its not like they are trying to lose the game, but at the same time pop knows the team and knows how old they are and is trying to limit the minutes right now, we are playing 7 games in 10 days and he is being very careful with everyone's minutes. Im not making excuses for us losing but there are adjustments pop makes in the playoffs that he wont be making right now because he is more concerned with minutes.

all im trying to say is that pop isnt letting the players that are actually hitting shots play long minutes because he is controlling their minutes and thats part of the reason they are losing, along with the fact that the offense stinks right now. its a tough stretch but well be ok, there are no back to backs or 7 games in 10 days in the playoffs

there are a lot of spurs fans that are freaking out about it and are cursing pop to the high seas because of the conservative way he is coaching right now. But rather than get all caught up in that im just gonna trust in him since i find myself saying "i guess pop knew what he was doing all along" so many times by the end of the year. It sucks to loose 3 out of 4 but im not gonna freak out about just yet.

I understand your point about looking at the upcoming horizon that is the post season. However they played over 30 minutes in that game (starters). Of course all that is really pointless right now except for court advantages.

Tough game tonight against the Warriors. We don't match up with them well and it will be a tough test.

Too bad we got screwed out of our winning streak tonight. Did you watch that B.S. game Rowdy? We should have had that game and all the refs had to think about was getting paid by the Pistons. :banghead:

Don't even give me those roll eyes unless you actually watched the game. If you didn't see the b.s. calls that cost us the game then you are blind. Makes me not even want to watch basketball anymore.

:laugh2: Maybe you shouldn't. Happens to a different team every week.

Crying about it is just silly ...... and just proves what people say about certain teams fans.

I'm not usually one to complain about officiating, but this was blatantly obvious even for a non suns fan to see. But of course because it's us people will just tell us to quit whining and get over it. Well it's not freaking fair at all. The NBA is so screwed up. Oh well, at least I have the satisfaction of knowing we SHOULD HAVE won before OT and it would have all been over.

Good job tonight Suns and screw all the haters.

Well I didn't watch the game and I can see by your reply quotes that zrin is up to his usual lump bashing of all Suns fans. I thought with his lack of posting here that he stopped slamming every Suns fan but apparently not.

Regardless, the Suns are a legit team and people here deny that. That is really one of the reasons I stay here. The hate is all-consuming at times and makes for good times.:) I wouldn't get too worked up over that game because the post season will iron itself out. We are playing as good as anyone out there now and it remains to be seen if that can be carried into June or not.

Wow, Denver is really making a statement this week. Three straight opponents ahead of them in the playoff seeding - and unless Phoenix comes back from 19 down at halftime - tonight will end in their third straight win.

It's now 130-117, Phoenix.

Btw, thank you Suns for keeping the Mavs solidly in the playoff hunt for another night. With a win over the Clippers (currently 69-60 lead at the end of the 3rd), Dallas can move up a game over Denver and 1/2 game over GS.

Since I have no legit Mavs thread...

Did I just see that Jason Kidd has 27 points (and two assists)?

:eek:

Excuse me... removing my jaw from the floor...
