Suns vs. Lakers Thread 11-12-09

Typical we shouldn't expect to get any calls in LA against the mighty Lakers! Nice scheduling for them to have a nice 3 days off to prep up for us and we get a back to back, funny how that works. If we can just be within about 10 at the end its kinda like a win when you figure we surely will get screwed out of more points than that.

Sasha would never have gotten the T in the first place if Kobe hadn't walked up on JRich trying to instigate a confrontation.

Every season they get this favorable schedule. even when they sucked

Donald, Kobe should have been T'd up way before Sasha got involved. Confrontation is over way before Sasha gets involved.

It was BS all around. Kobe should not be complaining.

Agree to Disagree - there should have been no T's. There was no confrontation, except in Sasha's mind. If he hadn't ran in there, Kobe would have shot his free throws and all would have went along like usual.

 

[TJ]

Jesus, Kobe. Your not in the NFL

And JRich didn't do anything to create a confrontation, so Kobe had already stopped posturing. Moot point, because Sasha dorked out and caused mini-mayhem. Whatever, in the past. Enjoy the game.

As much as I dislike Sasha, I didn't think what he did deserved a technical either. But if the refs were going to give them out, I thought Kobe deserved one for starting the whole thing.

Jesus, Kobe. Your not in the NFL

He's been watching LeBron tape.

 

[TJ]

Are you kidding me?!?!?!

 

[Proteus]

Great job Nash...fouling on a made 3. Stay on your freaking man Nash...geez.

 

[Proteus]

Geez...giving an offensive rebound and a dunk after a missed free throw.

 

[NoelPHX]

Games over Bedtime. Cant watch this lack of hustle.

 

[TJ]

Suns are playing with little effort. Giving up 5 points on one possession kind of sums it up

 

[jagu]

Amare shooting 2 of 15 is not going to win you many ball games.

 

[Hayduke]

Are they really that much better than us? It just looks like a bad night turned terrible to me.

 

[Chaplin]

Well, if we were going to have a game that we completely stunk it up, it's better it be this game than against a team like Oklahoma City where a complete collapse would be a lot worse.

Lakers are pretty strong, even without Pau. Too bad Kerr thinks that Robin freaking Lopez will actually help.

 

[nashman]

Gentry should just put in the bench and tell them to play rough as hell who cares what the final score is! You want to play rough and elbow and push our guys around we will hurt one of yours! I am tired of the BS refs letting teams get away with MURDER then when Nash flys by Fisher its a foul what a crock of **** and the NBA wonders why people think its fixed....geee I don't know!

 

[Proteus]

Suns down 55-73 with 6:43 left in the 3rd quarter.

 

[nashman]

wow are we going to get ANY calls tonight seriously? I mean how much freaking contact constitutes a foul against the mighty Lakers?

 

[Proteus]

This is so freaking ridiculous.

 

[Hayduke]

Game off for me. Its just getting too ugly. Nash throwing away passes. Lakers just grabbing the ball outa the air. No thank you.

 

[nashman]

down by 23 why is Nash even in there clearly we are not going to get any calls why even risk him getting injured in this crap ass game! Put in the bench Alvin all of them!

 

[Proteus]

Suns down 62-85 with 3:10 left in the 3rd quarter. Suns shooting 36%, Lakers 57%.

At least Nash is resting now.

 

[TJ]

There are a myriad of reasons why we are losing

• Lifeless play by the Suns. The road trip and the back to back are catching up with this team. A three day rest is absolutely needed for this team
• Lakers playing with tons of energy and focus. Seems like they are angry that the Suns are threatening their place in the West
• Officiating is undoubtedly terrible and lopsided. The times that the Suns are physical in the paint and are getting man handled, no calls. Suns sneeze on a shooter, foul.

 

[Wonder]

Good night to stink it up. Obviously Lakers are a better team until proven otherwise. Suns didn't show up, best for it to be in this game. Remember, they're 8-2, been playing on the road, back-to-backs. I really like what this team is doing so far in the season, they should attain a high seeding in the western conference. Anything can happen throughout the season.

Only thing that surprised me tonight was amare's and jrich's shooting. Half of their shots were so easy to make and they just crapped it up for tonight.
