Suns VS Lakers : Game 2

[jibikao]

Our ice cold first half killed us.

 

[baltimorer]

Remember when we had that discussion about how Knicks/New York fans would probably think that Lamar Odom was better than Shawn Marion, and then we found out that New York fans actually do not think this?

Well, it looks like New York fans are idiots, and the media just isn't doing a good enough job of covering the Lakers. Lamar Odom can create his own shot, Marion can't; Odom can make his own shot after he creates it; Marion cannot; Odom is a decent basketball player in his own right; Marion is the person that Steve Nash can pass to when the other team doesn't play defense.

way to get to that loose ball Soft...

 

[SirStefan32]

********!!!!!!!!!! That was a freaking charge

 

[just do it]

Its official, Marion is not built for the playoffs, and Barbosa can hit the road with his offense killing bad shots. Barbosa has 1 good game out of 5 and evryone wants to call him the 2nd coming. I would trade him and a 1st in a second for Ridnour if it could be done.

 

[O]

********!!!!!!!!!! That was a freaking charge

We finally agree on something.

 

[jibikao]

Sometimes I feel Nash's defense "mind" isn't that bad. He was courageous enough to stand in front of Kobe. It was a close call. Too bad the loss ball got to Lamar.

 

[jibikao]

Now, we need stops.

 

[Cheesebeef]

********!!!!!!!!!! That was a freaking charge

no way dude - Nash just got sh*t on - it happens. To call a charge there would have been ridiculous.

 

[hsandhu]

Terrible call on the charge, but if we lose, it is more than one play.

 

[Cheesebeef]

shawn Marion freaking sucks - period - period.

 

[jibikao]

That's Tim Thomas confession for you. Now we don't get any questionable calls in clutch time because we played "dirty" and got away with it. Good job.

 

[hsandhu]

I said more than one play cost us the game. Kwame running over raja may have been that play.

 

[SirStefan32]

Save for Nash, Bell and Thomas, nobody is even trying.

 

[Cheesebeef]

I'll say it once, I'll say it again - no NBA team will EVER win a title with Shawn Marion as a key member of it.

In the playoffs the guy is as soft as the tissue paper I used for my colonscopy prep last night and worth just as much (in the playoffs, that is)>

 

[just do it]

The next time Marion ******* about no respect, he needs to check him self and look at this game and the SA series last year, dude forces bad shots instead of using his leaping ability to get better shots.

 

[Cheesebeef]

ugh - why do I feel like we're going out in 6 games in this series? We have played like crap, Marion AIN'T gonna show up and the Lakers have pretty much controlled both games, save the first quarter of game one and Kobe hasn't even gone Kobe on us.

If we don't win on Friday, we could be done in 5.

 

[just do it]

To top it off ******** Sarver brings helmet head Lute from Rat U. to the game! Was Lute brought in to show Sarver how to lose to lower seeded teams?

 

[jibikao]

We'll beat them at their court!

 

[HooverDam]

Man, why are the refs letting things get so damned physical? I was watching this game all night at a sports bar in St Louis, and you know the refs are bad when neutral fans w/ no bias are freaking out at the calls.

A few of the bad ones were:

Raja getting run over at the end
Nash was CHARGED by Bryant on that dunk
There were two plays early where Walton was cutting to the basket and no more than breathed on by a Suns player and he was "fouled".

These are just off the top of my head. Now Im not one to ever blame the refs,the Suns played like ass. But ********, that officiating was so damn lose.

 

[arthurracoon]

wow...this is not gonna be a fun series.

I say were tied at 2 come game 5.

 

[jibikao]

Bell and Nash showed up today. Diaw did better in 2nd half.

The rest are.....

What was Barbosa doing? 0-5? Missed two wide open 3pt. If he can't bring offense, i don't know what else he can do.

House was... non-factor.

Tim Thomas had some moments.

come on man - don't go Laker fan on us and bitch about the refs. We got beat plain and simple today, just like the Lakers got beat (even though we had 35 FTs, which is DOUBLE what we usually have and that brutal no-call against TT).

And when a player dunks on your head and rises over and jams on your face, it ain't a charge - come on.

 

[mribnik]

The Lakers played a great game, gotta give them that.

I think the Suns will be fired up for game 3 and come out with a win. I can't see us losing 2 in a row to the Lakers. I think this Series will play out like the series against the Mavericks last year.

Go Suns!

Hopefully they'll take their heads out of their asses for the first half of the next game.

Oh, and I didn't like the officiating in the first half against either team. A lot of ticky tack fouls should have been no-calls IMO, especially in the playoffs. I think we had like 3 straight possessions with an offensive foul. Luke Walton had 4 early fouls for crying out loud.
