LA Lakers vs Phoenix Suns Game 6 NBA Playoffs 2010

Written by Abe Luciano

Saturday, 29 May 2010
LA Lakers vs Phoenix Suns Game 6 NBA Playoffs 2010 Picks & Predictions: In Game 5, (3-2) Los Angeles Lakers [+1½] defensive specialist, Ron Artest went from being chastised for taking an ill-advised shot late in the fourth quarter to being the hero of the game by putting in a layup as time expired. According to NBA Playoffs 2010 Picks & Predictions specialists at BETUS.com, the OVER/UNDER for Game 6 of the Lakers vs Suns is set at a combined total of 216½ points scored.

“It was a great moment for him, for our team,” the Lakers' Derek Fisher said. “Ron has really sacrificed a lot for our team. He's a big part of our team. A lot of things he does go unnoticed on the stat sheet, but he's committed to doing one thing, and that's helping us win.”

With their backs against the wall, the (2-3) Phoenix Suns [-1½] will have to win two straight games in order to earn a date with the Eastern Conference champion Boston Celtics in this year’s 2010 NBA Finals. Game 6 of this best-of-seven series is set to get underway tonight at 8:30 PM ET from U.S. Airways Center in Phoenix, AZ, and it will be broadcasted live on TNT Sports.

For the Suns, they have ran their mouths and have motivated the Lakers to play better throughout this series. Well, you can add another bulletin material statement from the underdogs. However, this one comes from an unlikely source, as Suns’ point-guard Steve Nash is the one doing the talking.

“I just said we're going home and win Game 6 and come back in Game 7,” Nash said after practice on Friday. “Take it how you want to take it.”

But Nash’s guarantee is sure to make it on the Lakers’ locker room, as the hero of Game 5 addressed those very same comments. According to the man from Queensbridge, the Suns better get ready for the Black Mamba come Saturday.

“That's like no respect for us. There's no respect. That's how it's been for a long time this season. I'm sure we'll talk about it,” Artest said. “Coaches have no respect for the Lakers at all. They have no respect for me. The players don't respect - a lot of the guys don't respect. ... I'm sure Kobe heard that (what Nash said), and I'm sure he'll do his part tomorrow.”

For me, I think tonight’s game is more telling for the Lakers than the Suns. I think that if Los Angeles is to ready to win back-to-back titles, it will close this series out tonight. As we have seen over the past two years, the Lakers have proven to be able to close out teams on the road. They did it against the Nuggets in last year’s conference Finals and again in the NBA Finals in Orlando, FL.

“We don't plan on going to Phoenix and losing three times on their home court,” Lakers head coach Phil Jackson said. “We're not making this trip over there just to fill a date. We're going over there to win a game. We're highly motivated for this game, but we understand that if it has to go seven, we're damn well ready to come back home and defend our home court again. This is a series that has taken a lot of different faces to it in the course of these five games, and we don't expect Game 6 to be any different.”

Pretty funny that like 3 different non-Lakers or Suns fans have made a game 6 thread.

Game time?

[Rummpd]

Win or lose the Sun's Gentry is an impressive coach - I like his demeanor and intellect.

Win or lose the Sun's Gentry is an impressive coach - I like his demeanor and intellect.

Though he'll never have the sack to run a zone Vs. Boston if the unthinkable happens.

I picked Channing Frye for the NBA fantasy game tonight..horrible..

[Laker-fan-in-SanAnto]

Let's close this shit out!

[LakerHater]

Here we GO!

[Chieflion]

Nash! Nash! Nash!

[LakerHater]

[LakerHater]

Kobe carring the ball........again!

[D2Procon]

Is the crowd yelling 'Defense' or 'Steve Nash' LOOOL

[LakerHater]

4 point play!!!!!!!

[Chieflion]

4 point play for Grant Hill coming right up!

[Pero]

Great play by Hill!

[LnGrrrR]

Lol Kobe

[ace3g]

Suns using the zone?

[Red Hawk #21]

Its gunna be an epic game...

[Red Hawk #21]

And 1

[LakerHater]

[Bob Lanier]

Kobe should have been removed for the night as unable to take the FTs.

[Shastafarian]

I'd want him getting that blood stopped too if I was a Suns player. Who knows what kinds of STDs that guy has.

[Bob Lanier]

Oh god, this fucking 1-3-1 zone. A bore to watch.

[Shastafarian]

Richardson only got fouled twice on that drive.

[pauls931]

Oh god, this fucking 1-3-1 zone. A bore to watch.

Not as boring as the Piston series right now.

[Pero]

19 pts in 5 minutes.

[Banzai]

seeing a lack of defense from both teams?

[LnGrrrR]

Though he'll never have the sack to run a zone Vs. Boston if the unthinkable happens.

I don't think a zone would work against Boston, with Allen and Pierce being good 3 pt shooters, along with sheed if he gets hot.

[ace3g]

Oh god, this fucking 1-3-1 zone. A bore to watch.

reason they won games 3 and 4, and why they won quarters 3 and 4 of game 5

[LnGrrrR]

Oh god, this fucking 1-3-1 zone. A bore to watch.

I don't know, I think it's interesting. We rarely get to see an NBA team face a zone.

[LakerHater]

I don't think a zone would work against Boston, with Allen and Pierce being good 3 pt shooters, along with sheed if he gets hot.

Well, neither would the laker D!
Jus look how good theyre defending the 3!

[Pero]

En route to a 40 pt quarter. :lol

[pauls931]

did the hoop just move?

[LakerHater]

Airrrrrrballlll!

[LnGrrrR]

Lol airballlllll

[Red Hawk #21]

Wow, such a strong move by J-rich

[LnGrrrR]

Nice pass by Big Bird there.

[Pero]

Stoudamire seems too predictable to me...

Nice layup by Nash just now.

[Red Hawk #21]

J-Rich is going all out...

[D2Procon]

[Sisk]

[Bob Lanier]

[Pero]

Don't they call the foot in the NBA?

[Sisk]

loldudley........

[pauls931]

[LnGrrrR]

Amar'e is in invisble out there, especially under the boards.

[Pero]

Don't they call the foot in the NBA?

[Amarelooms]

too fast a pace and too high scoring....Lakers aren't gonna win a shoot out with scores in the 120's....they better slow it down

:elephant

[LakerHater]

If Amar'e dont get it goin Suns are gonna lose!

[LnGrrrR]

finish dudley... sigh

Missed layups like that piss me off and disappoint me at the same time.

[Shastafarian]

too fast a pace and too high scoring....Lakers aren't gonna win a shoot out with scores in the 120's....they better slow it down

:elephantYeah they lost the first two games when they scored 120+

[Chieflion]

Am I the only one seeing that Amare is actually hustling and playing good defense out there?

[LakerHater]

[LnGrrrR]

Bynum will be out of the league by 30 with his knees...

[Shastafarian]

Bynum will be out of the league by 30 with his knees...

He'll be out of the league by 25 with his talent...

[Pero]

huh?

Well I don't if it's called that in English. It's when the ball hits the foot.

[LnGrrrR]

Am I the only one seeing that Amare is actually hustling and playing good defense out there?

Ok, that was a nice play by him :lol

I just think he can and needs to match the LA bigs in rebounding for the suns to win.

[Sisk]

Well I don't if it's called that in English. It's when the ball hits the foot.

oh sorry i didn't know what you mean, but yes they call kick ball in the NBA, i didn't see what happened though

[Banzai]

lol wut?

[Sisk]

nash subbed out/gasol subbed with 2 PF's

[Bob Lanier]

That's fucking basket interference. No field goal.

[Pero]

oh sorry i didn't know what you mean, but yes they call kick ball in the NBA, i didn't see what happened though

When Amare got bailed out by that foul on Farmar, I thought the ball bounced of Gasol's foot first but wasn't called.

[Shastafarian]

How is that a foul on Pau.

The stench of his vagina caused Amar'e to fall forward into him.

[BullsDynasty]

Channing Frye is an idiot.

[Bob Lanier]

Kobe's got a little jut going on already.
http://plasticsurgery.ucla.edu/images/Reconstruction/jaw_surgery2_large.jpg

[Amarelooms]

Kobe is an idiot...why didn't he attack the rim there...he's shooting too many jumpers...attack the rim and get to the line

:elephant

[mogrovejo]

When Amare got bailed out by that foul on Farmar, I thought the ball bounced of Gasol's foot first but wasn't called.

It didn't look intentional.

[Pero]

It didn't look intentional.

Does it have to be?

[Shastafarian]

You sure that wasn't the stench of Amare's cock being pulled from Duncan's ass.

Yeah

[LnGrrrR]

Those 1800 commercials are retarded. Who doesn't have a frigging shot glass?

[BullsDynasty]

Phil Jackson "Excitable Refs" :lmao

[Bob Lanier]

:rollin

TNT's caption: Phil Jackson 8-1 in closeout games since 2008

[Red Hawk #21]

Did Phil Jackson just get some pussy?

[mogrovejo]

Kobe is an idiot...why didn't he attack the rim there...he's shooting too many jumpers...attack the rim and get to the line

:elephant

To allow the pakistani transvestite to bitch about FT differential.

[LnGrrrR]

The machine! :lol

[pauls931]

Come on Dragic, can't let douche vagina boy show you up again.

[Sisk]

When Amare got bailed out by that foul on Farmar, I thought the ball bounced of Gasol's foot first but wasn't called.

They must've not seen it. But it is against the rules

[4>0rings]

Save the 1800/gold for the frozen margs. Patron and company for shots.

[Bob Lanier]

Good God Farmar is bad.

[mogrovejo]

Does it have to be?

Sure. Same in FIBA.

[HarlemHeat37]

Barbosa is so bad..honestly, how is this guy getting rotation minutes in the WCF?..

[Banzai]

suns swatting balls out of bounds? and it is their ball?

[Amarelooms]

lol at Bynum...why is stupid Farmar passing him the ball under the rim....that big ear idiot has to finish the shot himself

:elephant

[LnGrrrR]

Yeah, but they know most of you idiots would buy for those stupid gimmicks. And can you take the baby down. I have a hard time insulting you with him in the pic. You slick fucker you.

I promise it will come down before the Finals, cool? :lol

[Shastafarian]

lol at Bynum...why is stupid Farmar passing him the ball under the rim....that big ear idiot has to finish the shot himself

:elephant

It's not so much that his ears are big. It's that they're fucking perpendicular to his head.

[Pero]

Sure. Same in FIBA.

Seriously? This is the first time I heard of this. And it seemed to me that it's called more in FIBA competitions.

[Bob Lanier]

Farmar = http://www.2012deathprediction.com/causes/elephant.jpg, except a thousand times less likely to cause you any harm

[pauls931]

Come on Bynum, you never caught a fish THAT big.

[HarlemHeat37]

Wow, that's a horrible call..how does a ref reward Lou Amundson for trying to create a play for himself?..that guy shouldn't be doing anything other than rebounding and dunking off passes..

[pauls931]

3 stooges take note...

[pauls931]

gentry is a much more forgiving man that I'd be....

[Shastafarian]

Barbosa really sucks

[Bob Lanier]

A Vujacic-Dragic duel!!

[HarlemHeat37]

Can Gentry please get Barbosa out of the fucking game?..

[mogrovejo]

Seriously? This is the first time I heard of this. And it seemed to me that it's called more in FIBA competitions.

Rule 13, IIRC

[Bob Lanier]

I think Almondson might actually be a better player than Andrew Bynum.

[Kobayagi]

The machine vs. the Dragon.

[Shastafarian]

http://www.fiba.com/downloads/Rules/2010/OfficialBasketballRules2010.pdf

Rule 13, IIRC

The NBA rule

Section V-Strike the Ball
a. A player shall not kick the ball or strike it with the fist.
b. Kicking the ball or striking it with any part of the leg is a violation when it is an intentional act. The ball accidentally striking the foot, the leg or fist is not a violation.

[pauls931]

suns blowing more easy baskets than I can count right now.

[Pero]

Rule 13, IIRC

Oh wow. Thanks.

Damn Lakers on a run.

[4>0rings]

Lakers taking a huge stinky paki shit on the Suns.

[LnGrrrR]

Why is Amare settling for jumpers?

[Bob Lanier]

Farmar redeeming himself. A little

[redzero]

Is it me, or does the Lakers' bench rears its head only when they close out a team in game six?

[Pero]

The machine vs. the Dragon.

Machine seems to be winning so far.

Amare sending a message to teams that were looking to give him the max..

Serious question..has any team ever made it as far as Phoenix has while having players of Barbosa and Amundson's caliber in their rotation?..that alone speaks volumes on the rest of their team, a lot of credit to them..

Does Amare only have two moves?

[Pero]

oh snap sons they just showed my boo Diana!

Is she a lesbian?

[Amarelooms]

Kobe is killing the Lakers

:elephant

[Pero]

Crap, Artest can't miss.

[ace3g]

if the Lakers beat the zone by hitting 3s tonight fine, but they rather that then the Lakers dominating the Suns in the Paint with their length

and the Lakers are hitting their 3s right now

[Bob Lanier]

Oh, bullshit.

[LakerHater]

oh snap sons they just showed my boo Diana!

They sure did & she was with her life partner! :lol

[BRHornet45]

Is she a lesbian?

son no Diana is not a lesbian. however there are many lesbo's in the WNBA ... Becky Hammon being the most notable attractive one.

[Amarelooms]

Why is Bynum pushing up on Nash....stupid strategy....

:elephant

[BRHornet45]

They sure did & she was with her life partner! :lol

LMAO you ass clown that was Penny Taylor ... her MARRIED teammate on the Mercury!!!

[Capt Bringdown]

Not much you can do when the Lakers are shooting 65% from 3pt land.

[Sisk]

Well, Bynum with 3 fouls and Gasol with 2.. hope they get more

[Sisk]

frye fucking fails

[Bob Lanier]

Tru WARIER!

Tons of teams. The second three-peat Bulls had Randy Brown and Bill Wennington picking up minutes.

[Bob Lanier]

lol gasol

[LakerHater]

LMAO you ass clown that was Penny Taylor ... her MARRIED teammate on the Mercury!!!

Doesnt mean she dont swing both ways!!

Im sure she lets that lezbo taurasi eat'er out!

[Amarelooms]

lol getting blocked by Hill...LOL at Gasol...son that is sad

:elephant

[redzero]

Maybe I'm calling it too early, but this looks like it's going to be another one of those blowout road wins for the Lakers.

[Pero]

LMAO Gasol crying even when nobody's touching him.

[BRHornet45]

Doesnt mean she dont swing both ways!!

Im sure she lets that lezbo taurasi eat'er out!

son well then with that mindset I'm sure Duncan lets Tony Parker suck his cock after the games!

Unless Amare shows up soon the Suns are toast.

Lakers spacing/passing is incredible tonight.

[Amarelooms]

Kobe gotta start playing...drive against the zone for the short jumper or draw the foul

:elephant

I think I'm going to get eye cancer watching this...

I know! I mean, I know she's an Oscar winner but I did not wanna see Hillary Swank in HD... *shiver*

sons could someone plzzzzzz make me a gif image of when they just showed Diana?! thx in advance!

[LakerHater]

son well then with that mindset I'm sure Duncan lets Tony Parker suck his cock after the games!

Whata dumbass, Tim nor Tony is gay!
Diana on the other hand is a funckin ugly ass dyke!

[DJ Mbenga]

damn zoosk commercials. this chick is hot!

son Diana is not lesbian.

[Banzai]

Does Amare camp in the paint?

[LakerHater]

son Diana is not lesbian.

Well.... I seriously dont know that for sure but, do you?

[BRHornet45]

Please Son. You have any proof that this dyke has ever had a boyfriend?

son do you have any proof that Tim Duncan doesn't like to suck on some cock every now and then???

[Pero]

LMAO Amare same move every time.

[Bob Lanier]

You aren't Jordan, and Amare isn't Karl Malone, Kobe.

[Amarelooms]

Sun always make that big 3....these fuckers are ridiculous

:elephant

[BRHornet45]

Well.... I seriously dont know that for sure but, do you?

son none of us know for sure what most of these athletes do in their private life. Hell, even our own board members like ghazi has admitted to paying $250 for a hand job! .... we don't know if Tim Duncan likes sucking penis on the side, etc. .... all I know is what I see and hear. You can read Diana's official blog and tell that she is straight. she likes mens. now as far as Becky Hammon goes ... well whenever that girl opens her mouth to talk, a Jeep Wrangler basically falls out.

[Shastafarian]

The big question is, will Gentry panic and move away from the zone in the 2nd half?

[Sisk]

nash looks.. weird

[BRHornet45]

He could, but he is married. So Whom is Diana dating again?

LMAO! as if marriage means anything in their world!

[pauls931]

hoop moved again...

[Pero]

The big question is, will Gentry panic and move away from the zone in the 2nd half?

I hope not. I doubt the Lakers keep hitting the three that well.

Man Nash has to start showing something...

[pauls931]

It's official god hates the suns...

Jesus Christ.

WOW kobe.. impressive

See, there you go with speculation! So as long as you say lies, without any proof, about Hammon, I'll do the same about the Labia lover Diana Taurasi!

[BRHornet45]

I said Tim can be gay, but you have no proof that Diana had or has boyfriend.

son she has been linked to a basketball player from U-Conn and some banker in Arizona!

[Capt Bringdown]

Kobe with the dagger 3, game/series over.

How did the Lakers lose 2 games against the Suns?

[Bob Lanier]

Queensbridge.

[Shastafarian]

I think it should be a policy that no matter what team leads, they interview Artest at half time of every game.

[ShoogarBear]

The only hope left is that Ron-Ron will take this last opportunity to pound Craig Sager into pixie dust.

[BRHornet45]

See, there you go with speculation! So as long as you say lies, without any proof, about Hammon, I'll do the same about the Labia lover Diana Taurasi!

son that's fine and I will do the same about Tim Duncan. there have always been strong rumors about his "side action" with random men while on road trips.

[pauls931]

Kobe with the dagger 3, game/series over.

How did the Lakers lose 2 games against the Suns?

Even a better one... How did the spurs lose 4 in a row?:p:

But yeah, the suns just don't seem to have their heads in this one. I guess they checked out after game 5. Hope DoK is doing ok there...

[LakerHater]

son do you have any proof that Tim Duncan doesn't like to suck on some cock every now and then???

Do you have any proof Taurasi likes to suck cock?
....NOPE! Shes a lezbo, jus look at her...gross!

[DJ Mbenga]

VoAjpOv4560

[BRHornet45]

sons will someone please make me a gif of Diana from tonight????! plz

[Capt Bringdown]

Artest thinking he's a scorer - I'm sure the Celtics can live with that.

[LakerHater]

son that's fine and I will do the same about Tim Duncan. there have always been strong rumors about his "side action" with random men while on road trips.

:lol Didnt Chris paul grab Bowen's cock!??

[ace3g]

well it only took 4 games for the Lakers to finally beat the zone, too bad the Suns didn't use it in the 1st half of game 5.

and now you don't go back to man to man for the 2nd half, they might as well concede the game if they decided to do that

[pauls931]

Spurs were the 7th seed, and a shitty one at that:toast

Na, Suns are an ok team, whatever happened to the second seed that should be playing LA? *full ass moved engaged*

[Red Hawk #21]

Suns season looks like its about to be over...

[Amarelooms]

sons will someone please make me a gif of Diana from tonight????! plz

son stfu about that already....you should like black women dummy....leave the white hoes to us my nigga

:elephant

[Capt Bringdown]

Even a better one... How did the spurs lose 4 in a row?:p:


Exactly.

[JamStone]

For all his eccentricities and negative actions, there's something really likable about Artest.

[ShoogarBear]

:lol Didnt Chris paul grab Bowen's cock!??

Chris Paul is a serial nut-grabber.

[BRHornet45]

son stfu about that already....you should like black women dummy....leave the white hoes to us my nigga

:elephant

son its not our fault that ALL white women worship and secretly desire black men!!! don't hate!

[HarlemHeat37]

I picked the Lakers in 6, as did a lot of people, the Suns are a good team..it was also predictable that they would get hot for a few games and won some, their offense is too good not to..I didn't think that Phoenix would get so close to winning game 5 though, Richardson's missed box out really changed a lot..

Also, the Lakers are an elite team, but they aren't some juggernaut like the 2001 Lakers or anything..

[HarlemHeat37]

For all his eccentricities and negative actions, there's something really likable about Artest.

Probably the fact that he seems to have the mind of a disabled child..

[Bob Lanier]

I don't know if Reggie Miller's gotten a speech coach or something, but his voice has become a lot more measured this season, much less annoying.

[HarlemHeat37]

I don't know if Reggie Miller's gotten a speech coach or something, but his voice has become a lot more measured this season, much less annoying.

I agree, but it always sneaks out when he's announcing and an exciting play happens..usually when they're going to commercial and they show the replay..

[BRHornet45]

sons you really can tell that Vince McMahon has been pushing a lot of his creative ideas on to David Stern over the last few years. Miller and Barkley are like the NBA's Jim Ross and Jerry the King Lawler.

[LkrFan]

Suns scored all but two of their points inside of 17 feet. Lakers are starting to control the paint. 19 points in the 2nd qtr? Me likey.

[21_Blessings]

How did the Lakers lose 2 games against the Suns?

Free Throw Disparity

The Suns are just over-matched by that frontline. Amare brought his sissy game tonight and he's letting Gasol guard him. I've said it once and I'll say it again. The Lakers have been living off 2nd chance points and beating up these soft, midget frontcourts the entire playoffs. And Amare is killing his free agency status looking like such a punk.

Free Throw Disparity

And the Suns kicked their ass on the boards.

[Amarelooms]

Where will Amare go this offseason? I say to Miami to play with Wade

:elephant

+49 at the line :lol

Free Throw Disparity
Yep

The Suns were more aggressive in those 2 games

[hitmanyr2k]

+49 at the line :lol

And the Suns kicked their ass on the boards. You control the paint against LA and limit their 2nd chance points you beat'em....it's that simple.

[Pero]

LMAO those guys. :lol

[Bob Lanier]

Yeah, there goes Reggie's voice a-cracking.

[21_Blessings]

Yep

The Suns were more aggressive in those 2 games

Yep

While the Lakers had more points in the paint :lol

[Pero]

Yep

While the Lakers had more points in the paint :lol

Against the Suns defense.

[21_Blessings]

In order to beat the Lakers they need to spot you 49 free shots :lol

[21_Blessings]

Sorry make that +52 at the line. My B :lol

[scanry]

Ray Allen's wife... :wow

[Capt Bringdown]

Nash looks completely gassed.

[pauls931]

[Amarelooms]

Lakers playing sloppy...Gasol needs to be benched for piss poor play

adam8065 go to hell!

[HarlemHeat37]

Nash really is amazing..

Sucks that there won't be any NBA basketball until Thursday..so long..

The NHL Finals game 1 has been crazy so far tonight..

[Amarelooms]

Fisher is gonna get murdered next round.....don't be surprised to see him barely play

:elephant

[Amarelooms]

Kobe needs to be more assertive...just shoot the jumper...take the game over. Why is he passing for long 3's....

:elephant

[LnGrrrR]

How does Amare only have two rebounds?

[HarlemHeat37]

Bynum looks really solid other than his early struggles..stacked supporting cast..

The same way he only had 4 rebounds last game. He just doesn't give the effort. I've lost count how many times I've seen LA score off offensive rebounds tonight :lol

[Bob Lanier]

3-13

[Chieflion]

The same way he only had 4 rebounds last game. He just doesn't give the effort. I've lost count how many times I've seen LA score off offensive rebounds tonight :lol

Coupled with the fact that the Lakers are shooting at such a high percentage, Amar'e can't grab rebounds that aren't available.

[Bob Lanier]

He can grab rebounds off his own numerous misses.

[Amarelooms]

Fisher needs to get out...thank god he sucks

:elephant

[LnGrrrR]

The same way he only had 4 rebounds last game. He just doesn't give the effort. I've lost count how many times I've seen LA score off offensive rebounds tonight :lol

As good as he can be on the offensive end, he just won't rebound. Unacceptable for a guy his size. Hell Rondo averages five rebounds or so!

Amare wants a max contract

There's been a few opportunities where he has just been beaten for a rebound.

[Pero]

Amare wants a max contract

I heard he'll get it. In Greece.

[LakerHater]

Theyre jus choking this game away!

[Bob Lanier]

Suns starting to bitch on every possession... they've given up.

[ShoogarBear]

I heard he'll get it. In Greece.

Lies!

[Pero]

Booing your own team/player... That's some weak US-Canadian shit.

[Bob Lanier]

Nash looks like a junkie on a three-day jones.

[Pero]

This game looks over.

[LnGrrrR]

Amare wants a max contract

He's not doing a very good job of promoting himself tonight.

[Pero]

Nash fucked everything up with his guarantee.
