How the F*ck was that a charge?! :ranting:EDIT: The Refs are the reason we have no fu*kin intensity right now.
Game 4's are notorious for bad calls. It took a while, but here come the make-up calls for last year. And now I'm officially over it.

How can you argue with what these greats have had to say, especially after the amazing game he had tonight?Nate Archibald:"People ask me, 'Is he a "one" or a "two"?' I say, no, he's the consummate floor leader.Kevin Johnson:"He was the third guard behind Jason Kidd and I when he broke in with the Suns in 1996. I said time and time again, he was by far the best point guard of the three of us, even then. In practice every day, he would drill us. ?Mark Jackson:"Watching him these last three years, if you take Magic Johnson out of the picture, Nash is in the discussion with anybody who has ever played the position."Russel:?I think, on the world stage, he?s one of our great athletes in all sports,? I?m a big fan. The two M.V.P.?s he got, he deserved.'?You have to consider the body of their work. I?ve been watching the N.B.A. since 1950. And so I?ve known what I was watching, and Steve Nash is one of the guys that stands out over that period.?Or Larry Bird:"[Steve Nash]controls the ball as good as anybody ever has in this league.?<span style="font-size:24pt;line-height:100%">MV3</span>

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (LakersFan247 @ Apr 29 2007, 10:39 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>Who's arguing? </div>Not you now but he gets a lot of hate for his MVP's. Dirk has really embarrassed himself. They should make him receive the award during the Suns-Spurs series.Another tidbit: Nash's performance also made him part of an historic Suns trio. His assists, Shawn Marion's points (22) and Amar? Stoudemire's rebounds (21) represent the only time in NBA playoff history that three teammates have recorded at least 20 in each respective category in one game.
OMG ASUFan you spelled Russell's name wrong. That's a cardinal sin. Respect the great.The announcers as usual were dumb as hell.Start of the 4th quarter they're all 'kobe needs to shoot more. I don't care about criticism, his teammates aren't hitting shots, he needs to shoot.'First play of the 4th quarter, kobe dishes out to Maurice Evans who drills a 3.Announcer is silent for a moment, then: 'Good play by kobe dishing out to his teammate there.'

Hmm, call me crazy but, it wasn't the 23 assists that Nash had that killed us. How about Amare's rebounding? A guy that averages 9.6 on the season, you can't, you just can't give him 21.BTW, Smush finally learned how to foul Barbosa.
I agree with you. Outrebounding the Lakers was the key to the game and Amare was a big part of that. He usually comes up with a huge game like that after being embarrassed or if he feels like he has something to prove against someone.
