Dear God someone shoot the guy with that wooden cow bell or whatever its called.

 

[green machine]

Oberto is such a piece of trash on the court. All he does is flop on defense.

At least Ginobili has game, Oberto, not so much.

 

[Ronin]

Nice shot diaw.

 

[Ronin]

Stoudemire!

 

[TRW]

Bad luck...

for the Suns. Salvatore and his crew always goes against the Suns. He hates 'em.

Suns have to play double-smart today. They will get NO help, even less than usual, from this crew.

 

[mojorizen7]

The NBA should just start putting their referees on their commercials.
Barbosa is terrible.
Diaw holding this thing together now.

 

[Phade]

wow the refs suck.. lets just award a flop anytime it happens whether there is contact or not.. this is ridiculous..

 

[Griffin]

We are not shooting the ball well. Stat 3-10. Overall, 10-25.

 

[Chaplin]

Our defense has been terrific. Average offensively, but I'll take a 10-point lead on the Spurs while not playing very smooth on offense ANY DAY.

 

[mojorizen7]

SUNS up 10. Look for Bowen to get involved in some extra-curricular activity at this point.

OMG is Diaw back? If he played like this all year we would be the undisputed favorite for the title.

Go Suns!

 

[YouJustGotSUNSD]

nevermind lazy diaw back on 3 consecutive plays.

Playing very well with Shaq a non-factor. Is this the reincarnation of 05/06 boris?

 

[HooverDam]

I know it won't happen, but Id like to see Skinner play these last 3 minutes. The Suns don't need more offense, but Skinner may be able to throw a different, more physical look at TD since Shaq can't stay on the court.

EDIT: Skinner comes in! (though its because of fouls )

 

[YouJustGotSUNSD]

Skinner in!

and Hill is our PF

 

[Griffin]

Skinner didn't look very good. O'Neal has to be able to stay on the floor in the second half.

 

[az1965]

Good half. Kind of let the momentum go their way in the end little bit.

Need to stay out of foul trouble.

Love our defensive effort.

Need more offensively from Stat, Nash, and Raja.

Shaq needs to play smartly and stay on the court.

 

[95pro]

the flop brothers are at it again. giflopli & flopberto.
refs please take note.

i cant help but notice TD talking to the refs on every posession.

he fouls STAT on the jumper, refs give TD a make up call when 3D picked up his 3rd.

 

[jbeecham]

Yeah the calls were horrible in the 1st qtr, got better in the 2nd, but still we're in a lot of foul trouble. The refs really did a number on Shaq, giving him 3 fouls in 4-5 minutes......just freakin ridiculous.

 

[Ciani]

I dont want to see Skinner any more in this series, he is terrible, a liabilty on both sides of the floor.

The 8 point lead is not bad, but the Spurs will be better in the second half (they cant be any worse than this), Amare has to play better, the Diaw magic wont last forever.

 

[sLapzsHaQ]

whoa! 8pt lead at the half even though we are playing awful..

 

[95pro]

whatever the other barry is, during the halftime-show hit he nail on the head...

i was telling my GF that, what the suns are doing is letting TD go off, but keeping everyone else in check.
