Game 50: Phoenix Suns (17-32) @ New Orleans Hornets (15-33)

[MathiasPW]

Enough of having lame last-minute game threads. Are we fans or what!?

When & Where: New Orleans Arena, New Orleans - 8pm ET

Phoenix Suns Starting Lineup:

PG: Goran Dragic, the Dragon (might be out, virus issues)


SG: PJ MotherTucker, our Defensive Beast


C: Gortat, the Polish Hammer (finally played like one on 1st half against Memphis)


SF: Jared Dudley, the Junkyard Dog


PF: Luis Scola, our No Country for Old Men Assassin

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
New Orleans Pelicans Starting Lineup:

PG: Vasquez, the creator


SG: Gordon, the Max Contract Mutant Ninja Turtle


C: RoLo, the Hunchback who should have played in Notre Dame


SF: Aminu, the guy that doesn't really matter (and we'll most likely make a hero of)


PF: Davis, the Unibrow Defensive Wall that has the most absurd shoulder-to-head proportion in the NBA

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

They are rested, we are not. Tucker on Gordon can win us the game. Beasley on a good night as well.

Dragić playing

Let's see some Lopez tonight

Game time !

Also NOLA with awful jerseys IMO they look like Brazilian team.

[Miklo]

Third? Game already started? Killin' it guys!

[MarcoPolo]

Quick changes by Hunter in 1st Q.

I guess NO is so boring to watch so everyone decided to skip this game.
It's suprisingly quite tight but it looks like we have control on what is happening there.

Gortat with nice one hand dunk Woahhhh

[Kerrsed]

Im watching. Just too busy at the moment to post.

Dragic and Vasquez playing great, Gordon looks tired or injured.

[Saberestar]

Marshall and Dragic together one more time.

[Calvin Klein]

This board is dead.

[Saberestar]

Marshall and Dragic together one more time.

Finally it was only for one play, we will see if they play together in the fourth quarter.

[Saberestar]

Markieff Morris...I have no hope with this player. I see some Malik Allen in him.

The road to the top 5 pick in the draft continues.

That was ugly.

Phoenix went from the most feared three point shooting team a couple years ago to currently 29th. Nobody is getting open and even when they do they seem to lack confidence.

Morris looks totally lost 80% of the time. Dragic hesitates too often when he creates an open shot opportunity. Marshall is just a bad shooter... can't figure out why you would draft a guard in the first round who cannot shoot. Shannon Brown, well... you'd think he could at least be a confident shooter if nothing else. But so many of his shots miss badly. Gortat disappears for minutes at a time.

31 points in the second half.

Remember the glory days of the mid 2000's when we'd score 40 points in a quarter?

Its already forgotten.

Those jerseys are almost as bad as the name the Pelicans. WTF is the front office doing over there besides crack?

The good news is that they are one of the few teams worse than us so by losing to them they "gain" 1 full win or game versus us. They may be the only team behind us in the standings capable of passing us so this is very good indeed.

deleted, meant for the okc game thread

[JTrain]

Can someone explain to me why NO has such a bad record? It seems like they have a legitimately solid roster.

PS - Did you know Robin Lopez is #25 in the league in PER? The Suns' top guy is Dragic at #69.
