Around the NBA, 2009 PLAYOFFS

True enough BurningHeart. Also the Cavs series went like that for a few games also.

--- Doesn't matter what happens this year or how many rings Kobe ends up with. He'll never be up there with MJ, Magic, Bird, Kareem in the eyes of fans and as judged by history ... no matter how many jerseys he sells aroudn the world he's just not a beloved player the way those other guys are. He's just too much of a creep, personally.
No denying he's one of the great players in history but there've just been too many instances of him being completely about Kobe - the Shaq feud, the game 7 with us, the parking lot rant, on and on - that will always tarnish him.Just who he is and how it is.

All I have to say is that the Suns were down to the Lakers 3-1 and came back and one. I believe in Magic.

It makes me physically SICK that this series should be 3-1 Orlando.

A made layup and a made free throw and it is 3-1 Orlando. Reminds me of how the suns would lose all those game against the spurs. We really need a solid season next year to rid ourselves of all these bad memories.

I couldn't care less about the Kobe thing.

My hatred for LA goes far beyond basketball, and it's going to make me sick when they win.

A short nap for me and up to the game I go. After all the Magic must close out to win right. Ugh, the sound of that makes me want to vomit. Come on now show us all that resilience everyone was so pumped up about.

Tastic time to get on troll patrol.

[Mr. Sun]

Michael Heisley's gift just keeps on giving.

TASTIC summed it up for me.

[BurningHeart]

Physical SICKNESS.

Hi guys. Just curious to hear your thoughts after watching game 4. What are the primary emotions you are feeling? Please explain in detail, as hateful as you'd like. Thanks.

Consider this a friendly warning. Remember you're on the Suns board, we don't go onto the Lakers forum and start crap for no reason....

Good day sir

How was that post "starting crap". Is it not fact Suns fans hate the Lakers? I meant that in a friendly rivalry way. I really was curious what you guys were thinking. Anyway best of luck in the offseason. See you in 09-10.

Cause you were rubbing it in on our board. Enjoy your championship because you won't be getting one again now that kobe is going to get over 30 million a year loool. Ariza sure will look nice in our orange jerseys.

Come on...you seriously need to ask that? You may not have come on saying "Na na na na naaah na" but you may as well have. Clearly you'd know how we feel, if we came onto the Lakers board after the Suns winning/Lakers didn't make the playoffs, how would you take it?

Exactly

[JohnVancouver]

Well, isn't that just the perfect end to a perfectly sh*tty year?

Man, I wish we had picked up Pietrus instead of Barnes.

I will say that while it seems like most here on the board hate the Suns in sum, I really just hate Kobe.
And I've developed a real dislike for Jackson,. which is funny because I remember pulling for him when he was coming back from his spinal fusion surgery when he was with the Knicks. So I had a soft spot for the guy for many years.

Be interesting to see who they keep as the Lakers are facing a big tax bill. I hope someone offers Ariza a BIG payday, that is if we can't get him.


Also - poor Ammo, in civvies at the end of the bench while Reddick is getting minutes in the Finals. That's got to hurt.
