Well, Barbosa finally made a layup. I was so sure he was going to miss it.

The goal is to tie it at 4th and House on fire when Nash sits down.

The only fix for the Suns right now is our big men's health.

Due to missing the top two guys, we are forced to play radically small and out of position. Even if by some miracle we beat the Lakers, we would be done against whomever we played in Round 2.

i'm ok with losing to some1 else, but not the Lakers. They are a bad team. We should not lose to bad teams! We're better than that.

FINALLY Marion shows some life. Maybe he's satisfied that he's made his point: The Suns can't win without him. Fine, we apologize ... now get over it and start playing.

totally. If I see Marion make an agressive move to the basket only to see the off defender rotate and then have Marion drop the ball back outside, Im going to puke. We all know that Marion cant create his own shot, and he's proving it in spades today. I loved Marion all season long, but if theres one player on this team that lends credence to the idea that Phoenix isnt a tem built for the playoffs, its him. But to be faiur, Diaw, Bell (offensively anyways), and Barbosa are all stinking it up, too. At least Bell is playing his ass off on the defensive end.

Your right, this isn't a team that was built for the playoffs. Amare and K Thomas would be on that team.

Walton definitely grabbed Jones on his way to the hoop, but you are never going to get that call with under a second left.....

OT here we go...

I can't believe the Lakers came back...I thought it was over...just make your free throws.

Nash had no reason to do anything but hold the ball in his hands and get fouled...not make a move...

ugh ugh...this sucks...

Come on guys!

Nash made a mistake by not bearhugging the ball once he caught it, but there's no way that was a clean steal. He caught Nash on the shoulder and then across the arm to knock the ball out.

The Parker flop on the Diaw screen in OT was crap too.

I really hope the Suns can pull this out and you know that there's no way Kobe fouls out of this game like Marion did.

BTW I thougth the officiating wasn't too bad for most of the game (although a lot of Suns are in foul trouble).

I was just like to congratulate the refs on a wonderful game. You owned us.
