Suns @ Clips May 18,2006 game thread

[Evil Ash]

We have not been able make a dent into that 12 point lead. It's going to be tough. They are shooting real well.

Thats because our defense blows

 

[Evil Ash]

This game is over. At least we have 3 days to prepare for Game 7

Bell 1-7
TT 1-6
Nash 4-11

I'm doing what this team did in the 2nd qtr and that's quitting on this game.
This team will never win a title until someone changes the mentality that there are games you can "give away" in the playoff. It starts with the coach and the leaders on the team.

The mavs showed with their game last night they no longer have that mentality, and even a team accused of being lazy, miami didn't have that mentality once the playoffs started.

Brand 10-14
Ross 9-12
Kaman 5-5
Maggette 2-2, 6-6 FT

 

[az1965]

Stupid turnovers by Diaw

Diaw has really been sucking for the last 3-4 games

 

[az1965]

That's what defense do...!! 3 3 pointers in a row, cut it down to 7 pt lead.

 

[Evil Ash]

Thank you 3 point line. Down 7 and yet again making another run w/o Nash

 

[Ryanwb]

Damn this team! Why must they always give hope?

 

[Ryanwb]

The Clippers have only attempted 1 3 pointer in the game

 

[az1965]

It's a ball game!

Gotta D it up in the 4th!

 

[Nasser22]

We are playing below average again and are still in it, only down 7! Please let this be another Game 3! Marion having a great game and keeping us in it again.

 

[Evil Ash]

Yup we're done. that was nice to give us false hope but they're done.

 

[az1965]

Down 13 again

 

[Evil Ash]

Empty the bench

 

[az1965]

Just not our night. Too many stupid turnovers and offensive fouls.

 

[Evil Ash]

I'd like to thank the 2 players that actually showed up this game ... Marion and Leandro. The rest of the team stayed in Phoenix evidently

 

[Ryanwb]

That was Nash's first 3 point make in 4 games

 

[Evil Ash]

That was Nash's first 3 point make in 4 games

He made 1 in the 1st half

 

[Billy Bob]

Who would of thought, it would take 14 games to beat LA

 

[az1965]

Well, so much for it... falling behind by 12 pts 2nd quarter really hurt. Played pretty even the other three quarters.

 

[devilalum]

Who would of thought, it would take 14 games to beat LA

and 9 wins

 

[az1965]

and 9 wins

We still need to win the 9th.

They blew us out 2nd game here. The 5th one was a battle and was one with miracle. Home court does not mean anything.

 

[Billy Bob]

that's 8 wins We advance
