Go get a life....oopps.. sorry what's the Laker's excuse again?
It's nice to see lakergod so desperate that he is willing to stop cheering for his team. What's the matter you sissy? No more hopes on the rapist??? Realized that shaq was the heart of the team?
Go get a life....oopps.. sorry what's the Laker's excuse again?
Precisely what I was hoping for.
Everytime you and your re ed -buddy, wolves009, predict something, you turn out being incorrect.
Therefore, I am now confident that the Spurs will beat the Suns for the third time this season.
For that matter, they will beat the lakers for the fourth time, too.
Run along, little child, someone is reading Cat in the Hat and you don't want to miss that part you enjoy so much . . .
For some reason a lot of Laker fans around here are now abandoning the Lakers and switching to the Suns.
Also, Spurs will win the NBA finals.
How do we get Laker Fans gravy-training the Suns bandwagon?
We don't deserve this. If you are going to be a Laker fan fine, but don't drag the Suns down with you.
Having Laker fans rooting for you is almost worse than only winning 29 games and having nobody care.
A 3 point win a home by Suns over an Eastern team = YAWN.
Wake me when LakerGod shows up with a real take.
oh really?
That eastern team won the le last year moron.
What the -everWe ain't concerned with what you predict, you're as accurate as So Cal XTRA sports radioguy Vic The Prick Jacobs, and his Vic's lock...Lakers to win it all. You're both CLUELESS and blinded from actual reality. Take a step away from your keyboard and go to the store and get a box of Tim Duncan Wheaties...you need the vitamins and nutrients. I read your trash and think you must be suffering from some lack of food-induced stupidity. Get that box now,don't forget the milk...BEE-YATCH.
To the Game:
I know that but still do not fear the Pistons, they have gotten on one roll this year and are a good to great team but the Spurs with Duncan and now Parker and Ginobli playing at a high level would beat them in a series.
My so what was the Suns beat them at home, no big thing and it was not a decisive win.
Everyone is making the Suns out to be this 300 pound gorilla like their mascot. They are also a good to great team but in head to match ups vs. Spurs have proved sorely lacking.
They will try to bring it against Spurs again, but I expect another decisive Spurs win next meeting.
^I dont think we can ever count out the Pistons. They are the defending champs and I would say we are the underdog in a series against them. One thing to remember is that defense in the playoffs compared to defense in the regular season is like night and day. Yeah , the Suns won and thats a big win for them because Detroit is a good team and has been playing well lately, but in the Finals, they arent gonna be getting those open looks, as will the Spurs. If the Spurs and Pistons play in the Finals, its gonna be ALL defense most of the time.
Another thing to remember is that the Suns are playing at their best right now and have been the whole season. We all know(as do the Spurs)that our full potential still hasnt been reached. We have alot to work on, but we can get it done. Nazr seems to be a good bench player with good rebounding and defense. I can't wait for him to start playing more. But if we have beaten all these teams NOT playing at our full potential, thats pretty darn good. And yes, LakerGod is right-Ginobili isnt gonna get 48 points next meeting. Tim will (lol jk). I think we will be more prepared next time to where we dont have to make it a shoot out like last time. The Suns are a very good team with great offense, but their lack of defense is really a problem. They may make it to the Finals, and thats great for their fans, but I don't think they will win it.
However, I think the last two games have been PERFECT for our team(cleveland, chicago)-we have had tests on the road and at home where we NEEDED to make a shot and we did. Also, Duncan has made literally two game winners(he gave us the lead for good in the Bulls game), and that is good for his confidence. The Cleveland game was a big road win. Hopefully these things will give us some momentum to lead us to 100% before the playoffs.
LakerGeek, you need to buckle down on that remedial GED program right about now, giving a little more effort toward improving your punctuation, spelling and overall syntax.
Like D'Antoni has said if the Suns don't make it to the finals or a championship it will be because they are not good enough, not because their style is flawed in some way.
The Suns have added some quality depth over the past month and a half and Hunter and Barbosa are playing very well at times. The problem remains the same as it was when the season started, lack of size up front.
The Suns only have one consistant scorer inside on the front line and have none coming off the bench. The Suns do have Q who is very good in the post against other guards though he does not play down there much now.
The other issue is when you have a PG as your main scorer/facilitator you rely on the refs to blow the whistle too much. It is the same as it was with KJ. He was great in the regular season (when healthy) but when the playoffs came he would try to take it to the basket but many times contact is not called. You have to have someone that can finish the play despite the contact.
This is why the Suns now have a chance with Stoudemire but I think he is still a little young to lead this team to a championship or probably even a championship round this season.
It has been a great year and the games have been really fun to watch. Looking forward to how far the Suns can go in the playoffs without too high of an expectation for this young team.
^Being young is another major flaw of theirs. We saw that in the game we came back and won. They got too y and comfortable with their lead and they blew it. They may not be in the finals this year or next year, but I can see them in three years if they get some defense.
Yes and noone has ever heard of a team making the playoffs while in a rebuilding year, wait someone once won a campionship while rebuilding, but who was it?Now that my Lakers are on rebuilding mode and probably will not go far this season i will give my support to the Phoenix Suns

Their style is flawed...you never saw the Mavs win a le did you?
good point duff.
"their style is flawed in some way."
Their "style" is half-a-game, no defense.
Suns' unrelenting offense will bury you if your defense breaks down, as the Spurs and Pistons know. The Pistons defense failed last night in 4th as well as their offense. The Suns were ready, as they CONSISTENTLY are, and took the game.
I don't know about that, the Spurs did let them drop 120+ in the last game they just let PHO's unrelenting offense run out and then beat them at their own game which was awesome at the time, but now pop has been putting brown at the PF a bit too much.
Spurs pummeld Suns @SBC with defense, and then stole one from Suns @PHX by outscoring Suns offense, quite a feat.
Spurs playing like last night ain't gonna get it done next Wed night.
Very worrying that Spurs will fly to PHX after the Nets game @SBC. Damn, 2nd game of B2B. Let's hope the Nets game is an early and durable blowout so the bench can take over. We don't want no sh!t like the starters playing 38+ minutes, all of the 4th quarter.
At least the Spurs pick up an hour by flying west.
I wonder if the Pistons screwed up in the 4th @PHX because they were tired from the B2B?
The Spurs know this? How? Aren't we 2-0 against them?Suns' unrelenting offense will bury you if your defense breaks down, as the Spurs and Pistons know.
Their style is flawed. Anyone who relinquishes a 17 pt lead to a rival on their own homecourt isn't championship material. They are the NBA version of the Run and Shoot offense: great when it's working, but as the Oilers can tell you, when it's not, you give back the lead, even a huge one. It just puts too much pressure on the defense, and if that isn't very good to begin with, you crack and fold.
The only thing the Suns have in common with the Mavs is Steve Nash.
THE SUNS ARE NOT THE MAVS.
