22 to 4 FT differential...yeah, that's all on the Suns

 

[TheHopToad]

LOL...nice hometown clock operator.

 

[ArizonaSportsFan]

Eh, not worth it for me to finish watching this game tonight. Win or lose, the Suns are acting once again like they are owed something. This is what got them in trouble earlier this year and last year, in my opinion. Thinking the Lakers we going to roll over was a dumb move. Stopped playing fundamental bball and look what happens. Beat by Kobe and the scrubs.

 

[slinslin]

What is Amare doing leaving Kwame all alone on 3 successive dunks????? He is making him an all star.

Because Marion/Bell/Barbosa are letting their man drive right at the rim on every posession, he has to come over..

 

[jbeecham]

Lakers smack the backboard as LB puts a layup high off the glass and of course misses, yet no basket interference call. Kobe back to the ft line after another light contact.

 

[slinslin]

Come on no excuses, Shawn Marion lets Odom destroy him. 3 boards by Marion, 0 by Bell,

 

[jbeecham]

Even after the Suns come back and win this game, I'll still say it was horribly officiated throughout the entire game.

 

[Freddie]

Do you think if the Suns players yelled after every drive to the hoop (ala Kobe) they'd get fouls called? UGH

 

[dodie53]

that's why they call it 'homecourt advantage'

 

[slinslin]

Why can't Diaw dunk stuff like that? 2 handed dunk, its either a foul or a dunk, at least.

They are the aggressors so getting calls... they are hustling today, crashing the boards...

 

[jbeecham]

This is a lot like the GS Dallas game 2 where GS couldn't get a call and they still shot more fts than we have tonight.

 

[slinslin]

What the hell is that offense? Shawn Marion is pathetic and Barbosa out of control.
What is Shawn Marion doing? He is a liability on offense AND defense and people wonder why some want him traded, typical Shawn Marion playoff perfomance.

 

[jbeecham]

Marion goes to the basket and gets body blocked by Kwame with no call and then a blocking foul on Nash on the other end.....

 

[Mike Olbinski]

Shawn can't get anything to fall...I wish his shot was more than just "toss it up there" sometimes...

I still love him.

 

[slinslin]

Marion goes to the basket and gets body blocked by Kwame with no call and then a blocking foul on Nash on the other end.....

Stop whining, Marion went up soft and blew a layup like he always does and on the other end he let Odom get position right under the basket and catch it and lay it in.

No ref will bail Marion out for that..

Steve Nash is playing like crap, he has done nothing since the first quarter. Way too passive on offense and careless with the ball.

 

[Mike Olbinski]

Ugh...

Please if you think this game is evenly officiated then you're smokin crack. 28fts to 12fts. Kobe has more fts than the entire Suns team.

 

[mjb21aztd]

lets see how many laker trolls come out of hiding this game

 

[Griffin]

There was a stretch in the 4th where the Lakers missed something like 6 straight shots, but the Suns could not capitalize. We blew this game, it's that simple. We just gave it away, gift-wrapped and all.

 

[az1965]

Do you know anything else other than to complain about officiating????

 

[jbeecham]

Suns got out-rebounded and had more turnovers than they should, but you can't ignore the obvious reason why they lost.

They even call a foul as Smush acts like a showboat. Should've put him on his ass hard.

 

[slinslin]

Excuses , Excuses.. Shawn Marion once again proved in the playoffs that he is overrated. Odom owned him in every way possible and the rest Marion owned himself, 3 missed layups and a bunch of other dumb shots.

And Barbosa, confidence is great, dumb shots are not, totally out of control.

 

[mjb21aztd]

aww well cant win them all hard game to lose we will get them next game hopefully and great job by the lakers trying to score with 1.0 sec with game already over... atleast this last play should motivate the suns for the next game
