NBA discussion thread

whooo....so pumped the suns tied the series, this has been the best and most fun series to watch so far, they just need one more game to win, as long as they keep pace of the tempo and stick to there strengths they will be fine, and i don't know what the lakers were thinking last night going away from there gameplan, you can blame the refs all you want, but the aren't the ones that forgot to rebound with 16 seconds left in the game, plus Kobe had the last shot, even tho he was doubled really well, my stomach dropped when he let it go....game 7 should be tight

damn, i felt bad for gilbert arenas missing those free thows that cost washington the game....i like his game.....looks like the cavs are next up on pistons hitlist gunsmilie

nets r playing @miami on monday...cant wait!

The nets have such a good record against Miami. I can see them easily taking this series.

it all depends on shaq. shaq can have his way with kristic... but if kristic can play away from the basket on offense and keep shaq out the paint then i would say the nets have at least a 45% chance of edging this series. unless of course wade explodes.

then its bye bye nets.

well...if vince explodes, then its bye bye heat. like he has done in every game against miami, losing only one game on a no call on defensive foul on vince carter during a drive to the basket. vince scored 32 in the first meeting, 31 in the second, 51 in the third, and 31 to go along with a triple double in the fourth meeting. vince is also getting it done at the defensive end in the playoffs, as he is 2nd in steals to larry hughes but totalling more steals. vince is averaging just under 30ppg, and is shooting a good percentage from the field at 47.8%. krstic's jumpshot has become automatic in the playoffs, j-kidd has been dropping dimes like crazy at 10apg..1rst in the playoffs, and rj has been getting it done on the offensive end.

It's half-time!!!

Wow, another basketball fan from New Zealand?

Hmm....suspecting Koolz is up to his old tricks again 😉

Getting back to the Lakers-Suns game, what I don't understand is how all of a sudden Barbosa became such a problem. It's as if he had never played in this series before or like the Lakers had never seen him or his game.

Phoenix destroyed!

The Suns fans practically blew the roof off the US Airways Arena!

Props to the Suns for fighting their way back from the brink of elimination. I think the last game emotionally drained most of the Lakers not named Kobe and they never showed any of the passion and intensity you need to win a game 7 on the road.
Like i said before im really proud of what we accomplished this season and with a few minor moves and another years experience for some of our young guys i think we can go further next year.
The Clippers will be an even tougher matchup for the Suns but not an impossible one. Brand will give them fits inside (he is a much tougher cover than Kwame) and they have a backcourt that spaces the floor well with their 3pt shooting. Im picking this one to go to 6 with the Clippers taking it, they have alot more experience than the Lakers which will be crucial when winning on the road.

F*CK THE SUNS

that is all.

koolz keep ya head up!!! we be back next year!!!

..................#8 fo' life..................

OK

this is how we should do it next year...

kobe gotta be hungry for that MVP... prove the F'n haters wrong!!! when i see my dudes on the court they gotta be on top shape, no more smiling, no more shaking hands NO MORE ****ING JOKES!!!! niggas gotta be vicious like animals on the court. every foul should be a F*CKING playoff foul! LAMAR needs to average 15+ pts. and 10+ boards whole season!!! Kwame needs to step HIS GAME UP!!! Kareem better get bynum ready by next year!!! JACK NICHOLSON BETTER GET INVOLVE IN THE GAME!!!!!

IM DEAD SERIOUS!!! NO MORE SMILES!!! NO MORE FUN!!! JUST GET IN THERE... DO YOUR BIZ!!!

F8CK THE SUNS

😆 Dont be pissed P, we had a great run. If you come out in a game 7 on the road with that lack of energy and focus you can expect to be blown out (especially against a high powered offensive team like the Suns).

We'll improve next year for sure, another year playing the triangle and building a cohesive team. We can make some upgrades but we are still over the cap until Brain Grants contract comes off year after next. Then we can add a free agent or two and think about adding to those 14 banners.

im cool now... (f'n up in smoke 😉)

but it is what it is. lamar and kwame = steppin up they game = BIG PROBLEM FOR THE LEAGUE. i put my dollars on that.

i just feel sad for kob'... suns fans did him dirty.

for the last time...

F*CK THE SUNS

Nope, but there are two teams from the west that I love. The Suns(since the days of Prince Charles) and the Mavericks. Ironically, Jason Kidd was on both at some point, and now he's on my favorite East team.

I hate the Lakers and the Spurs with a ****ing passion. They need to go away.

Suns v Mavs conference finals! New Jersey v Detroit Conference final!

Then it's Suns all the way

yea, not of of the lakers either, but my hatred goes way back from the late 80s when hte rivaled detriot in the finals...where the hell was kobe in the 2nd half, its almost like he just gave up.....why don't people understand that the regular season and postseason are two entirely different seasons, the nets and heat should be a good series...if the nets want to win that one they'rere gonna have to run the ball, but i'm sure miami is gonna counter that with a half court tempo so this is gonna be intersting to watch, i'm rooting for the heat, and i personally they are gonna win, but when it comes down to it, it really does't effect me because neither of them are detriot, and cleveland will be fortunate if they can push the pistons to 6
