NBA Week 8 - 2007/2008

[Gridlock'd]

Some big games today.

Orlando v Dallas

San Antonio v Pheonix

Should both be rippers. Ive got my money on the Spurs and the Mavs.

 

[tonywce23]

Dwight Howard carrying the Magic on his back, 16 pts in the first quarter

 

[PHX]

Half way through the 2nd and we've only shot 3 3FGs. Finally a change in gameplan, the old one expired big time.

 

[Ron]

Suns don't have a clue how to counter Duncan.
He might just be able to carry us over the line by himself.

 

[PHX]

**** it. Dallas are shooting the lights out.

.600 at the half.

Sticking with them though shooting a still nice .523

Indiana destroying New York

Suns lead Spurs by 7 at 3 quarter time. Spurs just 1 of 14 at 7% from deep.

Mavericks lead by 5. Shooting 56% from the field and 94% from the line.

Brent Barry the main culprit, how does he even get a game?

his father

 

[PHX]

Baaah making a run at the Mavs with nice drives etc and then the 3FG hopelessness wanders in. Ooo Turkoglu with a potential 3 point play. ARRRRRGH! Missed the FT. ARRGH cant get a defensive rebound when Campier misses, ARGH ANOTHER DUD THREE!

We got into the game with solid offense on the inside and now we get close we throw it away with mindless threes while Dallas makes a driving lay-up to hold us out. . Im baffled. Cmon Magic.

 

[Gridlock'd]

Brent Barry the main culprit, how does he even get a game?

Hes one of the best 3 point shooters in the game.

Besides its not just him. Manu, Barry and Finley have a combined total of 3/16 from beyond the arc.

Even with this poor shooting, the Spurs are still right in it and will go down to the wire.

 

[PHX]

And game over.

 

[Gridlock'd]

And game over.

Maybe not....

 

[Benny_]

Orlando 1 point down with 7 secs remaining. Game on

 

[Gridlock'd]

Go the foul, hope they miss some free throws, if not call the time out, run the three point play, hit it, send the game to OT.

Simple.

Applies for both the Spurs and Magic actually haha. Lets see who can do it.

 

[PHX]

Maybe not....

mmmhmm I think we've spent our bikkies with the 3 spree earlier when we didnt need it.

Surely they'll just try to foul us for two FTs and it'll be a merry-go-round.

 

[Darealrath]

Indiana destroying New York

Dunleavy with a career high 36

And finally above .500, hopefully we keep it that way.

 

[PHX]

Lol Bogans steps on the 3 arc. Story of Orlando.

 

[Gridlock'd]

Haha stung by the deep 2.

Biaw steals the ball from Manu, and the Suns will get the win. Not a bad effort from the Spurs though, minus Parker and all.

 

[PHX]

Lol Bogans steps on the 3 arc. Story of Orlando.

Apparently a ****teenth in it but JUST on the arc.

Wouldve tied it up and made Dallas score instead of go to FTs and have us fling up a shot with 2.4 seconds left with no TOs left.

Or I could just yell CONSPIRACY!

Don't play that card you....

We've had to play Conference Finals against your mob missing several key players.

You'd get beaten 4-0 missing one key player against us.

Try missing two, or one of your best players for a whole season, why not three starting players for a conference final series or two most important players for an important/potentially deciding game, or having your key player miss the last two minutes of a series opener because of a blood nose.

You have no idea what bad luck is son. No idea at all.

Go and stick your unbeaten home record right where the sun don't shine.

Sorry I wont play that card then, you can have that win, you earnt it. Beat us fair and square.

We will keep our 4 championships then, we earnt it. Fair and square.

 

[apollo_creed]

My point being, don't ever make reference to bad luck or good efforts with players missing.

It's better now than.... (guess)

Irrelevant victory for the Suns but encouraging to see Hill playing as he is.

 

[PHX]

Of course. Hill leaves, and now says "what injuries?" all bloody season.

Shard comes on the next massive contract. "oh **** it I'll do something to my neck that might **** me a about for a while.

Fantastic.

 

[TheNextBigThing]

Good win by us today, look to maybe be coming into a bit of form, geez we are good from the line though.
