NBA Playoffs

[suit2please]

I just think a lot of the media and fans have forgotten its a team sport. And the last couple years Iverson didn't seem much of a team player, but I don't know the whole story.

Yes, good win from the Suns. Wonder if they can turn it into a good series. Not expecting too much from the Magic in game 4, but them taking 1 isn't that unrealistic.

 

[blankoblanco]

well at least the suns took a game so it's not all sweeps. it's a longshot but i'll be rooting for them

 

[rounder22]

Good win for the suns I wonder how much they will be using the zone the next game seeing it worked well tonight.

 

[PC69]

Get the brooms out tonight

 

[suit2please]

Hopefully PC. Can't wait for Game 4. Less than 2 hours to tip off.

 

[suit2please]

Not a good start.

 

[PC69]

not at all. early fouls 4 rondo

I doubt Phil Jackson will let the zone be successful in Game 2. He is way too good of a coach. That being said, I don't think it was the zone that completely beat the Lakers - Amare's aggressiveness was the #1 reason they won last night.

The defense still sucks, although playing zone lets them collapse on Bryant more. The play of Odom and Artest was terrible.

Phoenix's bench sucked even more: 3 for 21 from the field.

We're going to need to play a whole lot better tomorrow night to bring this thing even.

honestly why are the Celtics such big crybabys? seriously what a bunch of thugs...they cry over every call...throw more extra blows after plays than ive ever seen by a team..seriously stfu and just play ball..your winning the game and getting every call so stop F***ing crying like a bunch of suckas!

go JJ!!!! represent the dukies BABY!!!!!

hope the lakers dismantle the C's once they get to the finals...dam babys

 

[PC69]

sigh.. we dont call timeout there with 15 seconds left to try to win.. Who the **** wants to play OT? Sigh. Patty we not getting all the calls in this one bro.. That call late in the fourth just a bit ago to get Nelson to the line against Big Baby was terrible. Redick just walked and got called for it. BB after the game

 

[PC69]

back to back fadeaway threes from Nelson? My goodness. Draining buckets

lol definately getting the good majority of them ...again lol...but whatever...ive never seen so much crying from a team though...i knew wallace was one of the biggest...but man...their whole team is a bunch of suckas!!! LOOOL

cmon magic pull out one win at a time

 

[PC69]

wtf was that? Why you play so hard to choke with your timeout calls, fouling Superman when hes bricking at the line like hes building a house. Terrible time management and switches on the pick and roll in OT make me wanna throw up. Iam disgusted tbh. Iam goin to bed. 3-1 and I still think well win the series but Orlando can celebrate.. Sigh..

TBH I only like one crybaby action by the C's tonight. If KG dont get that Technical and then drain the knockdown 18 footer next up the court I dont think the C''s would have had a shot to win the game. That play and timeout pumped up the TDBank Garden and put the Celtics in position to win. Sure Rasheed bitched and got unnecessary calls. I dont disagree with some of what you said.

The Celtics lost because of poor time management, and not making necessary basic textbook NBA plays. WHY ARE WE NOT FOULING HOWARD EVERY TIME DOWN THE STRETCH WHEN HES UNDERNEATH THE BASKET? HE'S DWIGHT HOWARD GODDAMNIT. HE DONT HAVE TO JUMP REALLY TO DRAIN THE BALL. WRAP HIS ASS UP.. Seriously. Ugh.. I could puke at this end of game and OT performance. LADIES AND GENTLEMAN.. THIS IS COMING FROM A HOMER HIMSELF.

 

[blankoblanco]

woooooo we didn't get swept!

 

[PC69]

woooooo we played like men and deserved to win! Hopefull for C's fans the Celtics take there heads out of there ass or the Magic will beat the C's like the Flyers ****ed up the Bruins when they just had the 3-0 advantage. How do ya like that PC?

FYP.. Even a homer can admit defeat bubba. .

 

[PattyR]

lol i cant argue with ya on that...why did they not call a timeout and go for the game winning shot? instead they got no shot off LOL

 

[blankoblanco]

i will be so so happy if orlando can win game 5, to at least give me a sweat. it's a must-win home game, possibly the refs will even be on our side just to add drama (rigged obv), definitely seems winnable

then all the pressure would be on boston in game 6, if they don't win that we get game 7 in our place with all the momentum!

probably wishful thinking, especially since it still seems like the celtics are the better team. but it could happen..

 

[Rldetheflop]

well im glad the magic showed up for game 4 and give us at least one more game at the O'rena(I know its amway arena now but we lifers still call it the O'rena). Win our home game and put the pressure back on the C's.

 

[arahel_jazz]

Imagine for just a moment that the Suns win Game 4 tonight. Do you think the mainstream sports media will change their position about us?

Phil Jackson kinda shrugged off Game 3 as one quarter of bad effort... Kobe is making excuses about he could score 60 against us but chose to pass it off...

If the Suns show up tonight, and are as agressive as in Game 3, then it will be a good game. I don't think the Lakers want a Game 6. Bynum is already hurting badly, I think Kobe's knee is starting to get sore...


Bring on the Hockey masks! Let's rumble!

 

[arahel_jazz]

Shhhhh.... Suns up by 10 in 2nd quarter. Kobe has taken exactly 3 shots in the game so far.


EDIT: Oops... Kobe woke up with back-to-back 3's... thank God Channing Frye finally got going.

 

[PattyR]

good game so far...if the suns win...intersting...thought the lakers would be crushing them...but...still another half to go...i do like the suns as a team and if they made it to the finals it would be tight...i love the run n gun team like phoenix and denver...fun to watch.

 

[PattyR]

Suns are BLAZING HOTTT! dayumm

Suns are BLAZING HOTTT! dayumm

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH BABY!!!!!!!

I love the fact that Coach Gentry left the bench players in all the way up to three minutes left in the 4th. This is what we are used to seeing.

Game 5 is going to be a blast!

F-ing LA fans chanting "We want Celtics" may have to eat their words this weekend!

The bench came up nasty for the suns, honestly i thought the lakers would go on a tear after kobe hit like 79897 shots in a row....thankfully he cooled off and the suns caught fire...those back to back to back threes and that little point guards amazing reverse layup with the off hand was fantastic....i dont even care who wins the series....i just like high scoring fast paced games!!!
