the adt one works now, though not so smooth

Amare looked slow

but the effort was there

 

[Ronin]

Dragic should've have looked before he made that pass

Nash needs to stop turning the ball over.

 

[Ronin]

Nice dunk by Channing Frye, and on other end nice block by Amare.

 

[Proteus]

Nice dunk by Frye.

Amare has been active! Workman like active! Haters will still bash him for his stats though. Nash and Amare 2-man game doesn't work as well though.
JRich has been really active all around too, still committing too many bad fouls.

 

[Sovereignz]

I don't get the love affair with Al Jefferson.. I understand he has good footwork and soft touch around the basket but he plays completely out of the flow on offense and he's a huge black hole.

And J-Rich is going to have a good season.

 

[Lefty]

Bear Down Channing!!!

Bear Down Channing!!!

Frye giving the big middle finger to the Knicks and the Trailblazers

 

[Sovereignz]

Frye can't keep up this kind of shooting, can he? He's freaking deadeye out there.

 

[Ronin]

Channing Frye is on fire!

 

[Sovereignz]

Good God Channing.

 

[Proteus]

Suns up 96-85 after the 3rd quarter.

 

[JS22]

Looks like Frye just needed the chance in the right system? He's always had a very good shot. This team is perfect for him. Needs to up his rebounding but this may be the steal of free agency.

I'm hoping for 15/7 from Frye.

 

[Sovereignz]

Nash is going to lead the league in TO's this season. Bleh. Really good second half D though, other than giving up too many offensive rebs.

 

[Wonder]

Frye can't keep up this kind of shooting, can he? He's freaking deadeye out there.

Well he's almost always wide open, that would pick up percentages. And Once Amare finds his offensive flow it'll be very hard for another team to contain them.

 

[Proteus]

Good job Suns.

 

[cly2tw]

Well he's almost always wide open, that would pick up percentages. And Once Amare finds his offensive flow it'll be very hard for another team to contain them.

The idea is to force defense to stretch out to cover Frye on the parameter, creating more space for our offense to operate. If he keeps it like that, this will work well for us.
