gotta finish the half strong - cut it to 10!

 

[Evil Ash]

Can Nash guard anyone seriously?

 

[jbeecham]

We get an offesnive rebound and Marion gets shoved in the back and loses the ball........

 

[jbeecham]

Brand never leaves the paint on D....I know I'm repeating myself but it just keeps happening with no call. Then the announcers praise them for defending the paint so well tonight.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Can Nash guard anyone seriously?

no - and we know that - but Marion is USELESS right now. And what shove are you seeing - I see a player out of control, with butterfingers, playing like a scared child... oh yeah, it's the playoffs, what the hell else should I expect from Soft.

 

[hsandhu]

I'm calling it right now - this game is OVER.

This team is TOO BIG too give a big lead.

Also - again - where the hell is Shawn Marion?

Did you read the article about marion in the republic a couple days ago?

Thinking of some of the quotes in there, with the way he is playing tonight, will really piss you off.

 

[Evil Ash]

no - and we know that - but Marion is USELESS right now. And what shove are you seeing - I see a player out of control, with butterfingers, playing like a scared child... oh yeah, it's the playoffs, what the hell else should I expect from Soft.

Our entire team is playing soft right now. Hence why we are getting worked in the paint and with the Clips in the penalty refuse to DRIVE

 

[Nash 2x MVP]

were sucking right now.. we need to get some rebound.
were getting killed on the glass. Shawn is having he's
disappearing act again.. Damn we have to get it donw to 10 before halftime..

 

[Cheesebeef]

so much for finishing the half strong - long series folks, long series.

Damn Game 2s! Game 2 bit us in the butt last year, in the first round this year and now again tonight - when's this team gonna learn?

 

[Cheesebeef]

nice wide open BRICK SOFT - well Halle-FREAKING-LUJAH - A Marion sighting!

 

[jbeecham]

the halfs not over, get it to 10 SUNS

 

[Cheesebeef]

Omg!!!!!

 

[jbeecham]

Marion misses a layup and that was a 24 second violation on the Clips but they gave them the basket

down 14

 

[Cheesebeef]

IS sHAWN mARION FREAKING KIDDING ME? iS HE KIDDING ME WITH ALL HIS BITCHING AND MOANING ALL FREAKING SEASON LONG AND THEN goes out with the type of crap he's played all playoffs long?!

Nice layup punk. Good lord - 4 point swing.

Maybe short series the other way... no heart, no desire.

Marion should keep his stupid mouth shut the way he is playing.

 

[Evil Ash]

We cut the lead a whole 2 pts in the qtr. Somebody please wake this team up and get Marion to pull his head out of his ass.

They are getting worked in every single category. We're lucky to be down only 14.

Do we ever finish qtrs strong? We didn't learn from last year

 

[Cheesebeef]

that was a 24 second violation on the Clips but they gave them the basket

dude - you're ridiculous - he cleanly got that off - you bitch about EVERY CALL!

It's funny though.

I'm wondering if they'll review that at the half

 

[jbeecham]

Magic Johnson is talking about how well Kaman shoves his man from behind under the basket to get offensive rebounds.......wouldn't that be illegal Magic???

 

[hsandhu]

I never thought I would feel the hate for a suns player that I do for Marion right now.

"If I'm averaging 20 and 10 and I'm 6-7 and 225, am I just supposed to do that?" Marion said late in the regular season as he lay on a hotel bed playing handheld electronic poker. "How the hell do I not get the same credit as Garnett and Tim Duncan and those guys? I'm 225, barely. Is this just what we've come to expect of Shawn?"

Marion sat up and put the game aside as he continued.

"It's frustrating because I've been doing this since I got here. I've been playing with Jason Kidd, Stephon Marbury and Steve Nash and been able to adjust my game to everyone."

Marion considers himself a Most Valuable Player candidate, but only one of 127 voters put him on the top-five ballot. Nash ran away with a repeat honor. It's often argued that the Suns are nothing without Nash and they survive Marion's rare misses (he played in 482 of 492 games in the past six seasons).

Not in the playoffs

Looked like the ball is on his fingertips as the clock expired

I wish I had TIVO so I could replay those, the announcers even hesitated like it might be called

 

[Cheesebeef]

Marion should keep his stupid mouth shut the way he is playing.

Disagree with the first thought - people get wayyyy too high with wins and wayy too low with losses - we're gonna have games where we nail threes against this team and Marion will probably show up for at least one more game (I hope) - but to say this team has no heart/desire - come on dude - overreaction from what we've seen of them all year.

This game IS over - but ther series is far from it.

As to your second point - couldn't agree more.

it was close, but come J - you're better than that! Save the bitching for REALLY bad calls - hair-line ones are gonna go either way!
