    Yao got the ball on the move for the most part, with Skinner and Amare forced to show at the basket (voluntarily ceding position) to defend guard penetration. That's what my eyes told me. FWIW, Skinner had a positive +/- that game, while Yao's +/- was negative.

    New offense for the Rockets. Boris held Yao down last year, too. Where were those? Refresh my memory a bit.

    Kurt Thomas

    This is your serious response? He's in a rebounder's paradise, playing for a new contract, and you write off his faults as ennui? Here's a guy who proved toothless as an enforcer because he was so obsessed with getting big minutes--the punchline there is, when he finally got the time he'd...

    Duncan injures Knee!!!

    Since, on another occasion, the Suns showed mental toughness the Mavs can only dream about, obviously mental toughness wasn't the difference. It's not a matter of putting words in your mouth. When you retreat from your points instead of defending them, what do you think that's called?

    Duncan injures Knee!!!

    You'll be disappointed...all it takes is an official throwing a bucket of confetti on them at a crucial moment, and the Spurs melt and don't reform until the next season. :D

    Duncan injures Knee!!!

    It was framed as a test of character, not strength: cheese is claiming the Suns lost because they lack the "Iron John"-style manliness the Dallas Mavericks have become so famous for. Even cheese seems to have conceded that the Spurs didn't deserve to win on their merits.

    Duncan injures Knee!!!

    I imagine it mattered even more for the Mavericks in the Finals, where they themselves crumbled--in a situation very similar to the Suns/Lakers first-round series two years ago, where the Suns won through with flying colors. And again, why would it matter? Did Nowitzki get hurt, too?

    Duncan injures Knee!!!

    You're the one crying, with your fancy all-caps. :lol: The Suns made their stand in game 5, as you'll no doubt remember the next time it suits your argument. And who cares whether they deserved to win more than Dallas, anyway? The question is, did they deserve to win more than SA?

    Duncan injures Knee!!!

    ...and in the games that were fair tests of the teams' relative strengths, they were 1-2. Hey, if you don't want to believe in taint, that's your own business. :rolleyes:

    Boris Diaw is completely worthless.

    I don't care about his numbers, but his defense kills me. Most days, it seems he's not even trying to guard anybody who weighs less than 250. The good news is that Boris puts up that 20-footer without hesitation now. That's the one thing he's learned in the last year and a half.

    Duncan injures Knee!!!

    Speaking of which, did you see wHorry's quote the other day about going to Orlando next season? The magic is gone with Duncan, so now he's pining for Dwight Howard... :lol: That's like saying the Wicked Witch of the West was the only classy one in that castle--all she wanted were her sister's...

    Nash Scores, Suns Lose!

    You're confusing cause and effect here. Nash doesn't want to score; for him, taking a lot of shots is definitely plan B. So when does he go to plan B? When plan A isn't working...and when is it obvious plan A isn't working? When the Suns are losing, of course. So, if the Suns are in...

    KT's already missed 9 of his team's 18 games with injury.

    Spurs complain, league moves Duncan back to PF

    http://http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/basketball/nba/11/21/bc.bkn.duncan.all.star.ap/index.html Once again, it's not whining when the Spurs do it. Amare plays about as much PF as Duncan does. When are they going to move Amare to PF? Are they planning to move 6'9" McGrady to forward...

    Spurs Go Small To Beat The Magic

    If you're the Magic, maybe. (Fortunately for them, they'll never have to find out.) I'd love to know why SVG didn't send Rashard Lewis to the post. The Mavericks killed the Spurs' small ball by posting up Nowitzki, and Shard is at least as good as Dirk on the low block. :shrug:

    G&A on Banks

    Banks is good enough that he's better than the alternatives (aside from Grant Hill, naturally). Is there any player on earth Banks would defend worse than Piatkowski? Is he really going to bog down the team's offense more than DJ "25%" Strawberry? Last year the answer might have been "yes", I...

    Lakers/Magic Trade

    The Lakers' problem with Brian Cook was, if Radmanovic is healthy, Cook is entirely redundant. It was a head-scratcher when they signed Radman in the first place, and an even bigger head-scratcher when they extended Cook with Radman already on board. Evans is a guy who does a little bit of...

    Suns at Hawks Game Thread

    ...by Grant Hill. ;) Suns favored by 5.5 tonight. I hope this is another blowout, so we'll have plenty of time to discuss Kobe again...

    Suns at Bobcats Game Thread

    I guess it's because they stay out of the game threads. :shrug: Nobody would expect you to show that kind of discipline, obviously.

    Suns at Bobcats Game Thread

    Then why don't I see a single opposing-fan comment in the 24-page Cards-Bucs thread? ;)

    Suns at Bobcats Game Thread

    Well, if that's the case, they'll have no problem beating the Spurs in the first round this year. :thumbup: It's a shame the Lakers have had such lousy matchups the last two playoffs. Lakers fans crapping in the game threads now...what happened to the moderators? :confused:

    Suns at Bobcats Game Thread

    A seven-game series of games five? Yes. PJ has had fewer injuries, but I doubt he has any more stamina than KT (who was worthless in game 6 after his exertion). Diaw vs. Tim Duncan...hmm...yeah, Boris wins that matchup. :lol: They've figured out that he's not head and shoulders above the...

    Suns at Bobcats Game Thread

    ...and it's game 5 all over again, with the Suns firing away from outside and trying to get lucky despite being completely overmatched in the paint. How does a seven-game series of game 5 end up? 4-1? Kobe is not that good. Even Lakers fans are starting to figure it out now, and I would think...

    Suns at Bobcats Game Thread

    Kobe lovers. :rolleyes: Sure, Amare only helps the Suns against Dallas and San Antonio, so why bother keeping him. Looks like the Suns are starting to get into gear. If Raja and Barbosa can keep hitting shots, they'll sweep this trip.

    The LAKERS are rising and the SUNS are setting

    Last year's early-season loss to the Lakers annoyed me, but this year I'm getting a kick out of the fan response. I even visited LakersGround the other day, just to bask in the crazy. ;)
