Wadding, is that seriously what you have to say? Is that all you got? No excuses for your loss? How bout you just admit the better team beat you, and not make 3rd grade retarded jokes.

No, because I don't make excuses for my team like you do. We didn't play good enough defense. La La La La La Mamba was utterly unstoppable (and Raja not making him do shit on defense didnt really help). So we lost. The Lakers are not the better team. The better team doesn't get bounced every year in the first round. Sorry.

... Last year's team is not the same as this year's team if you haven't noticed. Adding Fisher and Gasol has changed everything. Also, our bench is playing phenomenal.

That'd be like comparing championship banners in the building. But i mean, if you wanna do that.... see Wadding, this Laker team is better than the Suns. The only team i think may be superior (and only because they play great, almost flawless ball together) is the Spurs. regardles...you lost cuz you lost. Dont pin it on phantom defense that never existed. |

Wow, I didn't know that a team that doesn't play defense could hold the best team in the NBA to 77 points...

I like the Lakers odds at this point, but I still think the Suns are just as good, and over a series it could go either way. The Suns play good D, they just run such a fast O, that they give up alot of points in return. Spurs added Damon Stoudemire and Kurt Thomas, which is far less flashy than any of their rivals, but the kind of solid moves that put them over the top again. I do not think there is a better run organization in any sport? Maybe the Pats in the NFL.

The Celtics shot like crap last night and still played good enough defense not to get blown out by one of the top offenses in the game. make it to the finals and play like that and you'll get swept by Boston or Detroit. That being said, I don't see Phx making it to the west finals never mind the nba finals. |

So your saying if the Suns play like they did (beating Boston) in the finals, they will get beat by boston? Doesnt make sense. Suns clamped down for once and gritted one out, just admit it. |

Hahahaha
I love when the "Well, the better team didn't win tonight" argument comes up when somebody's team loses. Most of the time, it is followed by a few other excuses. I also love how you guys are talking about the Suns not playing defense and then allows a top 10 offense a mere 77 points. I ALSO find it funny that Laker fans are saying Phoenix doesn't play defense, yet Phoenix only allows a mere 2 points or so more than the Lakers. Yeah, what's that say about your team? The ironic fact of the game is that Phoenix didn't even play that well offensively. They turned the ball over 20+ times and they are normally a great team with the ball. And, they STILL won. The difference in the game was that Boston got DOMINATED on the boards. Shaq and.....GRANT HILL almost had more boards than the WHOLE Boston team. Grant Hill!!! PS - Suns missed Barbosa after he got that shot from P squared. A lot of chippiness was shown from the Celts. I guess the stellar defense frustrated them. ![]() I also saw a few people talk about the Suns "not making it to the finals because they don't play defense". I believe everyone knows why they didn't make it to the finals last year, and it had NOTHING to do with defense. |

to clarify, my comments about the Suns not being a better team then the Celtics really had nothing to do with either team and everything to do with Wadding saying that the Lakers were not better then the Suns even though they had just beat the Suns.
That being said, I don't see the Suns beating boston in a 7 game series... They don't play great defense, but they are a good scoring team. The addition of Shaq with a focus on "just get rebounds" if a big help for the Suns, but I still think it's Boston or Detroit this year. |

Wow, Suns got DESTROYED. Rasheed Wallace had his way with the Suns front court. No defence was played whatsoever at any point in time by Pheonix. I guess you can give them credit for keepin it within 30.

We the Detroit Pistons would like to say thank you for coming to the game tonight. Should we meet in the NBA finals, we will gladly let you win 1 game so you can keep your pride. However, if you play like this in the playoffs against any other team, you will not make it to the finals. Sincerely, Splaya |

and they beat the Spurs w/o Garnett... so lets just end the season now and "crown them".
can't wait for the playoffs... just got my order form.. 1st round goes up $10, 2nd round $20, East Finals $30.00 and if they make the finals the tickets double. |

They wont beat Boston or Detroit in 4 out of 7 games. |

I dont think Boston can stop SA with a healthy Parker, Ginobili, and Duncan in a 7 game series.

No. Nash oversold it.
Noone told Amare and Diaw to try and start shit either. Even after they came back too... they couldnt do anything. Even when Horry was still suspended. |
