Man Wed, 30 Dec 2009 02:28:44 +0000 http://valleyofthesuns.com/?p=10184#comment-30471 Hunt or hunted? Mike, you really don't get it. Part of it is back-to-back vs. a day of rest. Lakers have also lost badly (vs. Nuggets) on the back end of our first game. ONLY PART is rest. Part is your not understanding how much the Suns need the speed, energy, clutch shooting, passing, and defensive play of the Brazilian Blur. Suns are 13-2 in 15 games with LB. They probably would be 14-1 if LB started each game. In the 16 games the Suns have played without LB, they have generated less than half the number of wins. Ugly looking without him at just 6-10. Just like last year, the Suns played very poorly when LB was hurt. They played very poorly when LB needed to be with his mom when she was sick. Suns would regularly lose when LB was gone, after his mom died. All I can say is "Welcome back!!!!" MUST start and ALSO finish with LB. Let's go SUNS!!!! Hunt or hunted? Mike, you really don’t get it.

Still, as nice as this was, let's not start patting the Suns on the back just yet. There's still 50 more games, and hopefully this is one to build on, but only time will tell.

I said for a while now that the suns have to have lopez on one of those guys and he played a great game. The suns did exactly what they are suppose to do they protected their homecourt against them. They must start playing Earl Clark a little bit more to let him become more comfortable out there because he has some potential and someone like him can match up against the likes of Lamar Odom although he isn't a threat in my mind. He also can match up with artest so just to have some more depth out there. What can you say the suns have one of the best benches in the league it would be nice to have Clark contribute a little more. Jason Richardson once again played a horrible game against the lakers and for whatever reason seems to bow down whenever they play. He really needs to go to the basket a bit more. He did play good defense although the refs called bs fouls too. Anybody ever notice that when the lakers bigs are matched up against other seven footers they become so ineffective?
