They look soft, but they keep bouncing right back up.

I have to say I really thought we lost the game. It was sooooooooo painful to see how we couldn't close out in the 4th Q. It was already painful to see how we lost that 19pt but I guess we are all USED TO IT. 19pt lead really means nothing to this team. The only thing that matters is to out score again, and again and again.

I hope Nash can find his shot back in game 6. Marion deserves a lot of rest. I know Clipper will do everything they can to win game 6 but they are just equally as tired.

I like Doug Collins' idea -- just forfeit Game 6 and take a week of rest to play Game 7. I figure the Suns are going to mail in Game 6 and get beat by 30.

^god I hope not. They need to show some killer instinct and finish it while they can. That way they can get some rest. I just hope SA somehow pushes Dallas to 7 games (with Dallas advancing), so the Suns can get some rest.

Game 6 is a critical game for our bench players to get back in shape. House and James Jones need to find their shots and so is Nash. We can give away that game and rest 3 days but we have to keep shooting and find our shots back. We were lucky that Raja and TT are on fire so far. Imagine if one of them couldn't hit? Look at game 4.

I don't know how Nash just LOST it like that. He is one of the better shooters in this league. It still remains mystery to me. Some of his layups look like it took a lot more energy/pain than just a simple jumpshot. How many times did Nash fall down after a layup and a pass in the air? They seem to take a lot more energy than a simple jumpshot if you know what I mean. I think Nash just totally lost his confidence in shooting and it's obvious. I thought Nash would bring it back tonight since he's been cold for 2 games already. He is COLDER tonight. He at least made a crucial jumpshot in game 3 to steal a home game. If I remember correctly, Nash did not make any outside shot tonight and it's beyond believable.

Nash says his body's not responding because he's tired. I was convinced it was his back, but Nash just says his legs are tired. That would kill a jumpshot. Even still, he would've won at least one game of horse tonight with the circus shots he was putting up around the rim.

Well, I have to say Nash did go inside pretty well and finish those crafty layups. He can still penetrate defense at will and create open shots. The only thing is we have no Amare and we need Nash's offense a lot more.

In overtime, Clipper basically gave Nash the space at top 'cause he was just so darn cold. Nash wouldn't even shoot.

Man, I keep forgetting that this team still has Amare to come back.

If we make the Conference Finals, this season will be an A++.

The gameplan that we have instituted is just so effective. With Amare back to draw a doubleteam over and over, I reckon we'd hit 80 wins next year.

And then there's Kurt Thomas....

I can't stop smiling
