ROUND 2: THE HANGOVER


Tonight is the second game of the Western Conference Semifinals against the Clippers (I still can't belive I am typing that...let me do it again...we are playing the Clippers tonight. In the playoffs). Game One was what happens after a big party (Lakers series), a hangover. The Suns and the fans just didn't seem to be in to the game. Sure, we won 130-123, but there wasn't the energy in the arena we had for game 7 of the Lakers series. Maybe because it was the Clippers. Maybe it was because of the emotions of the previous series...whatever it was, the Suns need to turn it up to win this series.
Elton Brand (I freaking hate Duke) scored 40. Sam (Mr. potato head / alien) scored 28. But the Suns were able to hold off the Clippers in the second half by scoring a ton of points and getting a couple of defensive stops (something nobody did for most of the game).
I still think the Suns will win this one in 6...but these ARE the Clippers we're talking about.

Sure not blaming the loss last night on the refs; but did anyone think it just a little odd that one of the refs called Nash over and was laughing & when Nash tried to walk away, he called him back again & they laughed & gave each other a fist-bump. hmmmmm Glad the Mavs are coming home. After watching the drunk Suns' fans harassing Coach Avery's wife and kids, I want our Mavs back where the fans are wild "with class". I'm surprised Avery could even keep his mind on game after that mess.
