Phoenix Suns @ L.A. Lakers, Game 3

You know, it's too bad that the Suns fans had to come in here AFTER their team got beat and up a completely fun thread. I really enjoyed the game. Hopefully the Suns fans will keep this trend up as the playoffs move along.

I was going CRAZY during the game tonight, just ask Angel, she got a kick out of it. I am unbelievably happy at how the Lakers responded tonight, especially after the slow start. Kwame did very well, once he stopped missing layups, and Lamar looked for his shot a bit. Kobe was Kobe. 45 points, always amazing. Now we gotta take Game 4!!!

First of all, you haven't called anyone anything up to this point. I'm not sure why you feel the need to jump into the fray, other than to side with your fellow Suns fans. That said, if I were Mannyisgod or AHF then you could call me out about it. But since you weren't all that outraged at Barbosa for doing the same ing thing in the game you cite, that makes YOU the hypocrite, not me.



First of all, Smush IS too dumb to know better. There's a ing reason he lost a starting job he was lucky to have to a rookie at the end of the season. I'm the first ing person to say how stupid it was in this thread; look it up. I still think anyone who gets pissed off at that is re ed.

I'm just saying that everyone I read in the game blog was yelling about running up the score in a regular season game when there was still a shot clock on vs. trying to dunk in the playoffs with 2 seconds left... I'm not calling you anything, but I had to come up with some to gtry and be funny/sarcastic to contend with the "whiny" comments you made.

[Xylus]

Coupled with blaming the refs and suggesting that a flagrant foul would have been a good idea, yeah. Your team away a big lead because they stopped trying and completely got out-hustled. Smush was excited to be on the court. If you were so concerned about sportsmanship I'd expect to see you mention Baboso taunting the Laker bench after that three.

Come on, there are always fans that complain about the reffing, after every game. And I don't think anyone suggested flagrantly fouling Smush Parker. I said Bell should have fouled him a little harder than just holding his wrist, but I definitely wouldn't want him to clothesline him.

I haven't made any excuses about the game. The Lakers clearly outperformed us tonight.

Please don't post re ed messages. It's bad for your mental health, or lack thereof

What a BS game! The league obviously wanted the lakers to win...28 FT's to 12??? BULL !!!

/end Dal-GS stupidity from yesterday

[ponky]

Not a shock - you probably liked it when Griffin dunked on the Suns for no reason last year or when Robert Horry took a 3 after the Rockets already wrapped up the 1995 NBA le against the Magic, or when the Patriots tramped all over the Chargers' logo, or when Tim Thomas blew a kiss to Dirk.

yes, yes, yes (well, maybe not a yes but it's no big deal, ladanian was a little pu$$y for ing about it), and a RESOUNDING YES (tim thomas' kiss led dirk to go nutz over the suns in that game and got the mavs a win that the suns couldn't recover from...thanks you tim!)

[LEONARD]

The Mavs should've sent Tim Thomas a thank you for blowing that kiss and firing Dirk up...

Matt Barnes is this year's Tim Thomas...and the previous year's Jon Barry...

[Purple & Gold]

Nice win from the Lakeshow. That's what happens when you throw the ball inside. Expose the Suns weakness. Finally some tough defense out of the Lakers, looks like they finally came to play. And yeah Smush has no class, stupid move by him. I'm sure Phil's gonna set him straight. But Suns have the least class out of any team in the NBA, so to see D'Antoni complain about it is pretty ing funny.

[rasho8]

Yeah I wanted the Lakers to win this game.... but it seemed a little lopsided again with the officiating. Until the lest 4 minutes of the game, then they just seemed to let them do whatever.

[Purple & Gold]

You've obviously never met Purple & Gold on this message board before... talk about inventing things to complain about.

Oh come on Ron you're the biggest on this forum. You're the one that thinks Stern masterminded some type of conspiracy against your Suns.

The refs called the game fine. There was missed calls on both sides. Lakers got to the line more because they killed them on the offensive glass and Kobe went to the hole every time.

[Nashfan]

I like how, even though it keeps getting brought up, Suns fans completely ignore Barbosa talking at the Lakers bench when he tied the game at 89...

This is a ridiculous opinion. If you knew anything about Barbosa, you would know he doesn't have a mean bone in his body. He even hands the ball back to the ref nicely instead of just throwing it back. He is too sweet natured to trash talk if you have heard him interviewed or read articles about him. He's just a kid who loves to play basketball and wouldn't even think about trash talking.

[Nashfan]

And if he's taunting, it's not like anyone could have understood him anyways.

[DarrinS]

I haven't read the entire thread, but what was the big deal with Smush making that last dunk? I mean, D'Antoni looked like he was having the temper tantrum of a two-year-old.


What is the difference between Smush hitting a meaningless dunk and the Suns starters piling on to their 30+ lead?
