We'd have a chance if we could make a god-damn shot!

We were 0-9 on 3s and the Suns were 15-27!!

Yea, if it was not for Q and his 8 3's it would have been a much tighter game. The Blazers did a good job on Amare.

The Suns weakness really showed despite the blowout. Our bench is almost worthless and our interior defense can suck at times. We also don't box out which is why we allow so many offensive boards.

The Suns will lose if and only if we encounter a team that shuts down Amare and holds our shooters to a low %. The Blazers did one, but not the other.

It will be interesting to see if you guys can pick up Carter or Kidd.

I recently found out that Carter doesn't want to come to Portland.

Have you heard rumors of Portland picking up Kidd? We need a consistant point-guard. Damon is too damn streaky... I kinda wish Van Exel would start over him.

[lukasbmw]

In the Suns pregame show they mentioned that Portland apparently had an intrest in Carter and Kidd.

I'm not sure how good of a fit Kidd would be in Portland, but he would sure be better then Damon at the moment.

I bet you guys really wish you held onto Jermaine O'neal. Remind me again how he winded up in Indiana...trade or F/A?

oh rack up another lose for the blazers.

A trade for fucking Dale Davis! We traded him away when he was 18 I think (drafted when he was 17)... he never really played much because we had Arvidas Sabonis at center. But we sure could use him now (although Theo Ratliff's 4.5 blocks per game come in handy :D ).

I missed that game. How much of the "Nash Factor" matters for this one? He can be a streaky player.....cold as ice on some days, and deadly accurate on others.
