Suns VS Lakers : Game 2

[jibikao]

Just cut it down to 5pt before 4Q.

I'm about to have a heart attack..
Lakers look a little fatigued, take full advantage!

 

[JS22]

Same old bullsh*t, really.

Marion is once again vanishing in the playoffs. (I'm sorry, but if he keeps going like this it's time to say GOODBYE.)

Diaw has suddenly reverted to his Atlanta days.

The suns can't defend to save their lives.

Seriously, there was a long rebound marion just seemed to let go by him, and on the kobe buzzer shot he gave him room when there was no time to drive.

I have never felt the type of anger towards a suns player than what I have towards shawn right now, and 80% of it isa result of all his bitching about how he never gets respect.

just an observation but Odom is a tough matchup for Shawn, I think he is just as fast and lanky and neutralizes Marion's one advantage as a player his quicks. Becuase honestly marion is only a great player because he is so quick around the basket on both ends.

 

[jibikao]

sigh... almost cut it down to 5pt.

The good news is, it's not completely hopeless. But will the Suns wake up mentally?

damnit - with a foul to give, why not FOUL HIM??!!!

argh

well, TT already had 4 fouls (or something like that)

 

[Cheesebeef]

this feels like a game Eddie House needs to get hot in

 

[jibikao]

I think this is very doable. The bad news is Nash hasn't rested yet in 2nd half.

 

[Treesquid PhD]

down by seven totally winnable I think Diaw needs to sit this one out his head is out of this one. But Kobe is totally a stopper of runs that is what has me most worried, he is fing good I hate his guts.

 

[jibikao]

I think Bell already has 3-4 fouls? He is our primary defender on Kobe. I didn't see who else was there.

What else can he do? House, this is your chance to prove why you deserve to be on this rooster. Shoot the lights out!

 

[Cheesebeef]

we still haven't had an Suns-explosion yet in these playoffs - let's hope the fourth quarter is it - lock down, play smart, take good shots!

This is where Kobe scares the beejezus out of me - ain't no way he's going 3 for 11 again.

James Jones was out there - it's really a coaching move - one we never seem to do, but good defensive teams always do - not ripping on DA - I love the guy - but that always frustrates me,.

 

[Cheesebeef]

how many times is Marion going to be on the rotation giving up a 3?

 

[Cheesebeef]

this game is over

 

[arthurracoon]

cmon guys!!!

argh

 

[jibikao]

OK... Marion has almost no post up move and his 3pt is inconsistent at best. The defender really knows how to guard him. Just give him space.

When Marion gets blocked out by a good defender, his game vanishes quickly. I don't think it's fair for him to guard Lamar but we have no choice. What about Diaw? Haven't seen Diaw on Lamar much.

 

[jibikao]

This 8pt deficit seems forever. We don't have that extra push.

 

[AZZenny]

GAWWWDDD This is so FRUSTRATING!!

 

[Cheesebeef]

wow - Marion's so useless, he's not even in the game.

 

[jibikao]

We are done. That Barbs' open 3pt may have given us a chance. We are not making any stops.

 

[arthurracoon]

*sigh*

we need a miracle
