Lakers @ Suns Playoff thread - Tuesday April 24, 2007 - 7:30 pm

Odom said the team has no camaraderie, no effort, no drive, things have to change and quick, but he looked and sounded like he was going to break down and cry the entire time.

 

[Chaplin]

Oh. My. God.

That was the best performance by any team in the 2007 playoffs so far. We completely dominated that game--like Sager said, the only negative was LB getting 3 quick fouls, and he still went off...

It sure would be nice to play like that every night--if we did that, I would definitely feel comfortable with predicting a championship.

 

[TucsonDevil]

Odom started nice, but then fell apart...

 

[D-Dogg]

Odom sounds pissed at kobe

:roll:

Sounds like he's pissed at the team. There's no freaking reason he should be mad at Kobe after this game.

Good god. This is a LAZY, LAZY freaking team.

And Lamar talking about Kobe's ankle...really sounded pissed at him. :roll:

 

[Bufalay]

Reporter: Amare, you think you got them demoralized tonight?

Amare: I think so

yup. Man, I would LOVE to see Dallas and SA lose again tomorrow. Hell, I'd even take a split from the games!

gotta weather the emotional storm at the beginning of game 3. If were in it at the beginning of the fourth, only a super human Kobe effort will be able to beat us and even then, it might not be enough.

STEP ON THEIR THROAT IN GAME 3.

I might be going to Game 4, would be VERY nice if it was going for the sweep...

 

[Cheesebeef]

DB!

damn right!

 

[az1965]

STEP ON THEIR THROAT IN GAME 3.

Yes Sir!

STEP ON THEIR THROAT!!

CRUSH LAKERS!!

 

[sunsfn]

This was a great game!

All the starters had a great game.

When Amare plays some defense this team is really tough to beat, that is to say, along with his 20 points!

Everybody needs to realize what is happening with Barbosa, he is turning into a star right before our eyes!

 

[Suns_fan69]

If the suns can play like they did in the first half for the entire playoffs the championship would be pretty much wrapped up. That was the best performance they've had on both ends of the floor (I know I've said that about 4 different times this season). On defense they were active with both hands and feet in closing off lanes, helping each other and tipping balls. On offense it was beautiful spacing and ball movement. I was impressed by Marion's 2 dishes to Stat as well.

I wish we could bottle this up and unleash it every game.

 

[az1965]

They have no answer for the Blur.

 

[cly2tw]

I think Amare is the player of the game.

He was so sharp, so alert, so active all the time he was on the court. And we made the right decision to involve Amare on offense as much as possible right from the beginning. Even when he didn't touch the ball in a play, his screening, cutting were always effective so that we could get an open shot. It's his active cutting that made the assists for Marion to him easy looking in the end.

With him concentrated and our game plan utilizing him like that, we will win that damn trophy this year!

 

[dodie53]

all 12 players scored..
wow

 

[Bufalay]

amare's block on odom had to be the play of the game.

either that or nash's half-court alley oop to marion

 

[dodie53]

i'll watch it later on nba.com

 

[arthurracoon]

well, that was fun.

amare's blocks on kobe and odom at the start of the game were awesome

 

[The_Matrix]

Did anybody else see Nash kiss his own bicep after the hard foul by Odom? Classic avatar material.

 

[Mulli]

db, hadn't the Suns lost five game 2's in a row?

Yep, my wife and I busted up laughing when we saw it. It was awesome.

Right you are Ken.

anyone have a picture of that?

 

[boisesuns]

Barbosa's contract is turning out to be a steal!

 

[FArting]

Why were the fans cheering when Kobe got hurt?
