F*** that. This series just got personal. I don't want any excuses from Steve Nash, Raja Bell or Shawn Marion.

If the Suns beat the Lakers in LA, hats off to the Suns, but I want them at full strength because a Laker win will be that much sweeter.


The Staple Center better be rockin' Thursday night.

thursday should be quite a night for #24. thank you mr. bell.

Re: ***Official Running Commentary of Every Single 1st Rd NBA Playoff Game Thread***

he said "We're going to ride the momentum and let it all hang out in LA."

He said hopefully they can. Stop putting words in his mouth, and I agree with him.

First of all Radja is an idiot, and I want that to be plain and clear. That was absolutely the most boneheaded things he could've ever done this series.

Im tired of seeing this junk from both sides, including the flopping and refs acting like game judges calling what they want to call.

With that, again I agree with nash that if Kwame was allowed to get away with it then why change now?

Bell needs to be suspended

I disagree.

I'm going to chock it up to playoff basketball. It was a punk @$$ move on Bell's part obviously, but hey...no blood no foul.

Bell's sorry @$$ needs to play on Thursday. If he doesn't I will be ticked off.

Laker's got punked tonight. Time for them to return the favor at home.

Maybe he saw that pic of kobe and cook too

Re: ***Official Running Commentary of Every Single 1st Rd NBA Playoff Game Thread***

Raja Bell = my new favorite player

Bell = Vlade Divac

Anyways, I did catch Nash's comments at the end and I couldn't believe what he said. My respect for him just dropped a little.

Ohh I agree that some can chalk it up to it being playoff basketball but I cant see letting a player play after pulling a player down from behind by the neck, I just cant see it. If the NBA will suspend Artest for an elbow but let Bell pull a player down by the neck with no suspension or at the very least a fine then thats not right.

I'm sorry but Kwame and Diaw was totally different situation. Not even close to Bell vs Kobe.

agreed. brown barely touched diaw.

Re: ***Official Running Commentary of Every Single 1st Rd NBA Playoff Game Thread***

relooking at that wwe move, he needs to sit and be fined atleast 2 games.. pretty sad stuff there.

but i disagree about him having game changing impact on the outcome. its raja bell. its like the lakers losing devean george... btw where was he tonight. He doesnt irritate kobe.. who does? he just fuels kobe on. with him gone, it could either mean a great game or an average playoff game of 2006, and just 18 pts with total team play, like their 3 wins

To you it was. Ron Artest would say different. The NBA will suspend who they want to regardless of what you or I want

You know, I was going on my NBA boycott but this topped it all. Boo ****ing hoo. Get over it, the Lakers have been getting all the calls. Now when the Suns actually play like they're supposed to, you got something to cry about.

I saw something familiar today when Luo Deng got called for a charge against Alonzo early in the Miami/Bulls game. The annoucers said, "oh he really didn't have control of his body but his feet were planted outside of the zone".

Give me a break. I'm out. Phil Jackson even agrees.
