gosh, phoenix feels so 'fairtaley.' marion is a warrior, and when all is said and done i get the feeling that la will universally hate bell like schwarzaneger hates the word 'inevitable.'

Beautiful. Suns totally proved me wrong...I didn't see them pulling out the win in the second OT.

Yay!

I get the feeling that no matter what happens tim thomas will be a sun next year... even if it means less money. Can you imagine what this same team can do WITH amare? scary.

someone needs to get a screenshot of the look on cassell's butt ugly alien snot face right before he realizes he's being called for 8 seconds :lol: classic. Raja bell will forever be in my heart because of these playoffs. funny thought.... he should change his number to 8 :D

It was good, but it sure wasn't as good as game 6 vs. LA

Do you think the suns are the cinderella team? I get the feeling this clipepr team is much more a fairytale story, considering their history.

I guess you are right.... they weren't the 'underdog' considering they are technically the 2 seed, but the fashion in which they are winning is very fairytale-like imo.

Double OT loss, thats going to really sting. Next games a must win now and I hope we can finish it off in 4 quarters and not let it slip to an extra two. :cry:

I figured that much after he nearly broke his jaw in round 1.

Kudos to both teams for putting up a thriller but congrats to the Suns, well played Shawn Marion and nice shot by Raja. Dallas vs. Suns rematch is nearly here and really looking forward to it.

Clippers have some problems they need to address. Radmanovic didn't make enough shots to justify his court time....he just got burnt repeatedly on the defensive end and Phx really capitalized on that.

Cassell is being targeted at the defensive end too.......2 really bad defensive PG's going at each other, neither can hold the other down.

I really wanted it go to a third overtime but nevertheless a fantastic game to watch, a great battle and performance by both teams but congrats to the Suns getting the victory; a shame someone had to lose that one. Some sloppiness at the end of regulation but the drama of the double OT more than made up for it.

How about Livingston, that kid reminds me of Jason Kidd.....he hustles hard, plays very good defence and has an excellent feel for the game.

Barring injures, he's a HoF talent. Give him a reliable midrange game, ten more quality pounds and he'll take this team places.

that seems a little contradictory- not strong enough and terrible shooter yet already is a Hall of Famer talent?!

Doug Collins certainly loves Livingston lol

off-topic, but can anyone find me a picture of Tim Thomas pulling his jersey after hitting the 3 in Game 6 with the Lakers? I can't find it anywhere.

Predicting this series is so hard. And both teams amazed me through the series. So it's hard to decide which team I'd like to advance.

I don't know about that, I predicted a 7 game series with the Suns prevailing. I'm halfway to an accurate prediction, no mean feat with the jinx that hangs over my predictions. :P

if the clippers make it to the finals, is it the biggest upsets ever? they beat the suns, and the spurs or mavericks then

It would be up there but the 1995 champion Rockets as well as the 1981 Rockets, 1999 Knicks and 1976 Suns (all Finalists) are probably examples of bigger upsets.
