Re: The OFFICIAL NBA Playoffs Thread

Big time heart showed by the Suns tonight. Maybe this can turn into somewhat of a series. As is common now the Red Sox talk is beginning.

I really think SA made a mistake by not wrappin this thing up. Last thing you want to do is give a team like Phoenix confidence, headin home. I definitley thought this thing was over but it would not surprise me if Phoenix can some how tie it up. They're goin to have to repeat some of the things they did tonight though.

That block by Amare was the best block I've seen since Tayshaun's block on Reggie last year. I got hyped when he did that.

2 thoughts after watching the game.

1. What the hell happened to Q-Rich, his D is garbage and all he wants to do is kiss Brandy and stand at the 3 point line.
2. Ginobli is not a top 5 guard in the league. He's just benefitting off of being a Timmy Duncan backup dancer. Why are people handing this guy a crown already.

Well if they win game 5 you never know although it would seem impossible for them to win 4 straight vs SA. Then again I thought the same thing after the Yankees scored 19 runs in game 3. Anyways it means more basketball for us and some drama which is good.

Dam that was 1 hell of a game.

The Suns played like the Spurs would on the D end, which is hardnose D. That's what they did from mid 3rd quarter on. They got the stops when they needed. Poor TD with his bricks from the free throw line.

Re: The OFFICIAL NBA Playoffs Thread

Congrats to the Suns for not being swept .... They played with the energy needed to pull out a win but I still think they are just prolonging... the serires not making it a series.

1. Hell yeah, Q-Rich gets f***in broke every play it doesn't make any sense.
2. I DONT KNOW WHY THE HELL GINOBLI AND PARKER ARE MURDERING THE SUNS! All Ginobli does is run thru the lane and run into somebody while throwing the ball up in the air and getting the foul. Parker just straight schools Nash when Nash is guarding him.

And Parker's defense is superb against Nash.

Suns got some lucky shots in the end. I don't want my team to be out, but they can't do anything if they gonna depend on all that damn luck. I know I'm not the only one that got up out my seat when Joe joe wet that mid range jumper in Bowen's (I think it was him) eyes. I was like "DAMN!". And of course the crazy layups Amare got to go in (hey, he had his heart in the game, I aint gonna take that from him).


Suns have FINALLY got the picture. HARD NOSE DEFENSE. Spurs got surprised at the end of the game when Suns were playing rough. They weren't used to it so they always looked for the foul like *******. Tim Duncan was shooken up. Amare put that body on him. I still HATE it when he gets the ball because he is so skilled with it >_< . He gets every damn foul call no matter how soft. Steve Hunter does a good job guarding him, but the refs baby Duncan.

GINOBLI AND PARKER FLOP LIKE A B*TCHES. All they did was piss Amare off. Amare set a clear pick and the guy ran into a brick wall. Look at his size and look at Amare's size. Case closed

One more comment that I have been saying all season long (and last season):

DONT LET MARION SHOOT THE DAMN BALL TAKE THE F*CKIN BALL FROM MARION THE B*TCH'S SHOT IS UGLY AS SH*T. Unless it's from that side angle where he is money from, don't let him touch the ball. Him AND Barbosa do sh*t that doesn't make any damn sense. Last game, Barbosa triedto release some pressure off of Nash by trying to pull some MJ sh*t and doing crazy stuff in the lane that ended up missin' by a mile. DONT GIVE THEM THE BALL



(Well of course you can throw an alley to Marion every now and then )

Re: The OFFICIAL NBA Playoffs Thread

UGH! I FREAKING HATE THE SPURS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ginobili is the dirtiest, cheapest player I've seen play in the NBA in the LONGEST time. He is frustratingly annoying. You know what that guy is? A freaking pest. Thats what he is. The guy is the biggest POS in the league. I threw my hands in the air when Ginobili got his *** TOSSED to the floor. F that guy.

To the naysayers who thought that Joe Johnson doesnt make that big a difference, look what he did tonight. The man was HUGE!!!!!!!!!! The guy kept our freakin' season alive. I thought everyone said he wasnt that important....yeah, okay.

This is the best game the Suns have played ALL series. We played excellent. THIS is Phoenix Suns basketball, for all of you who think that any other brand is. The only thing is, Marion usually has a bigger hand. Other than that, it's pure Suns basketball. At least we'll have some confidence going around now. I'm not getting my personal hopes up, but I'm just glad we could get something going.

We need to play EXACTLY the way we did tonight through the rest of the series, however long it may be.

Kudos to the Suns for playing a GREAT game.

They may just be prolonging, but I feel the Suns are winning game 5. On their home floor, with this "new life" I don't see them losing, but we'll never know. Remember the reason they lost games 1 and 2 was because they crumbled in the 4th, but they had sizeable leads in both of them.

God, I can't wait till the Spurs finish it up..

Re: The OFFICIAL NBA Playoffs Thread

I thought I posted that in the official Suns thread.. Oops -_-

Anyway, Suns are coming off a good game. Duncan played terrible at home, Suns showed the Spurs their newfound defense. So I'm guessing being at the Suns home isn't gonna help the Spurs at all.

Joe Johnson was huge in the game, but think something much smaller played a bigger role on how the game went.

Free throws. Suns shot 87% (can't do much better than that) to the Spurs 47%. If the Spurs shoot 75% from the free throw line, this series is over.

Game 5 is going to be interesting as to which PHX team (renewed confidence) comes out and to which SA (pissed that a chance to close out series) team comes out.
