Playoffs 2010: Western Conf Finals, Game 2 – Suns At Lakers Game Thread

[Tyler]

Put Charmin on the far edge of the bench. bury him.

 

[95pro]

im ok with dragic missing that tough layup.

keep them honest and attack.

 

[Tyler]

duds is the man of the quarter. He needs Charmins minutes tonight.

 

[95pro]

gasol getting bailed out there.

frye straight up.
lou coming from the weak side with a block

 

[tobiazz]

Put in Clark for Frye at this point.

 

[Covert Rain]

Holy crap Duds!!!!!

Also, Frye is playing like a scared little girl. I have not felt someone was this useless in a playoff series since the Doris Diaw.

 

[95pro]

ahhh crap amare is back in.

 

[tobiazz]

Barbosa was not out of bounds

 

[95pro]

i just slow motioned barbosa's out of bounds there.

FREAKIN BS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

no where close to being out on the suns.

 

[95pro]

crawford is crap

 

[AZ Sports Native]

crawford is crap

Yep.

 

[WellsNum1Fan]

Seriously, the NBA can't find better refs than this? Maybe they just don't want to and these guys are actually good at what they are being paid for....

FREAKIN BS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

no where close to be out on the suns.

I think it even hit Odom before Barbosa touched down. Oh well, those aren't the calls that kill me.

 

[AfroSuns]

ahhh crap amare is back in.

I would rather Amare return than Frye staying

 

[Sunburn]

everytime the lakeshow gets a foul, they complain.

There is data that points to the conclusion that teams who complain more get more calls. Conversely, those who complain less get less calls comparatively. Case and point, Adrian Dantley and the Denver Nuggets this postseason. Dantley rarely speaks to officials, let alone complains calls. The result, Denver received a disproportionately meager amount of foul calls. It is a matter of the squeaky wheel gets the grease. People here need to stop complaining about the Lakers complaining. Smart teams do it. It may suck but so does flopping. Bottomline, it's going to continue and it's scientifically supported good strategy.

 

[95pro]

good backcourt pressure again

 

[HoodieBets]

best 5 for the suns is dragic, barbs, dudley, lou and amare

 

[Covert Rain]

FREAKIN BS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Agreed. I ran it back.....BS call....Barbs was not out of bounds nor do he put his foot down before getting rid of the ball.

 

[95pro]

I think it even hit Odom before Barbosa touched down. Oh well, those aren't the calls that kill me.

yes, he threw it off his right leg.
bad call.

I would rather Amare return than Frye staying

agreed, once i saw frye out. i felt better

That's true. The refs (probably unwittingly) change their calls to avoid hearing a coach bitch at them. That's why the good coaches are always in the refs' ears.

 

[Covert Rain]

Guys as good as the bench is playing the Lakers are on pace to score 125 points. There is zero chance we win that way.

 

[95pro]

i slow motioned gasol's "block" on amare. plenty of wrist there...
the hands part of the ball, as they say. the wrist though, no so much


and since when are brown and artest making shots. confidence, which frye doesnt have.

 

[Proteus]

Suns 18 bench pts, Lakers 16.

 

[95pro]

hats off to lou.
pleny of hustle, loved him attacking, hustling, and going after every ball.

 

[95pro]

damn there goes artest again.
