No Shaq, No Nash

Robin Lopez starting at center, Singletary at point, start of a nice homestand, Peterson back, everyone pretty healthy… does it get any better? This is the perfect game to get back on track.

Hah, not a bad first quarter

Not bad at all. Beautiful move by Sool on the baseline, CP tearing it with a 12/5 quarter.

Early stats

eFG: NOH 72.7, PHX 50.0%
FT/FG: NOH 13.6, PHX 10.5
OREB: NOH 33.3, PHX 25.0%

A few more turnovers than you would like. But everything else going well.

And the bench goes turnover, turnover, time out

Oh, and gives up a layup, a dunk, and a layup.

by Rohan on Dec 3, 2008 7:44 PM CST reply actions

Tack on a turnover, a dunk, and a foul

We’ve hit a new low.

by Rohan on Dec 3, 2008 7:48 PM CST up reply actions

By dunk I mean dunk allowed of course

Now throw in a technical foul also

by Rohan on Dec 3, 2008 7:48 PM CST up reply actions

Even the starters can't turn it around as Phoenix gets hot from deep

by Rohan on Dec 3, 2008 8:00 PM CST reply actions

We suck

I can’t believe this is tied at half time. We really, really suck.

by Rohan on Dec 3, 2008 8:08 PM CST reply actions

very disappointed

that new bench rotation was not good and lost the lead.

David West!

by Rohan on Dec 3, 2008 8:28 PM CST up reply actions

Delay of Game

And Byron doesn’t look too happy with Sool.

by Junsier on Dec 3, 2008 8:32 PM CST reply actions

whats up with these guys

the blew that 14 point lead and has looked lackluster ever since.

by Ace Boogie on Dec 3, 2008 8:34 PM CST reply actions

The bench killed what was probably going to be a blowout

by Rohan on Dec 3, 2008 8:36 PM CST up reply actions

And we're getting killed on turnovers

Way, way too many TO’s

by Rohan on Dec 3, 2008 8:38 PM CST up reply actions

by Ace Boogie on Dec 3, 2008 8:42 PM CST reply actions

True

Peja trash talking Barnes

Love it

by Rohan on Dec 3, 2008 8:44 PM CST reply actions

peja and barnes went at last game too.

we need to show some fire and play with better energy

by Ace Boogie on Dec 3, 2008 8:45 PM CST reply actions

Oh really?

Didn’t remember

by Rohan on Dec 3, 2008 8:48 PM CST up reply actions

Well good thing we've built up a lead for the bench to lose

by Rohan on Dec 3, 2008 8:45 PM CST reply actions

i dont think we will see too much bench.

we need a backup point bad.

by Ace Boogie on Dec 3, 2008 8:47 PM CST reply actions

Ugh

7-0 run from Suns. Let’s cut this run before PHX ties it or something

cp3 is a beast

by Ace Boogie on Dec 3, 2008 9:16 PM CST reply actions

That he is

by Rohan on Dec 3, 2008 9:27 PM CST up reply actions

I'm proud of this team tonight.

It wasn’t perfect… far from it, but they played well and really put forth an effort… particularly in two of the most important areas – offensive rebounding and getting to the line/not sending the other team. Was great to see Peja shoot like Peja, and see Chandler and West really active on the glass. CP3 was the magician that he always is.
