Bynum fumbles away a pass. Sasha for 3, odom for 3. We're hanging. I can hear the game now on the Suns feed.

Bynum for 2. Suns ramming it down our throwts on the break. This is impressive Bynum scoring on Kurt Thomas he's a very good post defender one of the better ones in the league. 14 points not bad at all.

i don't get it, why aren't they running some isolation plays for amare?

oh and barbosa throws up a lot of wild shot, i think at least 4 in tonight's game.

Because it has always been that way, Barbosa isn't a playmaker and out of control a lot of times that's just a horrible lineup Amare is playing with he touched the ball like 2 times on offense the entire game.

Now with Diaw there was at least an alley-oop to Amare that got waved off but still..

I can't imagine how Amare can be his old self if he plays with those guys all the time and not the starters. With our bench our offense relies entirely on jumpers, fastbreaks or drives, no midrange game whatever.

2 years ago our bread and butter play was Nash/Amare pick and roll we haven't seen any of that so far , I only see Barbosa and Banks with wild drives, or passing the ball around on the perimeter for a jumper.

Barbosa and Banks are hogging the ball way too much for my liking and taking Amare out of the game.

amare doesn't necessarily need to play with the starters to be effective.

either way, they could be throwing the ball into him in the post so he can work on his offense some. they're not even doing that though.

With our starters we have much better ball movement and Amare will get touches to get his rhythm back. Barbosa and Banks are 2 black holes at the same time with Amare, they don't give the ball up so Amare can do his thing. Our offense stinks in the preseason because we play all of our bench so much together, I am glad our starters will play more in the regular season and we will never see lineups like now.
Our bench is not showing midrange game, it is only driving or long jumpers, no ball movement to Amare in the post or anything.

Barbosa and Banks could at least consistently run pick and rolls with Amare, for some reason they don't or can't. Without Nash our playmaking is so uninspired it's comical.

Not a very good game by Farmar. banks seems to be using him some. This is actually farmar's worst game and he's still done some good things.

We're a very competitve team though this time around. We've been in every game most times with our reserves against starters.
