Barbosa and Frye shouldn't be on playoff teams..
FT discrepancy is always a poor argument when it comes to officiating, although I agree Phoenix has gotten the benefit of the doubt on calls tonight..(LA clearly did in the 1st 2 games though)

How can you complain about the free throw descrepancy when your team wont take it inside? the lakers are shooting everything from outside.
No we are not but we will win anyway ...
And I will NOT bitch about refs ...
ok...so let make it fair and noone call out discrepency's with us when its the otehr way around. deal.
Haha find a post where I've bitched about the lakers getting a FT advantage. I can't speak for gray spurs fan.

By fouling on every possession and only being called in half of them.
Refs can't keep allowing Gasol to defend with his hands so much. Every time Stoudemire faces up on him it's an easy basket for Phoenix unless Gasol fouls.

you know what happened ... according to most Laker fans, the refs cost the Lakers the game. That's three playoff games they cost us.
but on the real. Amar'e was busy and active and going to the rack. All the fouls on Bynum in the first half were legit.
Lakers were cruising then the Suns switched to a zone and the Lakers panicked especially in the second quarter.
Adjusted in the third and the game was close then in the fourth, thought they were from Cape Canaveral and started launching threes
30+ three attempts .....
gotta give Phoenix credit, they adjusted in the second and won the game. Most of Amar'e free throw attempts were legit. Dude was aggressive and the Lakers settled for jumpers. You don't get fouled shooting free throws

I have said it for 5 years. The best way to defend the Lakers is to zone them. Instead of going inside they try to shoot 3's over it. With that said, they eventually figure it out and adjust. You have to mix it up and bring it here and there.

The Spurs had no answers for the Suns zone. More than surprised to see the mighty Lakers come up clueless as well. Hats off to Gentry.
Game 4 should be very interesting. Now, when is it scheduled, next month? FFS, they don't call it the second season for nothing.

Don't worry Laker fans, Stern will make sure this series doesn't go more than 5-6 games.
We are not worried.

I have said it for 5 years. The best way to defend the Lakers is to zone them. Instead of going inside they try to shoot 3's over it. With that said, they eventually figure it out and adjust. You have to mix it up and bring it here and there.
Well my theory has always been let Kobe have a huge 1st quarter so his teammates start to check out mentally and stop looking for their shot on offense. IMO, against LA, a lot of the game depends on the 1st quarter. If you can get Bynum, Artest and Odom to go into auto-pilot it's usually hard for them to get their intensity level back up.

It's hindsight, but, he should have been given off after the Utah series ended thru until tonite's game. But, that is water under the bridge.

i wonder if they use that zone again. they are basically saying "shoot open 3's. " thats the strategy , hope they miss. also i wonder how the refs will call amare and his drives. ed rush is horrific for the lakers.

if Gentry had done this is the first quarter, this game would have been a blow out ..... Lakers just couldn't knock down open threes ...... and they were not allowed to get in the paint.

Lakers have ALWAYS struggled against the zone. They toss it around the perimiter unil the clock hits 5 then throw up the obligatory desperation 3. Simply put Pau at the high post and the zone would be toast. He cannot play low block when a tema is zoning.

It was the back breaker, yes, but, the turning point was Phil's failure to counter the zone. He'd been warned repeatedly it was coming.

It's not like it's rocket science. Beating the zone is simple. You put a big in the high post (Pau) and get him the ball early in the clock. It's that simple. Thye would tear it apart. Passing the ball around the perimiter for 20 seconds is idiotic.

I'm plenty happy about the win if that's how you're saying I should be acting, but I'm not gonna mouth off when the Suns are down in the series. If the Suns tie it up on Tuesday, I'll start getting cocky again.

I think you overrate Bynum somewhat. He's had the worst +/- in the series so far and when LA made their run in the 4th of game 2, he wasn't even on the floor despite being 5 for 5 with 13 points, which tells you Phil isn't comfortable with him.
He may serve his purpose by clogging up the lane with his size, but he in no way transforms LA's interior defense to extent that some people claim.

Well, from a competitive standpoint I never got it. If a team beats my team, either one I am on or one I am a fan of, I want them crushed in the next round. I want them to feel the pain they gave me. There are exceptions to this if say the team going on is representing the conference or league.

Exactly. If Phoenix loses, I will be upset because I would feel that the Spurs would have matched up better and PHX didn't belong there in the first place. I would rather watch PHX succeed because the salt won't be poured on my wounds.
