Wendy and I will had planned for our anniversary night that night with a beachfront hotel and low key

Now it's watching the game at the Lakers bar

you’re a bigger glutton for punishment than I am.

and I love you for it.

that and hopefully no AD...

I'm probably alone in wanting Davis to play. I don't want to hear excuses from Laker fans.

I think we'll hear them regardless because he won't be 100% if he plays but neither was Paul for roughly 2 1/2 games.

Chris Paul was playing hurt so I'm fine hearing excuses from Lakers fans.

i don’t want AD to play if it guarantees we win. Which I think it will.

the Lakers fans can say whatever they want. I’ll be watching the second round and a run to the Finals while they complain and wax poetic about better times and unfair breaks.

I wish the Mavericks-Clippers game was on next. Nash coaches the Nets but I can't get into that team.

So glad Monty didn’t listen to everyone (including himself) and let our MVP candidate do his thing.

It's also something that could have lit a fire under his ass for today.. thats like a Popovich style move.. tell a guy no go...and then him get pissed about it and light it up when we need him the most.

 

[Mainstreet]

Maybe the Suns can get home and start playing like the Suns.

What an ugly game but maybe the Suns were blowing out the exhaust.

He's the only reason I can watch.

If Anthony Davis is hurt.

Me thinks you love this living in California...I know I did when I lived in orange county during the Nash era.

Steve Nash in Brooklyn is like him going around wearing Italian suits. It doesn't seem to fit.

The NBA doesn't want the Lakers - and particularly LeBron - out of the playoffs, so the refs are going to everything they can to tilt the games in their direction. The NBA has been doing this since Stern took over as commissioner. That is the reality of it.

The Suns can overcome that advantage by playing a much better game than the Lakers that basically negates the advantage the referees build in. It's not impossible - other teams (albeit, a precious few) have done it over the years. But it's an uphill climb.

And a successful climb it was!

Please take Crowder out, please anyone else

For all the crap you guys gave Coach the last couple games, he stood by his guys and they came through today. Gotta give Coach some credit.

Big baby needs a nap. Probably uses a pacifier also.

I think this game is over.

Dude... You know better.

 

[Hoop Head]

Dude... You know better.

I can tell you're going through the whole thread

SPOILER ALERT

He makes a nice apology at the end for his takes and owns the mistakes he made.

The Nash days were great. Especially that 3-1 comeback series. That’s when My friends and I were at our MOST rabid with each other.

But I’m actually back in Phoenix for most of the summer. But I would LOVE listening to the radio tomorrow to hear their fans whining like babies.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Dude... You know better.

lol... I know. Prisoner of the moment.

that was actually the most impressive part of the game. The Lakers looked like they were about to kick us to the curb and we totally turned it around to end the half.

 

[Superbone]

Yeah. Love ya cp. But you need to be on the bench. Prove me wrong dude.

He did.
