Just when we were all just waiting for a final match up of dominant NBA forces, Boston Celtics versus Los Angeles Lakers, the Orlando Magic finally stepped it up (as did Amare Stoudamire and the rest of the Suns), to make things a little interesting. But honestly, why does every win (or loss depending on which end of the stick you're on) end up being a blow out? Whatever happened to the brutal, clawing, scraping out of wins? Are all these teams just impostors?
Well, tonight the Lakeshow hosts the Phoenix Suns in game 5 of the Western Conference finals. Say what you want about Steve Nash being overrated as evidenced by the controversial MVP trophies, he is one tough dude. Must be the Canadian hockey-instincts. A broken nose must be nothing compared to losing 7 teeth. Both are heroic in my opinion. What else will Nash have to lose (physically) before the Suns win?
GAMETIME: Suns @ Lakers. 6:00pm PST/9:00 EST. TNT.
I'm hoping to see Goran Dragic make more twisty moves that will make Robin Lopez "box-out" his teammates on the sidelines. And what do we make of the Suns bench versus the Laker's bench? How is JRich playing so awesome? Is it the shoes?

The Suns zone-sets have been helpful against the larger Lakers team, which seems to have a vibe that they can take it if they want to. Or once they've shaken this heir of cockiness of former Champions with nothing left to prove.
My predictions? Kobe gets into the a** of his teammates and Sasha Vujacic has his one good night (per 10). Lakers take this one. And they win by 11.
What are your predictions? What are your prediction for our beloved JRich?

I mean it’s not that hard to break apart a freakin zone. Get the bal to the high post and cut. I mean, hell. What are you gonna do next. Complain about breaking a press. Sheesh.

HOW CRAZY WOULD IT BE
if jrich was the player of the half and gives a shoutout to his golden state warrior fans? that would for sure let everyone know that we are hands down the best fans in the NBA!
Dear god
I hope Sasha Vujacic doesn’t become the hero of the night as the zone buster
No. It well Odom, Gasol, or Kobe.

Steve Nash drawing the 3 FT foul on Fisher
Amare with the and-1!
Suns overall are the aggressors tonight
Anyone else think Vujacic looks like Russel brand?
Stephen Curry is the future.

Bad way to end the qtr
and the Suns didn’t take advantage of Kobe’s 2 fouls
Nope, it doesn't
it looked good early on, but not late in the qtr
by IQofaWarrior on May 27, 2010 6:36 PM PDT up reply actions
Suns going deep into the bench, 11th player
with Frye at 2 fouls already
This doesn't feel good
Suns haven’t done much against the Lakers defense the past few possessions
Lakers are guarding very hard and very sharply
and I think the Suns are lost
Kobe back to back 3s
Suns in trouble now, down 13
Argh, another Kobe 3
Suns down 16. I don’t think the Suns can come back now
Suns zone causing 2 Laker turnovers in a row
I don’t know if they just switched to zone, but it worked the last 2 possessions
That makes up for the ba 1st part of the 3rd qtr
Suns outscored the Lakers by 2 in the 3rd, deficit down to 6 pts
Come on Dragic
Don’t let that Sasha get to you
Lakers shots aren't falling

Aren't we glad we traded him?

But his contract was...
Screw it we should have kept him
Don't worry about the world coming to an end today. It is already tomorrow in Australia
Tell me about it
The day after he was traded I ran into him at a safeway and talked to him about it… We were both so sad lol

we'd need a different coach for a player like artest, he's defense 1st offense 2nd.

no we wouldn't
Nellie goes with players strengths. Our team has been lousy on defense becuase we have had lousy defenders for the most part.
no we wouldn't
notice that Nellie din’t get Ronron when he was available? He was stocking up on soft shooters.

A few years ago. Horrible shot selection.

I thought Kobe was mad at Artest's dumb shot,
but didn’t want to give any sign of it when Sager asked him about it
by IQofaWarrior on May 27, 2010 8:48 PM PDT up reply actions
That was really a hard shot to get off in that short time.

So lets see:
Kobe is most clutch player!!! but he misses two game winners this post season?
and both times, lakers are lucky enough to bank it in at the buzzer on a tip…WTF!!
