the rattler

I thought we had this game in the bag in the 1st quarter but the Suns looked like they forgot to play defense in the paint and couldn't rebound the ball as we got pummeled on the boards....

Things that impressed me about the Suns-Barbosa.. This guy had one hell of a game and I've been telling people that he was going to be a very good player in this league...

The 1st Quarter-That's the Suns I'm used to seeing.....

The things we should have done better-Can we PLEASE play a little DEFENSE IN THE PAINT??? The Lakers got way too many easy baskets there...

Can somebody tell the Suns that we must play 4 quarters of good basketball and not one???

The things that impressed me about the Lakers...

1-Lamar Odom-The guy was simply ICE and we had no awnswer for him!! NONE!!!

2-Bynum-Is this guy for real?? He put up some very impressive stats...

3-Luke Walton-This guy has taken his game to another level and just to think I thought he was a bust....

4-The last 3 quarters-The Lakers clearly dominated our Phoenix Suns.....

I'll just chalk this up as a bad loss and tommorrow will be a different day as we get that other LA team at HOME!!!

Congrats Laker fan and if there's one thing that bothers me more than anything then it's losing to the Lakers!!!

It's one game, I'm sure the Suns will win another 55 minimum this year, barring injuries. Main thing for you guys is to get Amare back to normal. You can contend if he's got his knees right by April. Not sure how he'll affect your chemistry this year, though. Banks also looks like a bad fit if he's asked to run the offense. That's really not his strength, he's all D and penetration, average court vision and ball control.

I thought the moment of silence for Auerbach was cool. i hate the celtics but I'd like to see the pre-game ceremony for him in Boston for their opener.
