Game 2 is tonight. Although I would love to see the Suns win the series, if they don't figure out a way to slow down Tony Parker they are going to lose. I still think the series will be close but PHX can't let Parker go off for 30 or so. Game 1 definitely could have gone either way. I love how people say PHX self-destructed without Nash......of course they did, he's the freakin' MVP. How do you suppose San Antonio would look without Duncan? The old Bulls without Jordan? The old Blazers without Walton...sup Dins?

Both teams did play good defense and frankly they made shots when they needed to. I'm looking forward to another entertaining game tonight. I think PHX gets it done in basically a must win situation.

So, in a thread in which you're getting pile-on for being fucking stupid, hardly leaving any room for others to insert plungers because of the number you already inserted yourself...

You thought "IKYABWAI" was a good way to go?

This is why you are a board bitch and a superlative tard.

That doesn't take too big a stretch of the imagination -- we got to see that about every other game.

Recently, Maurice Lucas has been on the record with "I told you so." This is in regards to keeping Moses Malone after the ABA dispersal. Luke thought the young'un was going to be quite the beast, and thought if the Blazers kept him, they could keep Walton's minutes way down, which would enable him to go on more regular championship runs. Maybe it was finances, maybe it was something else, but they dealt Malone before the season started. I think the rest is history. Walton had a meltdown on the medical staff and went to the Clippers(genius move), and The Great Butt went on to become one of the greatest to ever play.

Getting 'pile-on'? Is that what those mosquitoes are supposed to be?

And it should be piled-on, spellcheck boy.

HA!

I intentionally left the "d" off the end.

That's right -- I trolled you.

I now have a big fat pile of DioBODE.

See how that works, you fucking retard?

:roll: :roll: :roll:
I might actually buy that if you weren't such a fucking idiot. Not to mention tedious. Enjoy your 'piled-on', bitch.

As far as game 2 goes, one thing I liked in game 1 was having Bell and Marion defending Parker. They should continue with that. It won't keep him from scoring (nothing much will) but it should slow him down and make him take harder shots. They need to double Duncan earlier (especially if Amare is covering him-they can't afford to have him pick up early fouls).

Oh yeah, try to mix in a few rebounds. Letting your opponent get off five shots in one possession won't cut it.

Dinsdale · Post by **Dinsdale** » Tue May 08, 2007 7:31 pm

Wow. Just wow. The complete and utter lack of basketball knowledge just keeps coming...

First, I didn't realize the Suns had signed anyone named "Andre" for the playoff roster.

Second...yeah, better slow Parker and the Spurs down. I mean, everyone knows that the slower the game is played, the more the Suns thrive, right?

Great googly moogly.

As far as rebounding...you mean the Suns aren't a stellar rebounding team? With that cast of pussies? Who woulda thunk it? It's not the worst thing to give up offensive rebounds, so long as you're getting some back on the other end. But since Phoenix was THE WORST offensive rebounding team in the league, there's little hope of that.

There's another name for a players that don't crash the offensive glass in the playoffs...they're called "amateur golfers."

Doubling Duncan ain't going to do shit. Last ten years out front should have told you. To combat a dominant post player who can pass, you deny him position, and deny the entry. Who on the Dones is going to grind Duncan off the block? This Andre guy? Other than some player who has yet to make his debut in a Suns uni, I don't see that happening.

Diogenes · Post by **Diogenes** » Tue May 08, 2007 7:41 pm

Of course I meant Amare, dumbfuck. I was just trolling you again.

You anklebiters are so predictable.

Ah, that age old dilemma -- if a monumental fucking retard board bitch cries "anklebiter" in the forest, does anyone outside of Kansas City hear it?

Nice bounceback by Phx. They came out playing even better defensively. And 63 percent shooting in the last 3 quarters didn't hurt, either.

Game 3 should be interesting. Wish I could be there this year.

Diogenes · Post by **Diogenes** » Wed May 09, 2007 5:11 am

Puttting Kurt Thomas on Duncan was huge. Kept Amare out of foul trouble and made TD work for his points (which he was going to get anyway) without double teaming.

Is it Saturday yet?

Dinsdale · Post by **Dinsdale** » Wed May 09, 2007 5:27 pm

Great effort by the Suns. I thought that Thomas was going to sit early with foul trouble, but the normally wise Poppedtoomanyzits got away from abusing him down low. I thought that was a tactical error on his part. Other side of the coin, D'Antoni did a nice job of takling it at TD and getting him in foul trouble.

But...Phoenix had an outstanding game from the field. The Spurs had tight-rim-itis. If the same game plans were hypothetically executed in SA, home court has a strange way of loosening up the rims. Doesn't bode well for Phoenix.

I'm guessing that SA will have Duncan do two things a little differently from this game -- he'll post up low a lot more earlier in the game, and they'll have him be a little less aggressive on the bail-out defense. In order to win, the Spurs need to ride that horse as far as his legs will take them, and having him sitting on the bench with fouls isn't the way to do that. Maybe tighten up the defensive rotation a little bit to allow some of the "lesser players" to get in there and hack away as a last-line defense, rather than having Timmy try and make an ill-advised block attempt. Big Shot doesn't play many minutes, and has never seemed to have much problem committing "playoff-style" fouls.

And I've always been a fan of Bone Barry, even though he played for some teams I really hate, starting with college. But SA really needs to get something out of the guy. If nothing else, he's got 6 fouls to lend to the effort. Make them count.

This is by far the best matchup of the second round. GS/Utah is nothing more than fodder for the winner of Phoenix/SA(which will be SA), and NJ/LeEgos are vying to be humiliated by Detroit.

Exactly. He was one of the reasons the Spurs lost to Dallas last year, not so much because of his defensive skills, or lack thereof, but dude couldn't hit shit from shinola. Game 2 didn't exactly look promising on the Barry front. He seems to have certain games where he's got it, especially at home ... we'll see in the next two games.

Spot on.

"Chippy" was the word I was thinking to describe the game tonight. Disney/ABC/ESPN stole my word, of course.

What a wild game. A few questionable non-calls against Nash and an obvious one against Ginobili.

What was up with keeping Bell and Barbosa out of the game for the majority of the second half?

At any rate, Duncan was a monster tonight ... hell, SA was a three-headed monster with Parker in the first half, Duncan, and Ginobili in the third quarter. About time he showed up.

To say Monday's game is going to be huge would be a gross understatement.

Diogenes · Post by **Diogenes** » Sun May 13, 2007 9:28 am

Chippy is a great word to describe Saturday's game. PHX definitely spent too much time whining. Personally I think they have been on the short-end of the officiating, but that's basketball.....they need to get tougher and quit bitching so much. Stoudemire's foul trouble was really a big factor in the game Saturday and it's a crapshoot as to whether or not he can stay out of trouble tonight. If he does, I think PHX wins...if he rides the bench, PHX won't win....to me it's as simple as that.

This is a very big game for both team's tonight and it will be interesting to see how it plays out.

Is Bowen going to be playing? I heard he might be in a little trouble for his "accidental" knee on Saturday.....Of course that may or may not be true.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to a great game tonight. Should be fun.

He's playing.

I figure I'll have at least several dozen more gray hairs after tonight. Fuck, this series has been nerve-racking enough ... and now, this game could determine the whole thing.

The key for SA will be to do what they did through most of the first three quarters of last game: Deny Nash the passing lanes on defense, and continue to get Duncan some help offensively, ala Parker and Ginobili, and to a lesser extent, Horry and Finley.

Tipoff at 8:50 p.m. CT, btw, according to the Spurs' network.
