Noooo. I was talking about the fact that Tim Thomas is with the Clippers. He made the Suns-Lakers series so much better with his big shots and obscene gestures towards the Lakers bench.

It won't be boring though, you'll get to see Amare's return(hopefully) and Raja score 50 on whoever guards him now.
The Lights Out lighting looks amazing. Goes perfectly with the court, makes everything look a lot brighter and more focused, and crowd is lit enough so you can see their reactions. Awesome!Oh, and fu*k Kobe for knowing his limits!
Damn, Nash had 7 assists in 1st quarter! 41-24 with 25 seconds to go in 1st. Hope Amare gets lots of playing time...
Wow, these two opening games are close huh? Nash is such an incredible passer. We look at the stat sheet and get wow'ed about 7 assists in 8-9 minutes, but he's so good. I've seen him do that many many times. It's still a joy to watch though, he's incredible.Amare looked pretty good when he was out there. He had a thunderous dunk on his first touch, and I know everyone liked that. But he also had an excellent block. He's active, running much better than he was in preseason, and he still has some spring, let me tell you that.But 41 points in the first quarter for Phoenix. Jesus christ.
Told you again it'd be a blowout. Some of you laker fans are stupidly arrogant. "Oh, there's no tim thomas this year" acting like he's the sole reason we won last year.

That's contradicting yourself.
See what you do S2S? Shut up. Pretty entertaining game so far. I just wish James Jones didn't miss all his shots. :no3:
Good, entertaining first half. The Lakers made a nice comeback in that 2nd quarter, but Phoenix still pulled away with the 5 point lead at the half.Amare has looked pretty solid out there. He threw it down hard once, he's been active, and he had an excellent block.Nash with 8 assists already, that is awesome. He's knocked down a couple three's as well. He's playing like Steve Nash, nothing really out of the ordinary, but he just does it so well you have to talk about it every time.Marion, Bell, and Barbosa are playing great ball and they are all scoring a lot of points. They must all have 10 points.EDIT: Great defensive pressure and hustle from Marcus Banks.Andrew Bynum is doing a pretty good job. He's made two EXCELLENT passes to the backdoor cutter, and he's scored a little. He's really come a long way from last year.Mo Evans provided a lot of energy, excellent job from him. He got a couple hoops around the basket from running hard and he's knocked down 1 or 2 mid-range jumpers. He's doing a real good job out there.Odom is playing good all-around basketball offensively, and they are going to need him to continue his play.EDIT again: Haha did anyone hear Chuck right there? "Snickers and Reese's Cups are the two greatest inventions ever."
Good game so far. Kobe's out, Kwame's out, Mihm's out, Vlad's hurt, and the Suns came out shooting absolute lights out and yet they're only down 5. Bynum is looking great out there, his passing game is really impressing me, I couldn't be higher on this guy right now. Mo Evans is also showing that he can play for this team, he's hustling and playing nice D. Lamar's been off and on in the first half, overall I'd say he's not playing as under control and well as he should be. Smush is playing terrible, 1/4 free throws, a couple of turnovers, bad D. And Vladimir Radmanovich is doing as good as a pure shooter with a hurt shooting hand can do.For Phoenix Amare looks alright, but he's definitely not leaping like he used to, that's to be expected but still. Nash is being Nash, and Leandro Barbosa is doing reasonably well, goddamn that guy is fast.BTW, is anyone else extremely pissed with the whole "Lights Out" thing, Staples had a good thing going, I liked it better the way it was.
