If It's Broken....FIX IT!

The Suns defense has been shattered...AGAIN!  These holes need to be fixed or the defense might need to be replaced altogether...like ASAP!  Call that guy that gives the free box of Omaha Steaks!

According to the Depressed's calculations, Tony Longoria scored 22 pts. in the paint!  That is ridiculous! The Depressed will make this short...why would you guard Parker or Ginobili 40 feet from the hoop only to be victims of the high screen and roll?  Automatically you put yourself in a defensive disadvantage...other defenders have to come and help...Spurs' passes lead to open layups for others. 

Juice's Coach of the Year: Doug Collins mentioned that the Suns should guard the paint and play a zone. Good idea!  It is tiring watching the Suns struggle to score on contested jumpers while the Spurs waltz into the paint and get layups.  You bloggers feelin the Depressed?
Last point- Let's put Barbosa on the bench and leave him there.  He is horrible against the Spurs. He is too fragile to be in these type of games.  The Brazilian Blob played 24 mins. scoring 0pts on 0-7 shooting.  Giricek can defend and can fill it up but he needs more minutes.

The Suns can't afford to take this much time to make adjustments.  They need to be made minute by minute. Not game by game.
The current playoff standings are below.  Note how amazing CP3 has been, how horrible Dallas is, and Philly's upset over the Pistons.

I agree with you on benching Barbosa. Diaw and Bell both need to step it up. Blackhole hates the spurs... Suns flag at half-mast today.

NO looked great in their second dominating win over the Mavs. They would be a tough second round matchup.

The Great White Hopeful agrees with the Great Black Hole even though they have a dichotomous relationship. Half-mast is right... but many say that the series doesn't start until the home team loses.

New Orleans is handing it to the Mavs and handed it to the Suns all year. Not a good outlook, but many have overcome...the Lakers were down 0-2 to the Spurs in 04' and came back and won that series with the Big Cactus taking the team on his back. Can that 37 year old back carry his team again? Let's' hope so.
