Hey Suns fan

Brian in Mesa · April 30th, 2006, 05:48 PM

Thanks for being civil before the series started.

Thanks for being passionate NBA fans.

Thanks for calling us out on your board.

No thanks for cussing us out and demanding we leave when things didn't go your team's way.

Thanks for being an ass after our team was robbed of a win by poor officiating. It takes a lot of class....you tool!

Renz...are you sure your mom and dad know you are on their computer? Isn't it nap time?

I've read countless threads on this since yesterday, there are some Laker fans who are truly gracious that they were GIVEN all the breaks down the stretch in this one, but for some reason, the immature little girls on this board don't seem to be too gracious in victory.

Please. All we've heard since yesterday is, "We got jobbed!" "The NBA is fixed!" Waah, waah, waah! I haven't seen much credit given to Smush for that great steal or to Kobe for those two huge clutch shots.

I guess the refs and David Stern are responsible for those plays also.

No, the plays were great......the refs are responsible for allowing Kobe to be in that situation in the first place.

Nothing against Kobe, he made 2 amazing shots that were clutch......point being, on the 2nd one for sure, he shouldn't have been given that opportunity.

The media is talking about just as much as Suns fans...and half give credit to LA and most don't blame the refs.

Not very many are blaming the refs for it as far as I can tell...

You know, there were some crap calls there at the end, yes. The first steal on Nash was clean, IMO...great play on the ball by a guy who's made some big steals this year.

On the jump ball call I was shocked...looked like a foul at first, then Luke grabbed at the ball. I can't believe Nash wasn't calling for the TO though, he dribbled up court into a trap. Shocking all around...just a weird play by him and no-call on a foul then call of a jump ball.

But no Suns fans were upset that he blatantly shoved off before getting that ball and racing up court...that was clear.

And on Kobe's mile high drop shot, a case can be made on a body foul by Diaw and on reverse angle, Raja grabbing at his waist. Could have been an and-one (and right to no call it for a potential winner FT, IMO)

Honestly, I think Luke probably got away with two fouls, at the end of regulation and at the end of the game..but you play it as it lies. BTW, that was a brilliantly run play with .7 left in regulation, from an execution standpoint it was amazing.

I didn't want to post until well after the game on this stuff...emotions are too high and no reason to poke you guys with a stick after we stole one in bizarre fashion.

I remain impressed with how the Lakers are controlling the tempo of these games..as I mentioned at the outset of this series I knew they COULD but didnt know if they WOULD.

Regardless of officiating beefs, Suns fans should admit that the Lakers are playing the Suns far better than they thought they would. The Lakers are playing playoff, physical basketball.

Game 5 better be a war...I'm going to be there.

Obviously the refs managed to rig the voting too.

I don't know what's more embarrassing. The weak Laker smack or the wussification of Suns fans.

No not the refs but the fact that there are 10 times as many Lakers fans rigging any voting that has to do with the Lakers.

As predicted, here is Suns fan now calling out Lakers fan on their board - because they won the game...

http://www.arizonasportsfans.com/vb/...ad.php?t=72260

Many of us diehard Lakers fans have been saying all along that the series was far from over, even at 3-1. Now they act like they're telling us something new.

Congrats on the win.

Good luck on Sunday.
