Playoffs 2010: Western Conf Finals, Game 5 – Suns At Lakers Game Thread

[SirStefan32]

I'm not crying about it, but I was always taught to never kick a basketball by my coaches and it is clearly a rules violation. Just wondering why it is allowed...

Shot clock is not running at that point. You can kick it, walk with it, carry it, it's irrelevant. Now if Lopez throws the ball to Nash and Nash kicks it, then it's a violation.

Ah, thanks.

Suns actually had the opportunity to take the half.....before they melted down completely and let the Lakers take over....I thought the opportunity was for the taking until the dumb turnovers and Kobe nailing every 3 he shot...put them up as well as their momentum. The fact that we scored only 2 points in 3/4 of the qtr, squandered most of it on TOs and bricks. I'm actually surprised the Suns are only down by 8......the lakers were missing a lot of opportunities as well and making TOs as well . Amare needs to step up and not try to control the ball from far away forcing him to take hard long shots - Nash, Amnundson and Hill are holding up the fort.....it's time for Richardson, Lopez (as long as he is not in foul trouble) to step up once again as well as Amare to step in...and take over

Barbosa infuriates me. He dribbles around with his head down until the clock is about to run out then passes to somebody that has no shot at all....

Lopez's back must hurt if he can't manage to jump to block Fisher.

It's like watching two different teams... the Suns road team vs. the Suns home team.

 

[gdiddy]

is gentry really puking from the food, or just the way we're playing?

 

[GorrilaLips]

wow, turnover after turnover....yeah, we really need to give away our possessions right now.

 

[Proteus]

Suns down 51-65 with 6:51 left in the 3rd quarter. Suns have committed 12 turnovers.

Luckily it was the same with the Lakers. Doubt that this will continue, though. Game 6 with a chance to close out... this could be the last game of the season for Phoenix.

[tobiazz]

Why does Nash keep trying these high risk low reward passes here??? Why can't we get 1 rebound even... Frye good lord...

Amare blowing chunks on the road.

 

[SirStefan32]

Unless Dragic explodes for 23 points in the 4th, the Suns are done.
The door is closed, the lights are out, the eggs are cooling, and the Jell-O's jiggling!

 

[GorrilaLips]

this is just upsetting.....okay, back at Phoenix

 

[Bert]

Woo Dudley! I feel a run coming cmon everyone dont give up yet we've played very badly but this game isn't over

 

[jagu]

I thought the Suns would keep being aggressive, playing laid back cruise control offense is going to get you blown out.

 

[95pro]

bout time we get a freakin call in our favor.
duds misses the f/t.

kobaby crying it up...

 

[Ronin]
