Suns vs Lakers Nov.20

[CaptainInsano]

Looks like we are done guys. 5th seed and out in the first round, lucky to get to the 2nd.

04-05 season was a great year and I will remember it forever.

Sucks that we have to wait this year AND next before we can really move forward with a new plan.

 

[Griffin]

Pathetic game. We end up 1-3 vs. Rockets, Pistons, Jazz, Lakers this past few games. All three losses were by double digits.

 

[Kablansky]

Porter is an idiot for not playing Amundson when it could have counted. He's just as bad as D'antoni with rotations or worse.

You got it bro, Amundson would have went for 20 and 10

 

[Ninjafish]

piss poor suns, thanks for wasting my night.

The highlight of the night is going to be Inside the NBA's recap of the game.

 

[Andrew]

i'm going to pull an 'Andrew' when Nash leaves Phoenix for another team..

[Black Jesus]

nice sarcasm, but no he would of provided an active big body that is scappy and hustles, I am constantly impressed by what Amundson has to offer.

 

[CaptainInsano]

And let me also say that watching eddie house and rajon be so strong in boston really REALLY has a tendancy to piss me off at the management of this team the last couple years.

 

[Proteus]

Disgusting to hear "let's go Lakers" at a Suns home game.

[Kablansky]

There is always the Cardinals game on Sunday


Sorry

 

[Kablansky]

Look, if you think Amundson would have made a difference in this game, I'll gladly back up the truck load of kool-aid to your house and you can chug all night long

Worse in my opinion is Rudy Fernandez and SergioRodriguez in Portland...

Lets see our wasted 1st rounders over the year and players shipped away and then those brought in instead. Note this is starting the first years with Nash and Amare...

[Wonder]

I am for some reason not upset with this loss at all.

Radmonicivicisc went 5/5 on 3's.
Amare missed about 4 shots that he'd make on any other day of the week.
Suns couldn't make some open shots, Lakers could.
Barbosa, but that's little to no excuse.

It was a good game and real close until the later 3rd for the lack of effort the Suns brought.

I think the Lakers are better without Bynum on the floor against the Suns.

The lakers are a very good team, the Suns are a work in progress, but at this point the Lakers should be noticed as the 2nd best, if not the best team in the NBA with having a closer like Kobe.

SHOULD START DIAW
SHOULD USE DIAW IN LOW POST MORE.

 

[cobbler]

Shaq has 4 rings, Kobe 3.

I think I will do the counting when its all said and done... and Ill bet you ANY amount you want right now that Kobe ends up with more when that day arrives.

 

[dodie53]

my head hurts because of Black Jesus

 

[mojorizen7]

Ugh,ugh. The Lakers are the better team right now with a better bench & without an identity crisis. Where's the defensive discipline Porter?
Meh...its November. I won't panic unless we still look lost in space come the all-star break.

 

[dodie53]

start Diaw at the 3?
no.

post Diaw more?
yes, when shaq or amare is sitting on the bench

 

[cobbler]

maybe because without him you don't even sniff a title in the last 20 years, much less win 3 or win 4 conference titles or get to 5 conference championship series.

and hell, what about a WORKING employee who slanders the org and it's employees, you know, like KOBE DID. Any consistency there?

The working employee wanted to win and apologized for his STUPID comments then went out..,shut his mouth and became a MUCH better team player. Had he continued to act in the same manner as his 3 week meltdown... then i agree with you... ship his butt out too.

As for your other comment. How could you possibly know what they would have accomplished without Shaq. Who's to say they couldnt have used the cap space to get someone else that could have taken the team over the top? Can i borrow your cyrstal ball sometime?

 

[Kablansky]

start Diaw at the 3?
no.

post Diaw more?
yes, when shaq or amare is sitting on the bench

At what point do you want Amare and Shaq sitting on the bench? (notice my use of capitalization?) Both on the bench as to run the offense through Diaw?? Come on

 

[cobbler]

seems as though the Dragic experiment is over, especially with Singletary getting the meaningful minutes. Great scouting there Kerr. Hes a poor mans Udrich, if that.

I was impressed by singletary's play. Good pick up.

keep telling your looney self that

Weird comment Andrew, when Kobe has several years left (he's 30) with a stacked and young team that is one of the best 2 teams in the NBA. Assuming that Kobe won't get at least one more ring and maybe more is a big assumption. Anything can happen, but my guess is that when counting time comes, Kobe will have at least as many rings as Shaq, and if they are even then the arguments can fly. I won't care, because my FRANCHISE got another title to add to the collection while your PLAYER only has 4.

 

[Andrew]

Assuming Kobe WILL win another ring is predicting the future which is quite bias and unreliable.

Shaq has 4, Kobe has 3 RIGHT NOW and that is all you can measure than on. You can't add on rings that don't exist yet...because no one knows.
