Thank Goodness for the Cardinals!

Both the Cardinals and Suns have 2 things in common. 

1- They both score the same number of points per game!

2- They are both shocking the world right now.

Let's start with the bad news.  Amare Turnovermire STINKS!  Hang on the ball you inked-out freak!  "I'm going to play like a gorilla!" he says... maybe Amare's mom never took him to the zoo... cause every gorilla the Fredstrom has ever seen just sits around playing with their....anyway, moving on...

The Suns have so much talent but have no direction, no coach, no organization, and seem to have no clue what to do about it.  Let's start looking to move Amare now so that we can still get something for him before the end of next year when his inflated contract runs out.  

Matt Barnes is horrible!  Maybe the ink has run into his veins too causing blurred vision or something...because the hoop he is shooting at isn't the actual hoop!

Let's finish this post with some good news!  THE CARDINALS ARE PLAYING IN THE SUPERBOWL AND HAVE A DEFINITE CHANCE!

Other than playing in Glendale, Tampa is a great place for Kurt and Fitz to do their thing.  Heinz Ward has a busted MCL which really hurts the Steelers.  Coach Whisenhunt knows the Steelers really well and that has to be an advantage.  Vegas has the Steelers a 7-point favorite. Why because of their defense?  Carolina's defense wasn't half bad and neither was the Eagle's.  The Fredstrom agrees with Whis that the Cardinals have to get out to a quick start-which they did in the last 2 games, good thing cause the 2nd half has been a bit more scary.

Heck, after the Cards win the Superbowl they can throw some money at Fitzgerald or at least have him coach the Suns players on how to hang on to the ball! Honey-coated gloves need not apply!

Is the Suns window slammed shut and boarded up like an old convenience store? Will the Cardinals win the big game?

The Fredstrom always wants to hear what you have to say. Get to the blog and comment!

The Fredstrom Is Really Fired up now!

Holy cow!  Did you see the Suns v. Pacers game?  The Suns couldn't hit water if they fell out of a boat!  UGLY!  For a second the Fredstrom had to rub his eyes, he thought he saw the word

"Mercury" across the chest of the Suns last night.

And then it happened... The Suns go from down 14 to up 2 with just under a minute to go.  Then, Indiana ties it and the Suns have the ball with 34 secs to go.  They have 1 full and a :20 sec timeout and decide not to use it.  (Remember that twice within the last month Roach Poorter designed an inbounds play that resulted in 2 wide open lay-ups for Grant Hill)  

Like clock work in clutch time the Suns stood around to watch Steve Nash exhausting himself only to get stuck and have to throw the ball to a completely covered man, Amare, who doesn't drive to the hoop but elects to take a 20ft. fade away...BUT wait! J. Rich pulls down the offensive rebound and takes an even worse shot! (You should have seen Coach Porter signaling for a time out! And you have to wonder why the players didn't call it or even look to the coach?)

Indiana gets the rebound with .09 to go.  They set up their inbound play and do the Suns use their 1 foul to give? NO! Do the Suns crowd the inbounder to get a look at their play and get called for the delay of game? NO!  Do they switch like they are supposed to? NO! Does the shortest Suns player defend the final shot? YES! Does the best player for Indiana get the ball? YES! Does Granger sink the shot? YES!  MADNESS I TELL YOU!

Are the Suns done? Yes!  Steve Nash doesn't look the same.  He looks over at Porter with both hands palm up as if to say "I dunno?"  Amare is looking a lot like Suns version of T.O. Poorter still doesn't know how to use his bench.  He is still running 8 men out their but is putting in his bench with under a minute to go in the first quarter? What kind of rhythm can they get into?  Have you noticed any other coach in the league substituting like Poorter?

If Pouty Nash is going to continue down turnover hill should the Suns trade him too?

They are a different team with a different coaching staff with a different system... and the results are worse...Yeah D'Antoni's teams didn't win any championships but they did have a chance because they made the PLAYOFFS!

Here lies Planet Orange

The Fredstrom would love to know what you think?
