Guest Report post Posted April 30, 2006 This thread is quickly descending into close territory. Come on guys, if the referees really wanted the Lakers to win, they wouldn't have had him sit out the entire 2nd quarter. I can agree that the Lakers had NO business being around in the game, but that's the fault of the Suns for letting Smush Parker get the three to begin the whole skirmish. The refs have never called fouls late, ever in any series. That's just the way it works, regardless of which teams are in it. Odom was fouled on that layup where Jones got some contact on Lamar's wrist, but they didn't call anything. It happens, get the fuck over it. If the Suns had any ability to close it out, that would have been the end of the game. That's not even to mention the shitty coaching job that D'Antoni's done. He hasn't made very many adjustments, except for noticing that they need to try to get Diaw on the block against Vujacic or Parker. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snuffbox 0 Report post Posted April 30, 2006 So...when did TSM start allowing all pbp's back into the fold? Since we made a "no PBPs" rule. Yeah I don't get it either. Awful. I hope TSM doesnt make me un-ignore johnson. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
naiwf 0 Report post Posted May 1, 2006 That's not even to mention the shitty coaching job that D'Antoni's done. It's hard to believe that he was last year's COTY after examining this series. The guy hasn't made a single adjustment yet. I don't know who it is that said it earlier in the thread, but his point that mediocre teams make bad decisions down the stretch applies to Phoenix. If Nash dribbles straight up the middle on either final Phoenix possession in the 4th or OT, this game ends with him making two FT's and going home with a chance to take a 3-2 lead. Instead, the "greatest leader in the game" and "the best point guard in the NBA" led his team to defeat by making a bush league move twice (trapping himself along the midcourt line AND sideline) in approximately 5:05 game time.

Guest Kobe24KGold Report post Posted May 1, 2006 BTW, in the post game interview, Nash admitted that not only did he not call timeout, but he wasn't fouled, either. That puts an end to that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brett Favre 0 Report post Posted May 1, 2006 The first one was an inbound pass that was quickly deflected on a reach in by Parker, and the 2nd one, he did dribble to the middle, but the Lakers crowded him and started humping him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted May 1, 2006 Unless Nash falls out of bounds due to contact, there's no way in hell they're calling anything. Even then, they may not. The referees always put the whistles away. It's been like that as long as I can remember. The referees sure didn't do shit to help the Lakers beat the Pistons in 2004.

Judging by your last few posts, you don't know how the fucking NBA works, how many refs there are in a game, and where they are assigned on the floor, so give it a rest. It's been proven clearly that there was no foul on the play, and the highlight will be shown countless more times for those who haven't seen it, but there will always be people (like you) who whine no matter what.

UZI Suicide 0 Report post Posted May 1, 2006 Ok, so you either can't read, can't see, or are just too stupid to know any better. WATCH the fucking highlight dude. TNT showed it clear as day, there was no foul committed. You cannot watch the clip TNT showed and honestly tell me there was any sort of foul on the play.

Guest Report post Posted May 1, 2006 Miami has star quality that far surpasses what the Lakers have, which by your logic, the league should want them to win against Chicago. Either way, I'll leave that argument alone for now. I watched D'Antoni's entire press conference as well as everyone else's, he did NOT complain about the call once.

Or 3-1 LAL in a series Ripper declared a cakewalk for Phoenix? That good enough? Or the name on the front of Kobe's jersey meaning he gets preferential treatment. Or Nash's team being better during the regular seasion BECAUSE of Nash which is what the MVP is based off of? Or a 6 ft. white guy being able to even be considered in a sport that is dominated by giant more athletic black men? Yeah I'm happy Nash has the MVP. I'm also happy Kobe's image has been tarnished due to the whole rape case and Shaq fiasco and he probably won't ever get it back no matter how much ESPN goes on about him. Or the fact that unless they get some help he'll probably never win another title(i love that one most of all). Yeah I hate Kobe Bryant and the Lakers. He can rot in hell for all I care. Him dunking on Nash doesn't prove shit except that he's bigger and can jump higher. Oh boy. There's 50 guys in the league that can probably dunk on Nash.

Guest StylesMark Report post Posted May 1, 2006 Probably more like 70. Nash WAS the MVP of the regular season, yes, as he should have been. Without him, the Suns would have been SHIT. But, MVP of the regular season has nothing to do with the playoffs. Trust me, I'm a Yankees fan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I haven't heard one fucking thing about the rape case within the last month until now, proving that theory bunk. The Lakers are one of the youngest teams in the NBA, there's no way they won't get close to a title (at the very least) when their core develops. Yeah I hate Kobe Bryant and the Lakers.
