Game 24: Phoenix Suns (9-14) @ Atlanta Hawks (16-8)

Watched the thing out of a sense of duty - we won but serious, no joy at all in viewing it. If nash is god then he's in the middle of the time he spent in hell - those of you familiar with the apostolic creed will get the reference.
two observations: Chilly needs to start over Hill, trade Lopez immediately.

Don't believe Telfair - this was a fluke game. he will suck us in juts like MBanks did.

Banks sucked you?

Where was i for all this?

Y9ou don't remember he game where he dropped about 5 three's and we all thought, a-ha - D'antoni knew!
No, he didn't

I think Nash will be here longer than 3 days though.... He may think a purgatory reference is more appropriate.

Purgatory would be playing for the Bucks - this team is hell. Remember, time is subjective: 3 days in hell = 66 games

double post


but since I'm here ....


I am now on the WTF is Gentry doing wagon - I don't want the guy fired, but I am baffled by his rotations. If hak doesn't play, I can see that. But Price welded to the bench? Why?

my suggestion for starting lineup

Nash - Redd - Chilly - Morris - The Gortat

Reward redd for the hard work, even if you only leave him out there until he needs the oxygen tank. Move Duds to the second unit. Tell Morris we need him, so step up and get used to starting. We need the muscle and the boards. he can shoot the three so our spacing is okay. This moves Frye back to center on the 2nd unit, where he should be

Price - ???? - Duds - ???? - Frye

we need a PF ... maybe we can get one when we unload Lopez.

say it quietly (Lou ....)

I have no idea what to do with Hill. I admire the hell out of him but he's not the right guy for us right now. We still have a roster logjam in the backcourt and at the 3. I wish we had held off signing a trio of guards (though I like Price) and just played Hill at the backup PG

[RunDogGun]

I have been wanting Hill as our backup point for a few years now, but oh well.

If we could trade Lopez for Lou and a second rounder that would solve that. We could run Price, Dudley, Hill, Lou, and Frye for the second unit. As long as we had the lead, I think that unit could keep it, if not expand on it. Still really wish we had re-signed Lou instead of signing Warrick. We would have had almost ten million left on the TE from Amare, which we could have used on someone with lets say two years left and a pick for our troubles. Moreover, we would have given ATL our second rounder from last year, and had this year's.

Oh well, hind sight. Then I would have let Gentry go and had Westhead or Laimbeer coach, as long as they let Nash run his offense, and found a way to coach around that.
