The Fredstrom Isn't Happy!

Not to take anything away from the Cardinals, but the fact that they are scoring more points than the Suns is driving the Fredstrom nuts!

72 total points against the Denver Nuggets-a team that is reminiscent of the Suns defense of past years!  13 pts in a quarter?  The Fredstrom knows that this is preseason, he knows that Amare and Leandro didn't play, and yes the game was outside, but there didn't appear to be any dust devils or monsoons? However, Shaq did say it was colder than a bleeper bleeper!

This year is going be very different if the Suns are going to play old school New York Knicks or Detroit Pistons circa The Bad Boy days basketball.  If the Fredstrom wanted to see 70pt. games he would go see the Phoenix Mercury.  Coach Terry Porter said that the Suns can run but only when they get a rebound, not taking it out of the hoop after a made basket?  Why can't the Suns run and just play better defense with an increased focus on rebounding?  

Don't subject the Suns fans to this sloppy, slow, boring type of basketball...Please!  Coach Porter also wants the Suns to be patient on offense?  Well that has led the Suns to two things: Launching up last second shots trying to avoid shot clock violations and a lousy 31% field goal percentage!  The Fredstrom recommends that the Suns take the first available open shot- not this :27 secs or less offense!

Congrats to the Arizona Cardinals for a big win over the Cowboys!  That game reminded the Fredstrom a D-Backs' 9th inning where the closer comes in and gives the lead away with four straight walks.  You sit there and think how much worse can it get?  Being offsides by 40+ yards?  Just enough of a penalty to give the Cowboys those extra five yards allowing the ball to sneak over the crossbar!  It was classic Cardinals football.  Luckily the defense was able to take the game into their own hands, allowing 3 and out, breaking Tony Simpson's finger, then blocking a punt and rolling into the end zone. Amazing game... Hey T-O... looks like you were the 3rd best receiver on Sunday, but you did a good job yelling at your teammates on the sideline.   The Fredstrom wonders how long it will take before T-O has a media meltdown?
