With the exceptions of #24 (8) and Odom, the Lakers starting lineup would be on the bench if they played for a lot of other NBA teams. And I say that as a longtime Laker fan.

ejp626 Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 As if we needed more confirmation that some of these ballers are idiots. The game's not over until the buzzer sounds, guys. It's bad enough when the other team steals the ball and makes an impossible shot, but when you just turn it over to them ... WASHINGTON - Chris Bosh had a huge start and an even bigger finish. Bosh scored eight of his 37 points in overtime, and the Toronto Raptors remained in the third spot in the Eastern Conference playoff race with a 123-118 victory over the Washington Wizards on Friday night. The Wizards appeared to have a victory secured until Michael Ruffin’s celebratory heave toward the rafters landed in the hands of Raptors guard Morris Peterson, whose 3-pointer from 31 feet tied the score at 109 as the horn sounded ending regulation. ... Ruffin intercepted Anthony Parker’s inbounds pass from underneath the Wizards’ basket near midcourt and flung the ball high into the air with 1.1 seconds left. “It was just a natural reaction to throw it in the air,” Ruffin said. “I was thinking the time would run out. I guess there ended up being more time than I expected, and I didn’t have a good hold on the ball. I threw it off my palm.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Al Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 Mark my words: this will be the year that Steve Nash makes Mark Cuban regret ever getting rid of him. As good as the Mavs are, Steve Nash (and Stoudemire, too) is THE reason the Mavs will go down in history as being like the '98 (?) Mariners, when they won 114 games and lost in the first round. Like I said before, mark my words. No joke: Suns turn rematch into a laugher By ART GARCIA Star-Telegram Staff Writer PHOENIX -- Depending on who's asking, the significance of what took place Sunday afternoon is either vast or nonexistent. Sounds about right. The Suns came into the latest chapter of the NBA's most exciting rivalry needing to win for their mental welfare, not to mention their Western Conference standing. The Mavericks maintained all along this game matters little down the road. So after the Suns took a shockingly easy 126-104 win at a playoff-frenzied US Airways Center and knotted the regular-season series 2-2, what really changed? "That's all it is, a season series, and we split," Jerry Stackhouse said. "It doesn't have anything to do with much. We still have a pretty comfortable lead. We just have to go out and close out the regular season the way we should, and we'll see what happens. "We know this is a team we could very well face again, but a lot has to happen for that to happen, on our side and their side. So it's been some great games, but unfortunately for us, they won the last couple. I'm sure their confidence is high about matching up with us, but we know we're better than what we showed." Can it be summed up better? Despite having their nine-game winning streak snapped, the Mavs (61-12) hold a six-game lead for the No. 1 playoff seed over Phoenix (55-18) with nine games left. The Suns, though, own two wins over the Mavs sandwiched around a 4-4 stretch in the span of 18 days. Considering the West leaders have three losses since Jan. 27, it's understandable why Steve Nash said his team has regained a level of confidence in recent weeks. "Not just for Dallas, just because we need that [confidence] back," Nash said. "Since the last time we played them, we've been inconsistent and disappointing. We need to start stringing some performances together to help that good feeling." Phoenix did that Sunday by beating the Mavs to the punch. Avery Johnson accused his team of not showing up and not concentrating, all the while complimenting the Suns on executing their game plan. "They deserved to win," the Mavs coach said. Nash orchestrated another superb floor game, working the pick-and-roll to perfection. Open looks were there for everyone, as the small-ball Suns had four players score at least 20 -- Amare Stoudemire, Shawn Marion, Leandro Barbosa and Nash -- and shot 64.8 percent from the floor, the best single-game mark in the NBA this season. "They really had us going both ways," Dirk Nowitzki said. "Everybody was really struggling. To allow 50 points in the paint, we never really found a way to contain their offense." Nowitzki never found his, missing 12 of 18 shots, but the Mavs were down just five (93-88) with 9 1/2 minutes left. Shooting flurries from Josh Howard, Jerry Stackhouse and Jason Terry helped offset Nowitzki's struggles, and it appeared another close finish was in the works, just like the previous three meetings. But it never happened. A 9-1 spurt built on a Barbosa 3-pointer, and six points coming in the paint, pushed the Suns' lead up to 102-89, and the Mavs never threatened again. Compounding the loss, the Mavs didn't escape in the best shape. Already playing without an injured Erick Dampier (sore left shoulder), the Mavs had Nowitzki turn his left ankle for the second time in five days after he landed on Marion's foot in the fourth quarter. Howard needed four stitches to close a gash over his left eye from a Barbosa elbow. The Mavs will move on and, they promised, take something from their worst loss since the 101-79 setback Dec. 11 at Utah. "Obviously, we don't like to lose," Devin Harris said. "We learned a little something about ourselves. We're not invincible." THE DIFFERENCE The main reasons why the Suns scorched the Mavs on Sunday: Hot shots: Whether it was substandard Mavs defense or simply outstanding offense, the Suns shot 64.8 percent from the floor and 57.1 percent from 3-point range. Depleted depth: Many consider the Mavs the deepest team in the league, but they didn't show it. Dirk Nowitzki, Jason Terry, Josh Howard and Jerry Stackhouse combined for 94 points; the rest of the team had 10. Dirk struggles: Dirk Nowitzki hit his first two shots of the game, but then shot 4-of-16 the rest of the way, finishing with 21 points. He pulled down just six rebounds and tweaked his left ankle again in the fourth quarter. The Amare effect: In his past two games against the Mavs, Amare Stoudemire has posted 65 points on 26-of-32 shooting and collected 19 rebounds. IN THE KNOW Four-checked The Suns were too hot to handle Sunday, shooting an NBA season-best 64.8 percent. Leandro Barbosa, Amare Stoudemire, Steve Nash and Shawn Marion combined for 96 points on 68.6 percent field-goal shooting. A look at Phoenix's big four: Player FG FT Pts Barbosa 10-17 5-6 29 Stoudemire 10-13 4-4 24 Nash 7-11 7-7 23 Marion 8-10 4-4 20 Totals 35-51 20-21 96 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy Berger Posted April 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 (edited) Pistons can't be looking forward to a second round matchup with Chicago, Cleveland or Miami. Hopefully Arenas will make it back in time for the playoffs. The Wizards were going to lose in the first round anyway, but without him they will get creamed.

Jim R Posted April 8, 2007 Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 Clips lost last night... if the Warriors win at least 4 out of their next 5 games, they have a real shot at making the playoffs. Hopefully they didn't expend too much energy in that respectable loss @ San Antonio tonight. Baron didn't look good when he went off toward the end. At least they've got the toughest of the remaining opponents (Utah, Minnesota and Dallas) back at the Oracle. Not only do the starters have to continue to play well, we're going to have to get more from the bench guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Posted April 8, 2007 Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 Gervin, Duncan, and Robinson are unquestionably the top 3. I was surprised that Ginobili, Parker, Elliot, and Avery Johnson were all in the top 8, but I guess who else are you going to place that high?

Noj Posted April 8, 2007 Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 I remember Sean Elliot would have at least one really hard dunk every time the Spurs came to town. Avery Johnson just about single-handedly killed the Lakers one year in the playoffs, he must have shot 80% from the floor. I love Ginobili's crafty takes to the basket.
