Maybe but I doubt Walsh would pull the trigger. Also I think D"Antoni liked D.Lee because he's an excellent playmaker from the post, kind of like Diaw.

Re: WCF - Suns vs Lakers
I think the lakers are expecting the suns to try to steal one from LA. The lakers have been getting open shots but they are missing them. Its hard to expect that type of game from LA in LA. I think if the suns plan to steal this one, they cant allow the game to get away from them in the first quarter. they have not defended the lakers well after coming out of that tunnel -both at home and away.

gut check time suckas!

Have to agree. I like our chances of winning Game 5 a lot more then trying to win Game 7.

LMAO! I probably would too if I didn't get off 3 hours prior though. That's some devotion right there, good fan haha.

Read the bottom right side of the page for 'fan' voting. Since ESPN moved to LA, I can't decide who to hate more. The Lakers // ESPN and/or (JJ Adande aka I can't write an article for ****)

Re: WCF - Suns vs Lakers
Don't worry. Fan voting goes by who won last night. Always. Most people there thought Orlando could actually win the series after they won 2 straight.
And I don't think anybody deep in their hearts believe Suns can win. Just us.

Re: WCF - Suns vs Lakers
Congrats on a great season guys.
I do hope that everything works out in the off-season and the organization puts something around Nash other than Amare. You need someone that is going to be more aggressive (Bosh would be great, IMO) and just plays better defense, so he's about the only change I'd make. Nash deserves a real shot at a title, and I have nothing but admiration and respect for him, especially after this series. Despite being an old fart (and I say that being his age), he clearly has a good 2-3 more years left at a high level.
As for Hill, I was impressed with his defense and in spurts, his offense. He might just have a couple more solid seasons left as well, and he's a very classy guy that any team could use if for no other reason than having a solid veteran leader. Really, I don't think there's much you need to change on the offensive end as the Suns offense was rated 2nd -- ALL-TIME -- with only the peak Showtime Lakers having a higher rated offense. That says something right there.
The young bucks have no doubt gotten a lot out of this series so perhaps you guys will be better prepared next year. That's especially true for Dragic and Lopez, the heart and soul of your bench.
Anyway, let's do it again next year.
