phoenix vs. nuggets ( 3 OT )

Wed Jan 11, 2006 3:06 pm

good game so far.

the announcers need to go fuck a goat. theyre biased as shit and it's fucking annoying. they're bitching and moaning, and complaining about everything phoenix does. melo flops, and they praise melo for his acting abilities. steve nash goes in for a layup in traffic and they complain of a travel. shut the fuck up, seriously.

i agree, the announcers can go to hell, they are too bias and are not being fair to the Suns. Blame all they can to the officials, but don't blame it to the Suns. If it wasn'ta fair call, blame the offiicals, it's not like the Nuggets aren't doing the same.

Deal with it... all local stations are biased... and Atitude sports caters to Denver fans first, so you can expect it to be biased... as are all other stations except perhaps TNT or ESPN.

That aside though, it was the best game of the year... 'Melo hitting the GW shot after getting kneed in the face..... exciting finish!

Wed Jan 11, 2006 3:22 pm

omg....i'm sooooo happy right now...i jumped and almost touched the ceiling with my head when Anthony drained that game winner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This should be the best game of the year!!!

not true. try watching some raptors games. sure, they sound enthused when a raptor hits a clutch basket, but they also show the same amount of enthusiasm when the other team scores a critical basket. i've seen lakers, magic games too and the bias is not CLEARLY EVIDENT than the game i witnessed tonight. these announcers were bitching and moaning for christ sakes. jesus christ.

I'd rather spare myself the torture :)

it's not that i didn't like that fact that they were cheering for their on team, but it's the fact that they were bashing the suns. One time one of the announcers said

"this is what you get when you are the MVP, one extra step" after steve nash took 3 steps on a a lay up toward the end of the 4th. Nash had to do what he needed to do. If he didn't take that extra step, it might have been a turn over anyways, so might as well give it a shot. Nash didn't know the officials weren't gonna call it. The announcer shouldn't have directed their "anger" or frastruation. It wasn't Nash's fault, it was the official's fault. They can still be home team cheering announcers without these type of comments.

It was a very good game though. I still have to complain about the officiating though. The refs just missed a lot of calls, and many calls shouldn't have been called. Denver did a good job despite of that. I was hoping for 4th over time, or whatever you call it, cause i've never seen one.

I've never seen even a 2OT game.

what is it with phoenix and thriple overtimes...

im filling all my fantasy teams with phoenix starters :lol:

Wed Jan 11, 2006 7:38 pm

Damn it, If only Amare was playing, he would be giving me some fantasy team stats, but no, he's injured

Wed Jan 11, 2006 7:43 pm

Melo has been playing great clutch minutes the past 3 games hitting 3 (almost) buzzer beaters. :wink:

Yeah, MVP players always get the benefit of the doubt... MJ certainly did. I think that's a pretty well-known thing.

Steve Nash is one of the better guys in the league (personality) so I don't have anything against him... but i really do think he got away with one

wow, that was the very thing that pissed me off the most. they were genuinely being cry babies when they showed that replay. what pissed me off even more was when they praised melo for getting away with a push two or three plays before. fucking idiots...

Thu Jan 12, 2006 8:06 am

the one where he came from behind was nuts. i didn't even see him in the play and out of nowhere i see this white dude jump like josh smith and smacked the ball against the backboard. im surprised that block didn't make the TOP 10 highlights in NBA.com. . .

I've been watching lots of Nuggets games lately and Najera is a very good player. He may not score lots but he does absolutely everything else.

I would love to have him play for the Nets. I was pretty surprised when Dallas let him go because he has always played like this.

And those blocks were sick.

There were actually a lot of bad calls towards Denver that game. Not that the refs were deliberately doing it, but it happened. Phoenix has some bad calls, but not as many as Denver did. I mean before Nash fouled out he had 2 no calls, but obviously no calls because you don't want to give a player his last foul on weak calls. Earl Watson got called out of bounds when he was on his tip toes, and through the game, James Jones had a little too many fouls on 3's, and one was actually a 2.

Najera played great for them, he also had a steal against Nash, and had the one hustle offensive rebound and layup, nice role player.

It was a very nice game though, Melo is really solidifying himself as a clutch player, and Boykins is just a beast. Denver had some problems rebounding though, and it could've hurt them more than it actually did.

what a great game canada picked up!

the announcers just kept going on and on about the james jones thing, they mustve showed the replay for the one that shoulve been only a 2 like 4 times, and then they started complaining that jones shouldve been called for an offensive foul becuase his feet were sticking out or something, it was annoying

Thu Jan 12, 2006 2:21 pm

FUCK!

It was a damn-good game. Boykins and his little pump fakes...STUPID! Jame Jones flying through the air at everyone...STUPID!

Whatever, good game.

I watched a lot of the final overtime in split screen because Scrubs was on.

Thu Jan 12, 2006 3:15 pm

speaking of boykins, for a guy that's only 5'5 he's not a bad defender..
