ok that guys leg is really really really disturbing....but on the bright side i think tyrus hitting the open jump really opened up his game...i few open jumpers and he was driving and hitting floaters.....i think tyrus could take it to the next level by just working on first step dibble drive.....right now anytime he puts the ball on the floor it looks like it going to roll off his knee

I get how much this sucks and how pissed everyone is at how some of our guys played. But I get the feeling the team is going to base what they do with the players on how they played all season long, not how they played against the toughest opponent in the east.

If Orlando wins the championship, it does not make this series loss look as bad. I think we could've seriously won a series against any other team except the Cavs and Magic... but those are the two teams on another level PLUS the Magic are a huge nightmare matchup for us.

We got some valuable lessons, but if you think TT is worth another 1m because he showed up for one game and Felton is worthless because he looked like crap for 4 out of 70 something.... just think about it for a while.

When the dust settles, we probably have the same damn team next year, but I would hope there would be an improvement much in the way the Hawks improved when they got to the playoffs.

I sort of felt bad for Wallace and Jackson. Everyone besides them really lacked energy.

its all about perception rich. when agents and gms start talking contracts they will point to the playoffs and see TT having a great game and ray having a stinker. its not fair and not really a true reflection of their worth, but i think you are nuts if you dont think ray hurt his stock while tt helped his stock based on that last game. players get contracts all the time based on a few playoff games.

To dismiss Felton's series as "4 out of 70" is foolish. You're expected to bring your best for the playoffs. The way he and Diaw played this series was disgraceful. At least it was only Felton's first series. Boris has zero excuse.

Yea, Boris really let me down. I was really looking forward to one of the biggest selling points of PHX fans at the time, that he really plays well in a playoff series. Not true for us.
