ChosenOne Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 Both the Western and Eastern conference finals looked like they were going to be sweeps, and today it seems that both might just go to 7 games. Do either the Magic or Suns stand a chance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Regime Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 Suns don't stand a chance, but the Magic do. The thing about Boston is they get worn down as the game progresses and the Big Three for the Celts just disappear. There is no mutiple day rest between games like there was last round, and the Celts are hurting because of that. Rondo doesn't appear to be healthy and he's getting torched by Jameer who has been attacking him the last two games, and no one has been able to match Dwights toughness in the paint. Perkins can't stay out of foul trouble and Glen Davis plays hard but can only do so much. The Magic are a young team and a doing a great job scoring in transition whether it's off a rebound or a Celtic fieldgoal. The Celts are struggling stopping Jameer on the pick and roll, and guys like Reddick, Barnes, and Pietrus are hitting big shots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've noticed that too, as the game progresses the Big Three fade a bit. We need to keep out hustling them, I mean our guys gave it all tonight again. Really everybody was like a ballhawk. Still a few turnovers but ones that I can live with. We also beat them at their own game, playing great defensively. Nelson still in attack mode. Game 6 is gonna be so crucial, and Boston now needs to know about Perkins and Davis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clutch Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 magic have to realize that they have already taken boston's best shot in this series..boston can't give them anything more...so now its orlando's turn to play like they were supposed to play as they did past 2 games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magicbalala245 Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 Suns have a chance but a very very very slim chance to beat LA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clutch Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 (edited) both teams are tryin to create history phil jackson teams are 42-0 in a series after they win game 1, so thats the stat suns have to deal with and we all know the 0-3 scenario Edited May 27, 2010 by Clutch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingfish Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 Im legitimately worried about the Suns. They aint no joke, that zone is a perfect way to beat us, we have absolutely no answer for it other then Kobe hitting shots from another area code. Plus our defense has been so poor and either Amare/Nash/Dragic abuses us or they get an open 3, this team is one of the best 3 point shooting teams in league history. I think wel win game 5, then a close one in game 6. I think Boston blows out the Magic in game 6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a lot to say for a team that's still 3-2 down, but when it comes to the Lakers/Phoenix series, the only remakr you've made is, "Suns don't stand a chance." I'd like an explination of why a team who's looked clearly superior by a long shot in the last two games doesn't stand a chance despite being even with the team who's apparently supposed to dominate them.

I'd like an explination of why a team who's looked clearly superior by a long shot in the last two games doesn't stand a chance despite being even with the team who's apparently supposed to dominate them. First off, Phoenix winning game 5 is out of the question we've killed them in both games at Staples. The Lakers are 18-0 in game fives as a franchise. We have the best player and coach in the league, and just based on their press conferences after last game I can sense some urgency. There are a couple small adjustments in our rotation which will pay big dividends imo. First off Sasha should see some more pt which will cut away minutes from Farmar who has been a piece of [expletive] defensively and offensively this series. Sasha isn't a great defender but he'll get into opponents and make them work. More importantly with Sasha we'll have a reliable three point shooter who might be able to break that zone. Sasha hasn't played a lot of minutes but this series is calling his name, and if there is one thing we have come to know about Sasha that is he has the ability to score. I can see him having a JJ Reddick type impact in the next couple games. Secondly as far as game 5 goes we'll get better contribution from guys not named Kobe. Pau has been great all series minus last game, so I expect him to come up big tonight. Odom and Artest play better offensively at home than they do on the road. Lastly I think it's kind of ridiculous that the Suns rely so much on their bench. Their bench had to literally go off in game 4 for them to win. Kobe already sent a message to the rest of the guys that he wants a more consistent effort on the defensive end so you can bet that the Lakers will respond. I guarantee we won't be seeing an offensive explosion from their bench again this series. Edited May 28, 2010 by Confidence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
