Suns Rise
Amare Stoudemire, Dime #14For their own sake, maybe the Suns hit rock-bottom when they got destroyed by the Mavs on national TV the other day, and it’s all looking up from here. Phoenix was an entirely different team last night against the Jazz, essentially the unit Steve Kerr was envisioning when he made the Shaq trade in the first place; able to dominate the paint and run at the same time. Amare put up 22 points and 20 boards in the win, Shaq added 15 and 10, and Leandro Barbosa, whose game is impacted the most depending on whether the Suns are running, scored 25. We would point out that Utah didn’t have Carlos Boozer, but Paul Millsap (20 pts, 12 rebs) has been playing out of his mind in Boozer’s absence, so it’s almost a wash … Play of the game: Shaq got an offensive board over four guys (Korver, Harpring, Memo and Kirilenko; it looked like a Duke game had broken out) and crammed on all of them, with AK-47 taking a forearm in the face in the process … As for the Mavs, they seem to have found their stride as well. The three-guard lineup with Jason Kidd, Jason Terry and J.J. Barea (the new “Three J’s”?) has been killing lately, including last night against the Hawks, helping Dallas pick up their ninth win in the last 10 games. Barea scored 22, doing a lot of his damage during a third-quarter run where the Mavs seemed to pull away before having to fight off a late ATL rally. From a pure scoring standpoint, Barea has been looking like Steve Nash from a couple years ago, never picking up his dribble until he absolutely has to and finding ways to finish over 7-footers despite not having Baron Davis hops or Deron Williams strength … D-Wade dropped 38 on the Thunder, treating their D like traffic cones and beasting guys like Chris Wilcox on the boards who should never get beasted by someone Wade’s size. We need to make a provision that when it comes to voting on postseason awards and All-Star selections, we can’t consider anything that was done against the Thunder. It’s like playing in an empty gym … After focusing on locking down Danny Granger on Friday, LeBron was able to get back to getting buckets, to the tune of 25 points in 27 minutes on the helpless Bobcats. It wasn’t all offense, though; ‘Bron had his standard-fare intimidation block (this time on Ray Felton) … When D.J. Augustin fakes a pass to set up a shot, does anyone fall for it? Seeing him and Mo Williams on the same court is like when Stromile Swift and Tyrus Thomas meet up … Speaking of Stro, he popped up and made an appearance in Nets/Sixers, via an alley-oop from Vince that Stro threw down like the good ol’ days … Devin Harris went for 27 points, eight assists and four steals in the win, while Vince (who NBA TV’s Kevin Loughery called “underrated”) almost had a triple-double with 14 points, 11 rebounds and eight dimes … Reggie Miller was among the celebs in the crowd for the Manny Pacquiao/Oscar De La Hoya fight in Vegas. Mike Tyson, Bernard Hopkins, Sugar Shane and Usher were also in the building, along with Keyshia Cole, who sang the Anthem. All three undercard fights were weak — the dude who lost the second fight, Sergio Medina, was especially a disgrace — and the main event was surprisingly one-sided. Oscar looked old and slow, and by the 2nd/3rd round it became clear there was no way he’d win the fight. Pacman just pounded him relentlessly, staggered him a few times, and in the words of Jim Lampley, was “disfiguring the beautiful face” of De La Hoya before The Golden Boy quit on his stool after the eighth round. Pacman was simply too fast and too strong, and Oscar should seriously consider calling it a career … We’re out like The Golden Boy …

Hi, Jurg from Denmark says:
hi hi from your friend big jurgy.
can some american please explain why mr donnie nelson mess with rotations. for a bad team he should play same players lots of minutes. i hate it because my mr andris biedrens is my center on fantasy yahoo team and he not play many minutes sometimes. and this is bad for my team whis is already bad and coming 7 out of 12 competitors. and now you know.
and does anyone think mr jared jaffries can make the new york knicks a better team? my homosexual friend vladamir bolcic thinks he make them into a team that can win a nba championship and i just think that is crazy. and vlad is too.
and mr austin burton, does mr kenyon martian and josh childress answer all the questions we ask, or just some. because i still wonder what happened to mr childresses teeth.

Bron held Gerald Wallace to 1 point also.Oscar deserve that ass whipping for that gay ass lump in the front hairdo Elvis and them cats use to wear.One thing I give to him though is in his career he fought everybody who was somebody besides Roy but Roy was scared to fight anybody until he got old and people wasnt paying to see him fight cops and shit like that.

Bring on Mayweather – Manny will tag that ass too!

Richard Wellner says:
Pacquiao isn’t Mexican, he’s Iraqi.
Secondly, the Suns are done. Put a fork in them. The big Jerk Off that is Shaq has murdered this franchise. Steve Kerr sucks.
Bring Nash to New York and blow the suns up already.

How do I have problems?
I am saying how it is with the Suns. Do you see them going past the first round this year- IF they make the playoffs?
Kerr was good as a Yahoo Analyst but horrible as a GM. He’s gonna be praying for D’Antoni to come back soon.
And Nash would be a great fit for New York. Since the Suns are in a rebuilding phase, they might as well trade him for Nate Robinson.

Hey man, it’s “Philippines.” And I like that they call our boy the “Mexecutioner.” B-Hop said de la Hoya would knock him out in the 7th. And if anyone had a problem with that, just meet him in the back. What a bully. Next thing you know, he’ll want to challenge Manny. Mabuhay to the most popular Celtic fan in my country. Peace!

Wooah… JJ compared Nash. Its too early for that even though JJ has been balling and definetely deserves to start.
Was the boxing match even worth watching better yet buying?!?!?!?!?!???? They just destroyed boxings comeback after last night. UFC has taken over.
The suns, spurs and dallas are all surpringly worse than last year, but its better for them to struggle now than later.
December 7th, 2008 at 8:56 am
Richard Wellner says:
JCARR, the Spurs are not worse than last year. They are ‘balling’ pretty damn hard considering they started off gimpy.
The boxing match wasn’t worth watching, man, not unless you are from the Filipines.

please someone correct me if i am wrong, but was that gary (the glove) payton in pac-man’s corner during the start of the bout? you can see him when buffer was introducing the fighters. i was asking a couple of people earlier and they also think its gp.
as for the jazz, i am alarmed by their record! they are supposed to have a deep bench! and d-will should have never gone back early! it sucks.

ei, thanks cat… im ayt.. im cool with that. i said my piece thats all.
btw… i think it is ok for the Mavs,Suns,Spurs,Pistons to get their bruises this early in the season. that means they still have alot more time tom fix their gameplan… for the Cavs… it goes the other way… they’re off to a big start and look ayt.. but they have to keep they game right as the real playoff caliber teams are yet to come…

Yo if the Spurs get Marbury, I got them winning the ‘chip, bros! Steph would give them a scoring dimension they’ve never had!

December 7th, 2008 at 10:34 am
rangerjohn says:
yeah they are in HD but it depends if they send the roadcast out. it is odd though cause some nights they are hd and others they are not. from what i understand it depends on who is actually broadcasting the games, not every team has hd set up, and last night the warriors where broadcasting so i guess they didnt bring any HD equipment with them.
what pissews me off (and they did it to me again last night), spurs at home and they have the OTHER TEAMS COMMENTATORS calling the game!!!!
spurs can look VERY GOOD (ie last night) when they play a team with little on the inside, when they are up against a team with good inside players they have issues. (ie rockets). they need someone better then bonner rebounding, better then oberto and his crappy tapouts, better then thomas and his age (he is not bad just a step or 5 slower) better hten duncan, OH WAIT what they hell was i thinking, there has never been anyone better then duncan! i think they have the outside game figured out. i want to see mahinmi in there!

I’m sure no one was paying attention with the fight going on, but the Kings were bad — like Thunder level bad — against the Nuggets. I just had the game on in the background but ended up watching the last ten minutes because I couldn’t believe a team could be that bad. Guys on the Kings bench actually left the floor before the buzzer, they were so disgusted.
The Kings announcers weren’t even paying attention to calling the game most of the second half, it was so pointless.
And check the highlights for a Dahntay Jones block against Brad Miller — absolutely sick, Jones’ leap made Kobe look like Scalabrine in comparison. That was the most excited the announcers got…they were raving over Dahntay all game, no Kings players to rave over anyway.
December 7th, 2008 at 11:43 am
Richard Wellner says:
Given how horrible the Kings are, how DARE Dime compare VC to Martin?
Martin is a crappy player on any decent team. He is one of those ‘do good on a crap team’ players.
Even though I chose Martin in the earlier post, I take that back. He sucks, the Kings suck, they should just rebuild.

Celts Fan says:
Oscar is wealthy as hell and owns Golden Boy Promotions (why Shane and Hopkins were there) and rakes in the $$$. Dude don’t need to get popped in the grill to get paid and is too slow to avoid it. Hang ‘em up and focus on the hype game. No shame in losing to the best in the world right now or in anything he’s done in his career. Call it a day before you’re Evander slow…
and I know this is a few days late, but after seeing Brandon Roy in person for the first time on Friday and seeing how he basically got shut down (for him) by the Celtics, I gotta give it up. Joe Johnson is definitely better right now. Roy is my favorite non-Celtic in the league and does just about everything (love versatility) but Joe does too and seems to get his a little easier at this point. When all’s said and done, I think Roy becomes a top 10 player, but not yet (and if both of these guys aren’t on the 2012 Olympic team, it’s a travesty.)
December 7th, 2008 at 11:56 am
Celts Fan says:
@Richard WEllner (change it to Dick Wellner and you get a great porn name! anyway…) I think Kevin Martin’s a really nice player, he just shouldn’t be the best player on a team. If he’s your #2 or #3, you’re in great shape, when he’s your #1, you’re going to the lottery again. Nothing wrong w/ that, he’s just miscast as THE guy, when he shouldn’t be.

You’re right, CeltsFan. That is more or less what I was shooting for.
He’s not a #1 guy, and if he’s your #1 guy, you’re in bad shape, like the Kings are. So I’m pissed at Dime for even mentioning the two players in the same sentence. Everyone knows VC was always a #1.

I watched the game on the CW (crazy, huh?) here in cap-city Austin, TX and we had Bill and Sean calling the game, very amusing last night btw.

bruce, you are missing the point, we are not talking bringing in mahinmi as an impact player, just someone who can give some athleticism, and some youth. ian was not out of the d league, he was sent down due to roster spots more then anything. granted his 1st season he needed to get some time in, but damn the kid was only 18 or 19 at that time. he just turned 22, most college kids come into the league around 22-23 yrs old.
December 7th, 2008 at 7:49 pm
baron von faulk says:
They had Mahinmi in the dL because he was rotting on the bench in France playing like 6 mins/gm. This way he could learn the Spurs’ system here in Austin and they could more closely monitor his development.
He could very likely end up being the best player to ever have played dL ball (moreso than the Matt Carroll suggestion or Devin Brown i.e.). Still very raw, though…
His #’s last year were reeediculous and he led the Toros to the Finals which is great experience, if he can do even close to half that in the real L he will make the impact necessary to (possibly) put Spurs over the top. If he didn’t get injured in preseason he would already be contributing.
He’ll do better defensively than Oberto or Kurt Thomas could anyway. He’ll grab quite a few boards, get a couple of blocks, and even posterize a few bigs with his athletic ability.
He is the ace up Pop’s sleeve for the 2nd half of the season, just watch. The Spurs are gonna be sneakin’ up on folks, just BAU!
