    Amare Ought to be Embarassed

    He shrinks when he is not dunking/scoring. When his offense is taken away, he just loses interest in rebounding. I am not even talking about "defending". Defending bigger guys requires more skills and sometimes you just can't guard with less length. All we want is to protect defensive boards.

    Playoffs 2010: Western Conf Finals, Game 5 – Suns At Lakers Game Thread

    I was thinking about this last night as well... if Nash made all of them. 20-29. If we make 75%, 22/29, the game could have been tied. Oh well.. all this would have, could have, should have is driving me crazy. Just regroup and beat Lakers convincingly to force game 7.

    Playoffs 2010: Western Conf Finals, Game 5 – Suns At Lakers Game Thread

    By the way, Phil Jackson is known for playing "mind games". I remember in one of the playoff series, he told Fox (Rick Fox?) to nonstop trash talking with Pippen to get him annoyed and he did exactly like that. I wonder if Dragic and Vijacic incident was part of the mind game that Phil wanted...

    Amare Ought to be Embarassed

    I really don't know what to think about Amare's leaving. I think he is threatening to leave until he has that max. contract. Deep down inside, I think he wants to stay here. It is harder to get a "good" big guy like Amare in this league. David Lee is not any taller than Amare but David...

    Amare Ought to be Embarassed

    Is Amare the only player on the team looking for max. contract? If yes, then yeah, we can expect more from him. I'm usually pretty clueless about player's salary. Is Nash on max. contract for his age? Is Amare's last contract max too and he wants another max.?

    Playoffs 2010: Western Conf Finals, Game 5 – Suns At Lakers Game Thread

    I don't want to change the topic but I used to record NBA games when I was in college 'cause I didn't have time to watch but I ended up not watching them 'cause I already knew the out-come. :D Tonight is another game that would have kept me up all night. Right now it's almost 2am and I think I...

    Sources: Nowitzki to opt out of contract

    I think if (big big IF) Dirk wants to win a championship so bad that he doesn't mind small paycheck (doesn't have to be minimum, but small), he will choose an Eastern team and I think it's going to be Miami. Some people keep talking about Wade/Lebron combo. I can't imagine that combo works out...

    Playoffs 2010: Western Conf Finals, Game 5 – Suns At Lakers Game Thread

    It just seems like every time I watch, Suns loses. I was on vacation in Florida last year and there was a game on TNT Suns VS Nuggets and Suns lost... I still care about the team. It is 1:46am in the morning. It is way past my bed time! lol I can't fall asleep yet. Anyway, don't want...

    Sources: Nowitzki to opt out of contract

    I honestly don't think Dirk wants to come to Suns. I used to watch Dirk/Nash all the time and knowing how Dirk loves his fans, there is no way he would "betray" Mavs to come to Suns. Yes, they still hate Nash with guts there. If Dirk really wants to leave Mavs, he will go East. PS: What...

    Playoffs 2010: Western Conf Finals, Game 5 – Suns At Lakers Game Thread

    You know what, you've got a great point! Lopez only played 11 mins and he didn't foul out. With 3s left, Lopez should be in the game guarding the paint and secure rebound. Not that there is an excuse for Richardson not even laying his hands on Ron because even if it wasn't an air-ball, Ron...

    Playoffs 2010: Western Conf Finals, Game 5 – Suns At Lakers Game Thread

    I didn't watch the game 'cause if I watch it and we lose, I can't sleep and I need to work everyday. I used to watch Suns' games until that loss at Staples with two Lakers mauling Nash" Out of bound" and Kobe finished it in the end, and then Suns came back and won the series down 1-3. I...

    Playoffs 2010: Western Conf Finals, Game 5 – Suns At Lakers Game Thread

    I see Nash finally attempted high # of shots this game. Is it because they chose to guard Amare more and that's why Amare only attempted 12 shots and made 7?

    Playoffs 2010: Western Conf Finals, Game 5 – Suns At Lakers Game Thread

    Yeah. I watched it again and realized that it was an air-ball. Air-ball rebound is very hard to get for sure. ****ing lucky... damn. We need to beat the **** out of them in game 6. I have a feeling Amare would step up in game 6 but not so sure about game 7.

    Playoffs 2010: Western Conf Finals, Game 5 – Suns At Lakers Game Thread

    Just saw the replay of last shot. Looks like Richardson was paying too much attention to the missed shot and forgot to box out Ron. He needed to at least hold on his shirt or something. It is very hard to get an air-ball rebound. sigh.

    What did they do differently on Amare this time? I see he only had 4 rebounds but was he not giving enough efforts or?

    Playoffs 2010: Western Conf Finals, Game 5 – Suns At Lakers Game Thread

    Oh damn.. How come Lakers always have this kind of lucky finish? Looks like Suns played well. We got out-rebounded but it's somewhat expected. (Amare only 4 rebounds?) I thought we either got blown out tonight or won. It was very very very very very close. Suns just need to re-group and...

    Lakers fans and the popular conspiracy theory

    This is true only when they lose to us, but not when they lost to Lakers because Suns is not Stern's "favorite" child.

    Lakers in trouble?

    Lakers is in trouble if we win game 5. Now we are just even.

    What Will It Take?

    Yes. And if we even fail one of the above, we will not win at Lakers'.

    Will Magic be the first team to come back from 3-0?

    I was thinking... we all know Lakers and Celtics Finals will get great ratings but maybe it's because for the past decade there's only about 4-5 teams that cycle the championship rings? Maybe it is better for NBA to give other teams more chances so it's not as boring as Lakers VS Celtics? I...

    Warning - Refs Will Let Lakers Foul In Game 5

    This is why you want to have home court advantage. Regular season IS important. I don't expect Amare to get more than 12 fts so our jumpers must fall to have a chance to win. Lakers know they'll get better treatment at home so they'll keep pounding inside any chance they get.

    This is an outrage!

    This is why I don't reply in those "Obama" threads and I am surprised those threads are not locked yet. NBA should stop giving !@#$ about what the president thinks which team would win. It's just NOT cool. I am annoyed to see one of the headlines "Obama interview with TNT" on NBA.com. Ok...

    What will be the outcome of the ECF game 5 in Orlando?

    Honestly, I've never thought Vince is a great "basketball" player. I think he is a great "performer". He has skills but his basketball IQ is nowhere near Kobe's category and he doesn't have that killer instinct (just like his cousin T-MAC). I don't think Vince will dominate game 5 but he's...

    What will be the outcome of the ECF game 5 in Orlando?

    I say Magic win tonight in a pretty convincing way. I don't know how/why Celtic won the first two games but this is not the Magic team I've known. Magic literally destroyed two playoff teams. Yes, they are not as good as Celtics but I refuse to think Magic is that inferior to Celtics. I...
