Nash is going to look like a hockey goon when the playoffs are over.

 

[Michael]

Yes! Good to see Amar'e with the lucky game tonight. But the big, unexpected, match winner is surely Lopez. What a difference he made!

 

[Joe L]

What a punk move by Fisher. The game was over and he goes and does that? He got A'mare and Nash busted up today and he cries about a little elbow from Lopez?

 

[Proteus]

Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Suns win 118-109. Great win Suns.

Amare: "My dedication to the game should never be questioned." Ugh.

 

[SpokaneCardfan]

Amare' " I dedicate my game to the um , game of Basketball." WTF

Back in the series... Great job tonight!!

He is a freakin' a-hole... I wish Lopez's elbow had busted his skull

 

[az1965]

Amare' " I dedicate my game to the um , game of Basketball." WTF

Some wise words from... um... ah... well

 

[AfroSuns]

Sad, how people dont get the concept of coaching. Amare was getting his points but it wasn't like we were blowing them out. HUGE game by Amare but the zone won this game.
Now that Amare put up a game bigger than even Kobe's, people are going to whine about how he didn't play well in this series till now
Lakers protected their home court, nothing else it is left for the Suns to do the same.
Another huge advantage tonight, is the minutes Kobe played. I want to see him come to game 4 with fresh legs.

 

[Mainstreet]

I guess the Suns figured out how to win with Frye in the Laker series.... not play him. This may send a message to Frye and get his head back into the game. IMO, the Suns will need him to win the series.

Amare: "My dedication to the game should never be questioned." Ugh.

Well actually, we all questioned it and you responded by going 42 and 11 so I'm going to say right now, once again:

I QUESTION YOUR DEDICATION TO THE GAME!

 

[TJ]

Amare: "My dedication to the game should never be questioned." Ugh.

Right. Where was your dedication the first 2 games of the series? Kind of coincidental that you finally perform after getting lambasted in the media

Amare' " I dedicate my game to the um , a max contract." WTF

FTFY

 

[Mainstreet]

Who would have thought Lopez, an offensive threat... 20 pts!

It's looking like the Suns have a real center for the first time in the history of the franchise not taking anything away from those who have tried before.

 

[cly2tw]

We are our own obstacle at times.

- We set up Frye to fail and stick to playing him when he have no confidence, which hurt the team.

- we too often let other teams supporting players go hot on us

- we have not optimized our offensive game plan yet which includes feeding Frye

Going forward we really should not play Frye too much. And we should at times try more Nash catch and shoot, as Lakers have done a great job to contest his pull-up jumpers. We'll see how long it takes for the Lakers to bust our zone defense, but with energy and concentration, it's still an open series going into 6-7 games.

Go Suns!

Jackson blames the game on the refs. Classy.
