We're still trying to figure out why referee Steve Javie tossed both Jarret Jack and Brian Skinner for this little confrontation.

Anybody think that Marks earned some playing time over Skinner if Shaq + STAT get in foul trouble.

Chris do you expect Utah to beat the Rockets and the Lakers? Utah doesn't have HCA in either of those series.

Because this is the NBA, there is little reason in anything ref's do.

What Planet are you people from?

If we meet the Jazz in the WCF and the Suns had lost this game ...they would have the Home Court Advantage! Wake up!

Good effort from the bench

Gary Bender...Eddie Johnson(usually love is color call) really screwed up by not conveying the importance of winning this game.

No! I did not want Nash or Shaq to return, but come on! Having home court agist Utah is HUGE!

And if the Suns had lost this game and were facing the Jazz without the HCA...then "just blowing it off" would've been ok?

Bottom Line:
Poor sports broadcasting by the Suns.

In the post game it still hasn't been metioned ...poor

No -- Marks gets absolutely zzzzzero respect from the refs. Dude can't breathe without getting a call fouled on him.

Now, if we needed him at PF, that would be a different thing. I actually think that during the playoffs, blowout circumstances would have this as our best lineup:

Skinner (C) - Inside banging
Marks (PF) - Inside/outside
Tucker (SF) - Slasher
Piat (SG) - Bomber
DJ (PG) - Point

It's a pretty complete team, considering.
