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

[AZ Sports Native]

This franchise is possibly the most snakebitten in all of sports... unbelievable.

WHY WAS CHANNING FRYE IN THERE ON DEFENSE!!!!!

So much dumb coaching by Gentry. Going to Frye for 3 out of timeouts to tie it TWICE and then putting Frye in there on defense on that last possession WHY??!?!?!?!

 

[gdiddy]

we gave them this game. bench stunk most of the game, missing free throw, nobody working the boards.


btw, anyone remember game 4 when kobe took that shot btw?

Well the Suns showed all the heart in the world on the road and came up one freak airball putback short. I'm sure all the negative fans will lament this loss but I thought the Suns showed all the heart in the world staying in this one.

 

[AfroSuns]

Godd job by the Suns coming back. props to them for coming back. I hope the last minute shot is not demoralizing

 

[Covert Rain]

Frack. Series over. No way we are beating the Lakers 2 games in a row AGAIN in the same series. We had to have this game. We didn't come out to play in the 1st half and that was the ball game. We didn't box out and we didn't rebound well.

It's on us.

P.S. Why the hell was Frye in the game and not Lopez??? Why? Where was Lopez? What the hell was Gentry thinking?

 

[Suns_fan69]

The team has to put this behind them. If anything, they've shown that they are capable of winning on that court. They now have to take care of business at home and try and win it on the road.

 

[thirty-two]

I am still sitting here stunned. UN FREAKING BELIEVABLE!

 

[95pro]

they did fight, but a lot of mental mistakes.

also kind of hard going 5 on 8

 

[slinslin]

Why the **** was Frye in the game at the end and not Amare or Lopez.

This game is seriously Gentry's fault. Horrible coaching to say the least.

Its goin 7.

 

[Chaplin]

We'll definitely win game 6 and this game proves that we have a chance to win in LA.

 

[tobiazz]

Suns 20-29 FT
Lakers 20-23 FT

That's all I have to say.

And "One miracle shot deserves another"

 

[az1965]

Too many turnovers, too much dribbling in the first half

 

[Renz]

they did fight, but a lot of mental mistakes.

LMAO!

 

[Chaplin]

Kobe's shot was a freaking airball. It's hard to play that if you're the Suns.

 

[hsandhu]

Am i the only one not devastated by that. We had no reason being in that game, made amazing comeback, had a lucky banked 3 to get there...

let's take care of game 6. that's it.

 

[gdiddy]

We started off strong and controlled the game for the first 8 minutes and then gave the rest away. Then we woke up at the end when it was too late.

 

[Chaplin]

LMAO!

Probably not a good time to come over and gloat.

 

[Joe L]

Nothing you can do about that but the Suns showed they can play better as the series goes on. Just need to take care of homecourt and make it a one game series. No shame in this game...

 

[Bert]

Frack. Series over. No way we are beating the Lakers 2 games in a row AGAIN in the same series. We had to have this game.

Wow, just wow.

This game is seriously Gentry's fault. Horrible coaching to say the least.

Hopefully they'll fire him tomorrow. Also jrich didn't box out, bench his ass for game 6.

 

[95pro]

why in hell did we keep going to frye??????

for offense and defense?

 

[S_Nash]

So proud, but yet so sad. So so sad.

I feel sick. That hurt. That really, really hurt.

 

[az1965]

We played very poorly and lost on a last second put back... we need to win at home and take it to the seventh
