***OFFICIAL*** Suns vs. Spurs game 1 thread

[Goran Dragic]

Hopefully it's a great game. I've said that the winner of this game will almost def. win the series. If anyone wants some hilariously terrible journalism, this article got a few laughs out of me:

[in2deep]

IMO Suns will win big tonight. All the Sun fans and NBA fans will immediately hop on the Suns empty bandwagon and the real series will finally start.

Whoever wins game 2 will most likely win the series.

[Cry Havoc]

Whoever wins game 2 will most likely win the series.

If the Spurs win either game @ Phoenix, they probably win the series. The Suns CANNOT let their confidence be dropped from an early loss at home. They have to take both.

[MadDog73]

Hopefully it's a great game. I've said that the winner of this game will almost def. win the series.

Nope.

Spurs can win game 1, 2 or 5 and hold serve on homecourt to win series.

[Goran Dragic]

Yes they can. The Suns also have the ability to steal a game in SA. I'm saying that greater likelihood is that whichever team strikes blood first wins.

[Giuseppe]

Duncan, have they even sold it out yet? They've been trying to give tickets away for days.

You all know how I stand. I want the Spurs to administer an ass pounding the likes which haven't been recorded since Kobe made Katelyn bend over that chair.

Savvy?

You gonna buy us some tickets or what scro?

[kamikazi_player]

I think the Suns will win tonight game. I actually predicted that the Suns are going to win this series in 6 games. I just think this Suns team has a better chance at dethroning the Spurs this year than years past. However, I'll keep cheering for my boys in silver and black and hope they prove me wrong.:flag::flag::flag::flag:

[Giuseppe]

You gonna buy us some tickets or what scro?

No, I'm hidin' under Swordsman's bed tonite during the game. Were going to play Parchessi and peek at his sister when she goes to the bathroom.

[Giuseppe]

Based on what hypothesis, Duncan? Don't just blurt out something like that without some reasoning. It's ignorant, + it scares me.

[monosylab2k]

Suns in 5

Idk Cubby I'm in Tucson. I woulda bought tickets to drive up for the game but I've got a final tomorrow that I've been studying for all day while posting.

If the game is not sold out, that's embarrassing. People rallied around the fuckin Coyotes for making the playoffs and losing in the first round, I figured those same bandwagoning assholes would be jumping on with the Suns right now.

[Greg Oden]

Have fun with that scrah. Even tho his sister is a fucking behemoth.

Well, they stole game 4 in San Antonio in 2007.

In 2008 they obviously had the ability to steal game 1 in SA, I'll be more than happy if tonight's game comes down to whether or not Duncan can make a three.

The one thing I will say is that Phoenix has a lot of players this year who play well at home and then suck on the road (Frye, Hill, Dudley).

[DarrinS]

Remember this? Marbury's buzzer beater to steal game 1?

eBS9hH9c4_s


LOL. Spurs still won in 6.

[Giuseppe]

& didn't Amare hit a three in that game, Darrin?

[picc84]

If it does, I would be willing to bet money he would hit the 3.

[Muser]

Get the broom out! :P

[Goran Dragic]

eBS9hH9c4_s


LOL. Spurs still won in 6.


Comparing the 2003 Stephon Marbury Suns to this current Suns team is dumber than most of the things you post in the political forum, and that's saying a lot. The Starbury Suns were barely a playoff team.

[Goran Dragic]

& didn't Amare hit a three in that game, Darrin?


Yup, he banked it in to force OT :lol

Still, that comparison is retarded. The Spurs won the championship that year, the Suns were a 44 win team that had the triple headed monster of Jake Tsakalidis, Jake Voskul and Scott Williams playing center.

[jag]

I like all the suns fans here (except for da_suns_fan), so it's hard to do anything but talk basketball. I wish you all good health, and may your team lose in embarrassing fashion.

As far as tonight is concerned, i think the Spurs can drop this one and still win the series (it'd be much tougher though). I think the suns pretty much have to take this game if they want to win the series. It'd be too much of a mental rape job if they drop the opening game...at home.

[SpursDynasty]

The Spurs are the favorites in this series.

[DPG21920]

It seems like people have not been paying attention to the Suns. They have been playing the best ball in the NBA over the last month going into the playoffs. Then in the playoffs, they rip 2 wins off in Portland. That is incredibly difficult to do, even if they have injuries.

Their defense has improved and they shot lights out from three point land. This is not your average Suns team.

[DPG21920]

Having said that, I really hope Goran Tragic shows up and not Dragic.

This is one of the reasons why I believe they will beat the Spurs. This team doesn't look like the Suns teams that got eliminated by the Spurs a few times in the past decade. Their defense has improved and it's scary when you still have one of the most high powered offenses in the league. This won't be easy as some other people think it is for the Spurs.

[Giuseppe]

I've never seen and heard such defeatist attitude and talk from you Spurs fellows.

It's quite alarming.

[Muser]

It's quite alarming.

I predicted Spurs win in 4, if that's any help? :downspin:

[DPG21920]

It's not defeatist. It is being realistic about the problem areas. That does not mean the Spurs can't/won't win.

[TampaDude]

LWWWLW...Spurs in 6.

[redzero]

Rasheed can... hit 3's?

[TampaDude]

Rasheed can... hit 3's?

Yup...if you watched much Pistons basketball, you'd know that Sheed is a pretty damn good 3-point shooter for a big.

[j.dizzle]

If phx role players hit their shots then I think PHX will win by 10+ at home today...You aready know what ur gonna get from Nash & Amare for the most part..J.Rich has been goin ape shit lately too so we'll see if that continues.

[BlackSwordsMan]

I cleaned under my bed I hope cubby likes it

[Mavs_man_41]

sOns do not have a chance

[Jeremy]

LWWWLW...Spurs in 6.

You really think the Spurs can win three in a row for the second straight series? I think if the Suns win Game 1, they're in great shape--no worse than 2-2 heading into Game 5. I just don't see the Spurs beating them 3 games in a row if the Suns win Game 1.

We lost home court in Game 1 in 2007 and still were able to tie the series at 2 heading into Game 5.

[mojorizen7]

JRich is the X-factor for the SUNS imo. Can he score when Amare gets mentally bludgeoned in the paint and Nash shrinks on the perimeter? JRich needs to continue to play like a front-runner instead of an anti-clutch non-factor.
Relying on Hill or Duds to score is a mistake because those two are going to have be monumental on defense.

I agree with the poster who said that the SUNS need to take the first two gms at home.
It'll be interesting to see how the SPURS defend Amare initially.

I picked the SPURS in 7 games....but i'm picking the SUNS to win big tonight.
Who's Nash gonna guard? LMAO

[TampaDude]

We'll see what happens...

[TampaDude]

LOL @ TNT showing the Nash face in the logo... :lol

[pauls931]

Oh God, collins starting. He's foulin' out in the 1st period. Can't believe I'm missing Lopez.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Thanks TNT for that quick run down on what happened in the Suns Spurs series in 2007 and 2008. I needed a reminder :tu


In all seriousness, I've got no idea how this is going to turn out. Never been so excited and nervous about a game I'm watching.

[TampaDude]

Dice 0 for 2 so far...

[TampaDude]

Feed Timmy!!!

[Daddy_Of_All_Trolls]

This is going to be a fun series. I can't figure out who will win and I like both teams.

[Fpoonsie]

Hmmm...so far, Spurs look like mierda. Good sign.

[sigh]

[pauls931]

apparently the spurs plan is to let nash score 60.

[TampaDude]

Nash is tearing it up early on.

[DAF86]

Nash abusing Hill.

[hitmanyr2k]

Nash is beating Hill like a dirty rug. Where's the help?

[pauls931]

Are the spurs saving parker for Dragic?

[Capt Bringdown]

Hill can't guard Nash.
First move to the Suns, let's see if Pop can adjust.

[Red Hawk #21]

This should be a fun series. Nash schooling Hill right now.

[Goran Dragic]

Well the hip doesn't look like a huge problem early on :lol

[resistanze]

The 'Hip Game'

[TampaDude]

The 'Hip Game'

Actually, I think the "Hip Game" was Game 4 of the 2007 WCSF... :lol

[pauls931]

God Collins sucks.

[Fpoonsie]

Fuuuuuck.

[Goran Dragic]

God Collins sucks.


truth.

[picc84]

Nash does not want to lose to SA again.

[Fpoonsie]

PHO looks scary good right now.

[TampaDude]

Nash is balling!!!

[badfish22]

[j.dizzle]

This aint the Allas MAvericks, you gotta actually score points to keep up with Phx. PHX >>>>Dallas IMO

[Greg Oden]

That's fucked up the ref wouldn't help Nash up.

[Greg Oden]

This aint the Allas MAvericks, you gotta actually score points to keep up with Phx. PHX >>>>Dallas IMO

You're such a great poster! What would Spurstalk do without you?

[lil_penny]

This aint the Allas MAvericks, you gotta actually score points to keep up with Phx. PHX >>>>Dallas IMO

[Greg Oden]

Allas MAvericks

Allas :lmao :lmao :lmao

sup 2003. Do you have spinners on your car too?

[Goran Dragic]

Fuck. I was hoping Amare would go that quarter without picking up a foul.

[picc84]

Suns D looks impressive, but I doubt it lasts.

[pauls931]

That was dumb hill

[j.dizzle]

Allas :lmao :lmao :lmao

sup 2003. Do you have spinners on your car too?
I actually drive a new E550. Cool story though bro.

[Goran Dragic]

For someone who's supposed to have a high bball IQ Grant Hill does a lot of retarded shit.

[hitmanyr2k]

Duncan is alligator-arming his shots. Dude needs to take his time.

[pauls931]

Ginobilli looks like the only one able to create for the spurs right now. Waiting for parker to pick it up.

[Fpoonsie]

Oh, awesome. Matt "Where good shots go to die" Bonner is in the game...

[Greg Oden]

I actually drive a new E550.



Cool story though bro.

Were you replying to yourself, faggot?

[Bob Lanier]

lol glass hill

[DAF86]

Who was the genius that said that Manu was an awful defender?

[j.dizzle]

Were you replying to yourself, faggot?
:toast

[Bob Lanier]

:lol It's like watching Shaq in his prime out there against these midgets.

[portpower_11]

Spurs keep missing FTs

[Killakobe81]

Bonner on amare ...

Come, on Pop I have been defending you all night!

[pauls931]

So far only Ginobili is hurtin' the suns

[Fpoonsie]

This is definitely a much improved Suns team...

...fuck.

[TampaDude]

Spurs are struggling early...can the Suns take advantage and stretch the lead???

[Fpoonsie]

Spurs are struggling early...can the Suns take advantage and stretch the lead???

...prolly.

[j.dizzle]

LOL Mavs score 8 points in a quarter, PHX scores 8 points in like 20 seconds

[BlackSwordsMan]

Blow this team up

[dirk4mvp]

Is Nash having a party in the lane on the same Spurs team the Mavericks were allergic to drive the ball against?

[Capt Bringdown]

Spurs shooting 31 %, Suns 65%

[Goran Dragic]

The Suns have always been able to build early leads on San Antonio, keeping them is the issue.

[4>0rings]

Bonner and Blair in at the same time? Fuck you Pop even though you have no choice.

[Fpoonsie]

Just like we feared...Dejuan hustles himself into a quick foul.

[Capt Bringdown]

Spurs making Nash look like Jordan.

[Capt Bringdown]

Bonner and Blair in at the same time? Fuck you Pop even though you have no choice.

And Mason...

[Fpoonsie]

Blair, Bonner, Mason...Jesus EFFING Christ.

[pauls931]

parker duped dudley big time

[Bob Lanier]

Good continuation call.

[DAF86]

WTF? that shouldn't have been allowed.

[pauls931]

Spurs must be playing the let nash score but not assist strategy. I'm curious when Dragic is going to get some PT.

[4>0rings]

lol@Spurfans that thought this series was in the bag.

[Capt Bringdown]

So much for our championship pretensions...How in the world do you let Nash score 17 points in one quarter, mostly ON LAYUPS?

[pauls931]

So much for our championship pretensions...How in the world do you let Nash score 17 points in one quarter, mostly ON LAYUPS?

Hill looks lost on D there. Doesn't parker usually cover Nash? In the past they'd put Bowen on him on occasion too.

[Goran Dragic]

Good start, coulda been better, but I'll take it.

[DAF86]

So much for our championship pretensions...How in the world do you let Nash score 17 points in one quarter, mostly ON LAYUPS?

I don't know why Hill kept guarding Nash with Tony on the game.

[Goran Dragic]

Hill looks lost on D there. Doesn't parker usually cover Nash? In the past they'd put Bowen on him on occasion too.


I tried saying that Hill couldn't defend Nash anywhere near as good as Bowen could because big defenders always bother Nash more than speedy athletic defenders.

I expect to see some Jefferson on Nash.

[pauls931]

Nash taught him that!

[Capt Bringdown]

According to Collins, when the Spurs opponents score 30+ in one quarter, it's an automatic L.

Spurs sure look they're well on their way to an L.

[Fpoonsie]

How do you let Dragic get THAT shot off?

[Bob Lanier]

I thought Dragitch was a "good defender"

[pauls931]

I thought Dragitch was a "good defender"

Compared to nash...

[Goran Dragic]

Wow Bonner.

[Fpoonsie]

Why the FUCK is Mason still in the game?!

[picc84]

lol Barbosa

[Bob Lanier]

lmao mason

[pauls931]

Seriously suns, lay ginobilli out the next time he tries that. I get sick of seeing Ginobili and parker prince prancing to the hoop.

[resistanze]

After all that shit it's only a 6 point game? :lol

[Capt Bringdown]

Smart move by Manu to push the ball

[DAF86]

Manu dominating on defense.

[4>0rings]

Seriously suns, lay ginobilli out the next time he tries that. I get sick of seeing Ginobili and parker prince prancing to the hoop.
Same feeling when Nash is in the paint chasing his tail for 15 seconds.

[Goran Dragic]

Again this is what worries me. Suns shooting 61.5%, Spurs shooting 44.4% and they're only up by 6. The team that takes care of the ball is always going to beat the team that tries to out shoot the other team.

[hitmanyr2k]

Manu dominating on defense.

Agreed. I've lost count how many deflections he's had. It won't show up on the stat sheet but he's playing damn good defense on whoever he guards.

[pauls931]

Same feeling when Nash is in the paint chasing his tail for 15 seconds.

Ditto. Lots of penetration without any hard fouls on both sides.

[Goran Dragic]

Lou Amundson is so fuckin stupid.

[Capt Bringdown]

Goldarnit, can Bonner EVER make a timely 3?

[4>0rings]

Why does that sissy ginger cuck always choose April, May, and sometimes June to not show up?

[hitmanyr2k]

There's no one in the league that misses as many wide open shots as Bonner.

[Fpoonsie]

You've GOTTA finish that, Manu.

[pauls931]

Dragic needs a mean streak. Suns are playing very soft right now.

[portpower_11]

If Bonner can make those open 3s, he is useless for Spurs

Why does Mason suck so much this year?

When he first come to Spurs, I though it's a great addition for Spurs

[Capt Bringdown]

Manu seems to be the only one with a game plan tonight.

[Goran Dragic]

Well Phoenix, you're a fuckin jump shooting team, if you don't make your wide open jumpers, don't expect to win.

[pauls931]

Oops, didn't see you barbacoa, LOL...

[4>0rings]

Duncan taking Garbosa with him :lol

[Bob Lanier]

:lol

[hitmanyr2k]

Manu seems to be the only one with a game plan tonight.

He should stick with taking the ball to the hole or the midrange game and lay off the threes a bit.

[Fpoonsie]

We get close, they pull away.

God, it's like high school relationships all over again...

[pauls931]

Can't believe it. Duncan's the dirtiest player so far haha...

[Capt Bringdown]

Our inability to hit a 3 is not a good sign...

[Goran Dragic]

:lmao that's not traveling?

[portpower_11]

Nash is doing all the damage!

[4>0rings]

Spurs looking like garbage. Doesn't help they are taking the Suns lightly.

[Capt Bringdown]

anytime Nash touches the ball, it's an automatic score

[Stabbin' Cabin]

Duncan flopping on Amundson...lol.

[pauls931]

anytime Nash touches the ball, it's an automatic score

Spurs going way out of their way to guard the pick and roll and 3's.

[Capt Bringdown]

Spurs going way out of their way to guard the pick and roll and 3's.

Whatever it is, it ain't working.

Although if we shoot better than 37% perhaps it might...

[hitmanyr2k]

Duncan has brought a complete shit game tonight.

[Goran Dragic]

J-Rich is THE MAN!

[j.dizzle]

Duncan looks slow as fuck

[4>0rings]

Spurs looking like their usual complete shitness.

[pauls931]

Whatever it is, it ain't working.

Although if we shoot better than 37% perhaps it might...

The problem is it's creating driving opportunies having the D spread out.

[lil_penny]

Jason "michael jordan' richardson is back lol

[Bob Lanier]

They give Nash an assist for that? I guess Phoenix's scorekeepers are operating under the Stockton rules.

[DAF86]

Duncan looks old out there.

[portpower_11]

Duncan has been playing terribly so far this game

If he does show up, Suns will take this game easily

[resistanze]

Duncan looking like Toronto Olajuwon.

[Capt Bringdown]

Wow, who would have known the mighty defense of the Phoenix Suns would hold Manu, TP, Hill, TD and RJ to a MEASLY 34 POINTS so far?

[portpower_11]

Wow, who would have known the mighty defense of the Phoenix Suns would hold Manu, TP, Hill, TD and RJ to a MEASLY 34 POINTS so far?

They are not the old Suns

[Capt Bringdown]

Duncan's back down, dribble/spin into the lane move has been crap for him for years now...

[4>0rings]

These refs :lmao

[Fpoonsie]

Bullshit foul on Timmy.

[j.dizzle]

Amare just too strong for this version of Duncan

[DJ Mbenga]

37 points for the spurs. 32 points for the suns IN THE PAINT

[Capt Bringdown]

Duncan with his patented "I give up" body language.

Not good.

[BanditHiro]

Amare just too QUICK for this version of Duncan

edit

[j.dizzle]

Manu falling on the floor, no surprises here

[Capt Bringdown]

37 points for the spurs. 32 points for the suns IN THE PAINT

Credit the Suns for realizing the Spurs weakness and attacking it mercilessly.

[pauls931]

good call refs

[j.dizzle]

:wow Collins just said "we gotta give credit to the suns defense"..Crazy shit never heard PHX & Defense in the same sentence before.

[portpower_11]

too much on Manu, he is the only Spurs still trying

Nash, Amare and JR are scoring at will

[pauls931]

FT's only thing keeping the spurs in this.

[4>0rings]

Duncan should be ashamed of himself passing out of the paint when he's directly under the basket.

[Fpoonsie]

Manu's only thing keeping the spurs in this.

FIFY

We can't hit any FTs.

[pauls931]

Hill still looking for someone he can guard.

[4>0rings]

J Rich shoves Hill out and whistle against Hill...

[portpower_11]

FT's only thing keeping the spurs in this.


No

FTs are actually killing Spurs,

look, how many FTs do they have miss?

Duncan has missed 4

[The TroutBum]

They give Nash an assist for that? I guess Phoenix's scorekeepers are operating under the Stockton rules.

lol, what the fuck?

[Bob Lanier]

:lol, the Frenchman diving like an Italian

[pauls931]

ref's caught you that time G...

[4>0rings]

No

FTs are actually killing Spurs,

look, how many FTs do they have miss?

Duncan has missed 4Before Duncan missed those 2 they were 14-18. They are doing decent on the FT's.

[Fpoonsie]

'nother bullshit call.

Not saying that's at all the reason for this PHO lead, but goddamn.

[Capt Bringdown]

Spurs are overmatched.

[4>0rings]

Fuck this off to play MW2 until 3rd.

[Fpoonsie]

PHO fans (at the arena) are fuckin obnoxious as hell.

[Goran Dragic]

mental errors hurting this team

[Bob Lanier]

If Duncan's gone the Spurs might actually have a chance to win this game.

[Fpoonsie]

Oh Jesus.

Timmy.

[Capt Bringdown]

Oh shit, that looks bad...

[j.dizzle]

Duncans gonna be even slower now.

[hitmanyr2k]

Forgot about that Temple kid. He needs to see some playing time in this series. He's like one of those guys who doesn't play scared. Reminds me of a Flip Murray type player.

[Capt Bringdown]

the thing is, Duncan should have seen that coming. He just stood there, lost in space.

[DAF86]

We should be down like by 30.

[Bob Lanier]

Forgot about that Temple kid. He needs to see some playing time in this series. He's like one of those guys who doesn't play scared. Reminds me of a Flip Murray type player.
So he doesn't play scared, but he does play dumb?

[Goran Dragic]

We should be down like by 30.

That's what worries me. Granted Phoenix coulda played better, they should be up by more.

[portpower_11]

We should be down like by 30.


30 pts is away too much,

the scoreboard did misslead the game, Suns should have a 20 pts lead

[Goran Dragic]

Yeah Phoenix should have a 15-20 point lead, but I'll take this.

[hitmanyr2k]

So he doesn't play scared, but he does play dumb?

From what I've seen...no.

[pauls931]

Yeah Phoenix should have a 15-20 point lead, but I'll take this.

Agreed, they should be up by more, but that's the way the whole portland series felt. You'd wait and wait for them to blow it open and eventually it would happen. But the Spurs are a better team than the injured Blazers.

[Bob Lanier]

:lmao :lmao :lmao at that LeCrab travel

I didn't see that the first time :rollin

[Bob Lanier]

From what I've seen...no.
Well, I don't know about Temple, but Flip Murray's one of the last 20 players currently in the NBA I'd want on my team (even if it weren't already overloaded with little guards).

[pauls931]

:lmao :lmao :lmao at that LeCrab travel

I didn't see that the first time :rollin

A step with both feet counts as one crab step.

[mojorizen7]

Pops in the lockerroom to George Hill: "Sweep the leg."
Hill: "But coach......."
".........!"

Either way it's better than the usual 8-10 point lead Phoenix had at halftime when Amare would have 25 first half points and no one else would have any sort of rhythm.

What makes me the happiest is that they're exploiting size when Hill or Parker is guarding J-Rich.

[Goran Dragic]

What a fuckin great start.

[BlackSwordsMan]

throw najaera at someone

[LnGrrrR]

DoK, why do you even login with your troll anymore? :lol

What's sad is that he has 2,000+ posts... heh.

[Fpoonsie]

When Amare's hittin shots like that, it kinda makes ya wanna take your ball and go home.

[Goran Dragic]

Just so you Phoenix players know, games are 48 minutes long, not 24. What a fuckin lazy way to come out of the locker room.

[DAF86]

Nice!

[pauls931]

Spurs right back in it running and gunning, will be interesting to see if they can keep it up.

Yeah, 'tis a pace not favorable for the silver-n-black. If this keeps up, Spurs'll eventually get run outta the building.

That's what the Spurs have done against the Suns every time since 2005. Run with them.

[pauls931]

God collins sucks.

[Bob Lanier]

LOL WHAT

Amare the economics professor

[Goran Dragic]

When it's blatantly obvious Collins needs to get rid of the ball, don't just stand there and watch, try to get open. God damn.

[Trainwreck2100]

not really smart to waste your 2nd half timeouts

[Fpoonsie]

While we've been successful in the past matchin their tempo, I'm worried about it w/ this team. Our boys (playin heavy mins) aren't as young as they once were.

[Fpoonsie]

Fucking TNT experimental camera angles!

[picc84]

Phx giving up a big lead to the Spurs....whats new?

[Goran Dragic]

Well, the coaching adjustment battle has begun. Early score Popovich 1 Gentry 0. Fuck this.

[hitmanyr2k]

It never fails :lol Whenever someone blows a layup the other team ALWAYS comes back and nails a three.

LOL looks like a shootout, good old PHX style basketball bitches hahaha

[pauls931]

glad the spurs are not playing any D either or this could be really ugly.

[Goran Dragic]

If the Spurs aren't play Defense how did they make up a 10 point deficient?


I think he was just talking about the last few possessions.

Why do teams have to play defense in the playoffs?

[Goran Dragic]

Grant Hill has come out with no intensity whatsoever this half.

[4>0rings]

The fuck Spurs? Do you want to take the lead?

[hitmanyr2k]

Wow. Grant shifted his feet. Bullshit call.

[4>0rings]

Hill's old ass was jumping in the air sideway.... bang up job there ref.

[hitmanyr2k]

Duncan is finishing around the rim like his name is Matt Bonner. How the fuck did he blow that layup? And like clockwork the Suns come right back and hit a three.

[4>0rings]

Leaving the best 3 point shooter on the best 3 point shooting team wide open.

[Fpoonsie]

Aaaaand just like that...

[DAF86]

Hill's old ass was jumping in the air sideway.... bang up job there ref.

Agreed, that call changed momentum. Fuck.

[4>0rings]

:lmao this team is a joke.

[4>0rings]

:lmao Bonner

[hitmanyr2k]

Bonner is putting the ball on the floor in a crowd.....why? :lol

[Goran Dragic]

Dunk face

[4>0rings]

Bonner is putting the ball on the floor in a crowd.....why? :lol
Cause that stupid idiot of a coach encourages him.

[Fpoonsie]

FUCK, Manu! FUCK! Hold the ball for the last shot...

[j.dizzle]

Idk, but I've never been happier about being wrong. I just hope Phoenix can close it out.

[DAF86]

lol at old ass Collins saying that the run was with Parker on the bench.

[Bob Lanier]

nash is pounding that ass HARD...
What does this even mean?

[hitmanyr2k]

This line-up is all kinds of fail :lol
