Nash is absolutely abusing Parker, and the refs are already giving the Lakers every call.

Here comes Tim "Playoffs" Thomas!

 

[HooverDam]

Is there a chat going on for this game?

Im listening online, but also watching the stats on NBA.com. Its confusing because NBA.com doesnt have a delay.

 

[boisesuns]

I hope marion can bring it in this game.

Here comes Tim "Playoffs" Thomas!

Ever notice how the playoffs reward the lazy player?

No back to backs, tons of time outs, slower pace.

Thomas will be awesome.

 

[boisesuns]

Tom Petty is a little better than the song they played last year for the playoffs. Tom just looks like the "tales from the crypt" dude though.

TT did a nice job 1st Q.
Kobe is not ballhogging.
Lakers pounding it inside.
Is E House going to go off?
Odom playing well.
Suns keep it up for a 40 pt win?

 

[jibikao]

Kobe seems to be out of rhythm right now. I guess he is not used to not having the ball too much. lol

Lamar is a problem. But we'll have to live with his inside game.

 

[jibikao]

I think Nash is holding the ball a bit too long. Pass around more.

 

[TucsonDevil]

does anyone want to join the chat room?

 

[jibikao]

Diaw DUNK THE BALL. please.

 

[devilalum]

LB is ********.

 

[jibikao]

LB needs to calm down. I know he is quick but he doesn't have to do layup all the time. Read the defense and maybe slow things down a bit.

 

[D-Dogg]

Interesting 1st half. Both teams missed a lot of good shots in the second, while both teams shot lights out in the first quarter.

Threes are still going to be the key.

 

[elindholm]

Lousy second quarter for the Suns. The offense got stagnant and they couldn't make a three.

Diaw is tentative on offense, Bell's shot is flat, and Barbosa just looks scared. They'd better overcome these jitters if they want to hold on to this win.

As usual, the rebound situation is embarrassing. The Suns are a poor rebounding team, but a six-board halftime deficit to the Lakers is unacceptable.

 

[TucsonDevil]

Is Marc Jackson related to Greg Anthony? "Kobe is setting the Suns up for a big second half?" Holy Crap.

 

[az1965]

We had the chance to blow this game away in 2nd and threw it away...

 

[jibikao]

I also think Diaw needs to run pick&roll with Nash better. How come Amare can run it so easily? I can't really explain it but Diaw's spacing is just weird or maybe Nash isn't looking to pass to him inside.

The guy surprises me the most is Walton. Wow, he was shooting so well.

8pt lead is not acceptable.

 

[Gaddabout]

Ball movement in the half court is not good. Lakers are doing a lot of holding on the cutters ... good move on their part if they continue to get away with it.

 

[TucsonDevil]

Nash wants to run, and it seems that others don't. Not good to have Marion and Bell in poor foul situations.

 

[jibikao]

Our offense looks bad. Poor movement. Bell looks like he lost his confidence in shooting.

We are up 6pt. Man, we need some boost.
