God, at this point I would be shocked if the suns win 1 game in the series.

Wrong!

Suns showed a lot of heart tonight. Hope the Heat come to play as well, Shaq had a tendency to give up before kobe.

 

[TheDuce22]

wow... that is just a weird outlook on things

The Spurs can get ANYTHING they want at any time. Oh and Bill Walton must die. He is one of the worst broadcasters in all of sports.

 

[Blackace]

The Spurs can get ANYTHING they want at any time.

hmmm well they must want to be down by 1 at halftime..

 

[Blackace]

Damn, that was awkward.

Jim Gray asked Steve Nash how little guys like him, Genobli, and Parker were dominating. After an uncomfortable pause, Nash replied "I don't know. I guess we've got a lot of heart" :lol

He sounded generally annoyed at the question, and it's a stupid question to ask.

If one person in the world needs to be fired it is him! He is really bad at his job...really bad.. and players don't want to talk to him...

 

[TheDuce22]

hmmm well they must want to be down by 1 at halftime..

Im a Suns fan but I get the feeling they (spurs) will close out this game just like they did the last. Phoenix is still not playing defense.

 

[Pimpwerx]

Spurs > Suns. That's just the way it is. Nash MVP over Shaq? HA! Vindication, bitches. PEACE.

you are a suns fan and you're just seeing that they play no D? I think the Suns have a shot in this game for sure to win..

 

[Loki]

Wow, that 4th foul on Duncan is huge-- he'll be out until at least the 2:00 mark of the third quarter. He's their anchor; I don't see how they can stop the Suns' athleticism in the paint without him in there.

 

[TheDuce22]

Yes, the Suns played better defense than this in the previous 2 series. Spurs have been getting uncontested layups and wide open 3's waaay to often. Its hard to keep up with a team thats as good defensively as the spurs are when you are giving them layup after layup.

Wish the mods had banned someone else...

Your schtick is beyond old.

 

[Blackace]

New Conspiracy Theory?

Milwaukee and Portland don't scream "NBA FIX", however, one is owned by a senator, and the other has ties to microsoft and nike. Hmm.

Come on! Now Paul has enough money to buy his way there, but really the NBA is all about big money making teams. Not helping out Senators...

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Your schtick is beyond old.

c'mon, bionic, you have to excuse the guy for getting excited. Up until 6 months ago, he didn't even know Miami had a basketball team.

 

[Loki]

Wow, Stoudemire is AMAZING at absorbing contact and finishing inside.


SA coming unglued. Nice footwork by Stoudemire on the face-up of Horry at the foul line.

 

[Desperado]

was that really a charge? the replay angle blew

 

[Pimpwerx]

Wish the mods had banned someone else...

Your schtick is beyond old.

They can ban me all they want. Life exists outside GAF. But wtf is your dealy now? Like your Jordan-bashing shtick is any better. Get a grip, buddy. Enjoy the NBA draft selection. Heat > *. PEACE.

EDIT: "c'mon, bionic, you have to excuse the guy for getting excited. Up until 6 months ago, he didn't even know Miami had a basketball team."

I love it. The losers gang up on the winner. If it makes you feel better, you can claim that a former-Laker won a ring this year. Live vicariously through the Heat.

In any case, I stand by my claim that Nash ain't a worthy MVP. When the Suns are watching the Heat lift the trophy over the Spurs, I'll have my vindication. That or I'll have a soft cry and move on to football season. And you know I was in the playoff thread last year with my Heat avatar, so don't even get on that bandwagon bullshit. Laker fans are the ultimate in wagon riders.

 

[Desperado]

i wish i knew what constitutes as a foul in the refs' minds...it's been so inconsistent this season...

duncan and ginobli had to have been fouled at least once in the last 2 mins or so of the quarter..

 

[Loki]

Duncan is singlehandedly keeping them in this game; his greatness is evident.


And Nash just broke the record held jointly by Jordan and Oscar Robertson of most consecutive playoff games with 25+ points and 10+ assists (3 games). He had tied the streak coming into tonight's game, and he has 26/13 as of now. Crazy.


EDIT: Whoops, guess I spoke too soon. He has 24 points right now, but he'll likely score at least 1 more before the end of the game.

 

[AirBrian]

Winner? The Heat haven't won shit yet.

Duncan is just a beast. He and TP are keeping them in the game. Speaking of TP, he's playing some really good D against Nash.

 

[Loki]

Duncan is incredible. They should go to him EVERY time down the court.

 

[AirBrian]

Amare lost it. :lol He's lucky he only got a technical.

 

[Desperado]

TD's getting smacked everytime he gets the ball in the paint...then he goes up, takes the shot, gets contact...no fouls...i dunno.

finally

 

[Desperado]

@ nash

 

[Loki]

I wonder where all the people who said that there was "no way Nash does this against the Spurs" are now? :lol


Really a remarkable stretch of games he's had, regardless of the fast-paced system he's playing in or how good a group of finishers/scorers he has alongside him. Historic numbers.

 

[bionic77]

I repeat, Nash > *

 

[Loki]

HOLY SHIT @ Ginobili !!! :O

MANU is BIG!

 

[AirBrian]

Ginobili's drive was really pretty, but how was that not a travel? :lol

 

[Desperado]

Walton is a fucking idiot. TD is the fucking lead player for SA not Manu...moron.

 

[Loki]

Ginobili's drive was really pretty, but how was that not a travel? :lol

It's the extra Euro-step.

 

[Cubsfan23]

what a dumbass foul, phoenix is the new Sacramento.

 

[Mrbob]

Suns play stupid. Nice foul.... :lol

 

[TheDuce22]

What a surprise. Suns cant get a stop down the stetch. How the hell are they gonna win a game? Someone tell me.

 

[Loki]

Duncan is god. Also, regardless of who wins, this series is TOTALLY living up to its billing.


Luckily for Phoenix, QRich made that basket, or else all hope would have been lost.

 

[Loki]

This is big-- Horry is a liability at the line in the clutch.


EDIT: Speak of the devil. :lol

Fortunately, he made one.

 

[AirBrian]

Watch Nash hit a 3 and get fouled...

EDIT: Wow, Nash got away with one. :lol

 

[Loki]

Wow, Suns lucked out, since that should have been a technical + possession.

 

[Loki]

Man...that sucked for Manu. : /


SA lucked out big time-- they should have fouled Nash.

 

[AirBrian]

I'm not for calling a series after 2 games, but the Suns are in some serious trouble.

 

[Matlock]

ding dong the suns are dead
the suns are dead
the suns are dead

WHERE IS YOUR GOD NOW, ASTROLAD.

WHERE?!

 

[Mike Works]

I love it. The losers gang up on the winner.

Miami lost!

 

[isamu]

Wow. What a shame the MVP is on a team that will get swept by the Texans

 

[Ninja Scooter]

It's the extra Jordan-step.

 

[BatiGOOOOOOL]

So Loki, do you still think the Spurs can't keep up this scoring pace for a few more games? ;-)

Manu and Horry, I love you! The missed FTs are forgiven. TD and TP fantastic. Bruce's defense, the cream of the crop.

 

[AirBrian]

"...but Jordan needed that extra step. His penis is this much longer than mine."

 

[TheDuce22]

They are just exeucting, its not a case of them shooting the lights out. Suns are giving up layups and freethows and its a total f'n joke. Nobody wants to see the boring ass spurs in the finals again.

 

[Desperado]

i do.

 

[BatiGOOOOOOL]

:lol

If you believe that what the Spurs did tonight was boring I don't know how can you call yourself a basketball fan. That was some AAA execution in the 4th.

 

[Loki]

So Loki, do you still think the Spurs can't keep up this scoring pace for a few more games? ;-)

Well, I didn't expect other players besides Duncan to have such huge games-- in game one, it was Horry, Parker, and Barry; tonight it was Manu and Parker along with Duncan. I guess I overestimated the Suns' defense. They gave up about 4 layups in the last 4:00 alone. Porous.


I figured that Marion would take Ginobili out of the series pretty much-- I was mistaken.

 

[Incognito]

Fucking Suns are worthless. Play some 4th quarter defense -- PLEASE! In other news, Loki's still batting 1000% when it comes to being completely wrong on predictions.

:lol

How do you figure? I was completely correct on all counts except for Houston beating Dallas. I never said that the Suns would beat the Spurs, though I thought they'd make it a bit more competitive.

 

[TheDuce22]

Marion has been HORRIBLE. After all that bitching he did because he wasnt on the nba all defense team he sure is being eaten alive by a bunch of white guys. First Dirk now Manu.
