Why does Detroit always blow the Suns out (in Phoenix)

An interesting phenomenon the past few years when detriot plays the suns in phoenix, they usually win big. I have no theory except, they're good.

Why???

Because Detroit has a guy that Pheonix doesn't . I sorry to say this but Amare will not be the answer to your solution because he is a flash dunker and a jump shooter. Wallace can do it all inside and outside, he has a patented move in the post that Amare has to get for Phoenix to get better. Amare reminds me of Chris Webber. He does not have a back to the basket move. I don't know why he likes to take jumpers. Yes he makes them but Phoenix has guys that can take that shot. You guys need a guy like PJ Brown that can do the dirty work. Im not sure what you will get out of an Aging Shaq, but Amare has to figure this out because Wallace was killing him in the post. I think he thinks about his personel stats (scoring) but in Phoenix its not about that. Wallace scored less but he had Amare's heart. You dont need 30 from Amare it has to be more balanced. 8)

Detroit does well against us cuz Billups is a bad matchup for Nash, Sheed feasts on us on both ends, and also cuz they're 1 of the most physical teams in the NBA

We went 1-1 against em last year tho so it isn't pwnage, last night we just sucked hard

IMO, Detroit is the best constructed team in the NBA. They can play any style of basketball and still beat you. Run? They can do that. Grind it out? They're the master of it. Half court? They're one of the best. Combinations? They'd love mix it up.

Ah, could had been worst... like that Piston blowout of the Mavs last year... least we scored more than 67 points. :wink:

DET's big 4 has been through and seen eveything...now that's no excuse for a home court drubbing by 30, but THIS team and its mammoth addition has to have time to mesh and 'try' things on both D and offence.
