Official Game 2 Thread

[JS22]

the officials, once again, are ****.

 

[BMF]

IS anyone listening to the game on KTAR via the web???????

can you tell me if its working?

 

[ehale911]

I know I don't post like ever, but these officials are atrocious. Two straight games of just horrible officiating.

 

[carey]

These officials SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[S_Nash]

Penny Hardaway--count it--AND the foul!!

He's playing awesome ball at the moment.

 

[Cheesebeef]

To be only down 6 as atrocious as that second quarter was is alright, but man we got start hitting some shots. As far as we're concerned, the Spurs might as well be the Lakers - they're gonna get the calls, they're gonna get away with calls - you don't TKO the number one seed or the Champs, ESPCEIALLY ON THEIR HOMECOURT - that's why it's called homecourt advantage - you have to straight KO their ass! Hit your shots and we won't have to worry about the officials! AMARE AND SHAWN - SHOW UP THE 2ND HALF!

 

[S_Nash]

Not a bad half so far.

This game reminds me alot of lastnight. The Spurs seemed to have a 7-10 point lead throughout the whole 2nd quarter, but yet only go into the half leading by 6.

Tony Parker's confidence must be shot-to-**** by now. He was dominated by Marbury and now is being outplayed by Claxton. He's also got 3 fouls.

Penny has had a terrific game so far, along with Marbury.

Keep the double-teams on Duncan coming. He's getting really frustrated.

We're still in this one!

GO SUNS!

Tough half. Stoudemire isn't getting anything going, and the Spurs are hitting some shots. I'm surprised their shooting percentages aren't higher, actually -- it feels like they are making more than that.

The Suns' guards really need to stay aggressive. If they can aggravate the foul trouble of Parker and Claxton, that would be good.

 

[Chaz]

Could be better but not bad half. Only down by 6.

That 2nd quarter was horrible.
The screen foul on Voskul...Terrible
On the dish to Jackson during that run I thought Jackson stepped on the baseline.
Give the Spurs credit they got aggressive and started making shots.

Suns battled back well.

Charles Barkley can be pretty funny....Kenny and EJ were talking about how Penny looks fast.. Barkley comes back, of course he is fast, Danny Ferry is in slow motion..LOL

Step up the defense in the second half and rebound. The Suns will be ok.

 

[elindholm]

Oh man, do I hate it when the Suns get into "center fixation." They've done this for years. They have a center on the floor who "can" hit an open 15-footer, and then it suddenly becomes their primary offensive option. They did it with Longley and Klein and even Danny Schayes, and now they're doing it with Williams. Just because the center can be a threat from out there, doesn't mean that you have to make him the focal point of the offense. There's no way that Williams should have six FG attempts in only 12 minutes.

There's no way that Williams should have six FG attempts in only 12 minutes.

I agree wholeheartedly, but it's the the Phoenix Suns' fault, it's Scott Williams'. Everytime he got the ball, he was looking to shoot. I knew that was going to happen too. It has happened all year when he's made 1 shot. He puts one in and suddenly thinks he's on fire. To me, really, it's mind-boggling, but it doesn't surprise me one bit because we've seen him do it all year. The only reason over the course of the season he did not do it very frequently was because normally either he didn't get the minutes or the shot attempts, or when he did he just missed them.

 

[S_Nash]

That was big Joe!

Down by 1, with one quarter to play!

Let's go back to AZ 2-0!

GO SUNS!

 

[elindholm]

If the Suns win this game, it will be a miracle. They are getting nothing from Stoudemire, almost nothing from Marion, and no help from the officials. It's amazing that they trail by only one.

 

[dyle_ph1]

4th quarter = stephon marbury

 

[dyle_ph1]

Or maybe that should be, marbuy > 4th quarter..

 

[Wally]

OK, I can't stand it. I'm up her in Colorado and I kicked my son-in-law off the computer.

This was a dumb time out by FJ

 

[S_Nash]

MARBURY IS ON FIRE!!!!!!!


I LOVE THIS GUY!!

 

[S_Nash]

The timeout was actually called by Penny Hardaway after the tape that was on his fingers came loose

 

[JS22]

TOTAL bs officiating.

Didn't realize that until after my post. So, now all I can cmplain about is the rash of crappy calls by the officials.

 

[Brian in Mesa]

Was that Danny Ainge who just chimed in on TNT?

One announcer said "A great play by Stoudamire" and then I believe it was Ainge who chimed in with "It's not Stoudamire...it's STUDamire."

You guys definitely have a rising star in Amare.

Best of luck in this series. Beat the Spurs.

Stoudemire needs to learn to go up and try and tear down the rim.

He can't be trying to lay it up in traffic. As a rookie he is not going to get the calls.

 

[S_Nash]

...

 

[carey]

The officials gave SA this game. So many bad calls I lost count.

 

[notakiddfan1]

The Suns need to get a small forward. Maybe Byron Russel would work, but anybody would be an upgrade over Shawn Marion. That guy doesn't do sh*t.
