Game Thread - Suns @ Lakers - Sunday April 30, 2006 **12:30 pm**

Imagine Nash winning the MVP and not in the playoff games? Oh, that will be the biggest insult and comedy.

Oh, and it will be a greatest comedy if they change the MVP award AFTER Suns got eliminated. lol Man, I can't wait to see what happens.

Yeah thats what I was thinking. I'm sure they won't do that though. Has tehre ever been co-mvps?

That's why if Suns still have pride in them, take this series to game 7 and seal it. That's all I have to say.

I think the suns could still win this series.... oh wait playing the lakers and their 3 extra guys in stripes will assure we don't. I for one just hope someone sacks up and blast the NBA and officials for the garbage that has went on this series!

I haven't posted in this forum since the playoffs started for that reason. I just got a little tired of the refs getting all the credit for the Lakers' success. I won't be back to this forum.

Continue the Suns daisy-chaining since opposing fans aren't welcome, unlike the Cardinals forum where discourse with opposing fans is actually encouraged.

No I would have banned most of the trolling in here by now in the Cardinals forum. Sorry but it is the truth.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Irregardless of officiating...

Again the Lakers made huge shots. I am pretty bummed right now because it definitely seems like it is not our year.

The series ended today for intents and purposes. The Refs will be real - REAL neighborly in game 4. Too late.

Unless this is a best of 5 it is certainly not over.

I really can't call myself a Suns fan, as I haven't followed the NBA since the strike. However, I seem to remember us thinking we wrapped up the Rockets back in the Mid-90s.

Suns need their fans more than ever right now. Give them a pick up to get Game 5. Then maybe they grab the momentum, steal Game 6 in LA.....at that point it is ONE GAME....here in PHX with the momentum.

It ain't over til it's over.

That's right. A tough team is never out of it, because as the series goes on, the officials will permit more and more contact. It's the soft team that has to post four wins as quickly as possible, before anyone catches on.

This series is over. The Suns have been running uphill, and the incline is only going to get steeper.

Their backs are against the wall - we'll see. How many teams have overcome 3-1 deficites in the playoffs. Not many. Sure it could happen - it'll be a LONG SHOT.

There's a big difference with the Rocket team and the Suns' - they could control the boards and had Hakeem. There were more second chance shots again - and it's not changing.

No No No - L Gay is a metro area of 9 MILLION,
big TV market.
The refs have their orders.
NO Laker fans allowed to go to Cardinals games.
They can go to Charger games.
Or Raiders.

I'm very angry at the loss.

But i'm more angry that we didn't call these A holes (the refs) out in the press conf. Come on! That is incredibly SOFT! We need to make a stand, none of this, "We had our chances" shyt! F THAT! Mike D needs to get angry. I'm sick of the same ole after game quotes, especially after such a controversial blunder by the refs. It's not good enough and nothing will be done if we don't speak LOUD about it... Atleast put some pressure back on these crooks!




I still believe in this team. We had great energy from the start. Had very good looks all night. Boris needs to continue his great play down low. He's hard to stop. Shawn is back. It's not over yet.

This team needs to win game 5. Take it back to Laker's. I don't care how. That's the least they can do. Take it to game 6.

It'll go back to the Stapeles.

Its not over until Lakers win 4...Remember a few seasons ago, when Magic was up 3-1 against Pistons.We know what happened after that...Game 4 was more unlucky than anything.

Saw the game this morning. I was pretty happy to see that the players (including Marion) played with at least some energy and intensity. And then I've thrown up my coffee and viennoiseries.

After such a masquerade, I think I must be masochist or totally moronic to follow the NBA and definitively disgusted by the officiating as a suns fan. I didn't want to complain (some would say whine but whatever) about it after the second and third games, because the bad calls weren't the main reason of the losses.

But that fourth game is really too hard to swallow for me, we have been totally robbed.

I still hope (there's some reasons after all) that, by some kind of miracle, we'll see an angry Suns team take the last three games, and I'm extactic about it. But I'm afraid that won't be enough. And please, fellow ASFNers going to the 5th game : make some freaking noise and put the arena on fire !
