The Wiz really should have won that game today, they missed a ridiculous amount of open shots in the fourth.

Phoenix chokes as usual. Lmao at that blown layup by Diaw at the end.

Glad to see Diaw fail during times like those. I laughed after reading his lips.

It was still an excellent game!

Yeah the Spurs game started off real slow, but took off in the 2nd half. I was hoping for a 3rd overtime it was so good. I have to give Duncan props for that 3 point shot. The guy acts like a terminator, but he's got some balls of steel.

This Houston-Utah game has been a war. But Utah really look like a much better team. It really feels like they have this in complete control.

Anyone else a little pissed at D'Antoni for not fouling and allowing the Spurs to shoot a 3 at the end? Even if it was Duncan who hit that miracle shot - you can't even let a team attempt a 3 in that spot. That game crushed me. A Suns-Lakers conference finals would be so fantastic. Watching the Spurs is so agonizingly boring.

I'm not pissed at D'Antoni, I love it when the Suns lose.

^ Why???

How can you root against guys like Shaq, Nash, Amare, Raja (if only for his clothesline on Kobe), and Grant Hill???

I used to like the Suns, but their fans were out of control with saying how Stern fixed the series last year. I used to cheer for the Suns, but I just can't do it anymore.

Raps down 10 after 3, I wonder if the scorekeepers took away points away from them and that's why they're behind?

Philly wins 90-86 against Detroit. Looks like another exciting series to pay close attention to.

Suns vs. Spurs top 10 game in the last 20 years.

I'm still amazed Tim Duncan knocked down that 3 pointer so gracefully.

That's what superstars do. If you give TD the ball in a key situation, he's going to be a threat to make the shot no matter where he is on the floor.

Cavs are giving the Wiz trouble. Washington is such a soft team, I hate it when teams get beaten simply because they lack toughness.

I'm really sick of Washington running their mouth. Cleveland may just shut them up for good tonight.
