But like Kobe said they've put in their work and now its paying off. We'll see if they sit out Raja and Nash next year when they come to town thinking they need rest for the playoffs. Bring in Amare and his broke knee and we'll see what's up. We are the 7th seed taking care of business. No excuses for refs or missing players. This is the playoffs. Losers talking about the fix is ridiculous. If it was a fix then Phoenix should never have been a 2 seed and Nash should not have been MVP. Just let the players do there thing and let the chips fall where they fall. Respect has been earned, nobody gave the Lakers a chance this year. They've earned every bit of their 7th seed and now have all the sports networks excited about hoops. and can't wait to see the hallway match up. This game was a miracle over and over and over again.

He dribbled toward the sideline, which acts as another defender, and he moved the ball away from his body. No pro player in his right mind expects fouls to be called at the end of playoff games. That is why even Nash and D'Antoni didn't blame the refs for the loss. Nash committed two basketbal no-no’s when trapped.

And wait, wasn't enough there to warrant a guaranteed call? That's your disproof? Thats about as non-committal a statement I have ever heard. And who is talking about only 1 call? There is a sequence of events here. C'mon, just say it: The refs blew some calls that opened the door for Kobe's shots and without those calls AND those shots the series would be locked right now.

The refs suck, but they suck all around. There is no fix. If that were the case the Heat would also have an open door to the Finals.

Also, like many here, I suspect, I played a lot of ball in high school. We lost a close one once to a rival school and a bad non-call played a role, But, looking back, we also did not execute down the stretch, Neither did the Suns. Nash, a great player and seemingly a classy guy, blew it on both turnovers. He knew the trap was coming and did not play it right. On the final play, the Suns did not do a good enough job of getting the ball out of Bryant's hands. This is exciting, but I think closing it out will be very difficult. The really exciting thing is that I think it lays a foundation for the team to really move up with a talent upgrade in the 3-8 spots on the roster. The team has a star and four decent starters now, it seems, instaed of just a mish-mash.

My friend was the DJ). When they showed the highlights on the bar's many TVs, every patron in the establishment ignored the naked girls on stage and cheered for the six-hours-old replay, over and over again.

Along with Endofthebench, John Hollinger in chat today, the Laker fans who text messaged me after the game, the Laker fans who AIM'd this morning, well just about everyone but the homers here. If you can't even admit they blew those calls...wow, I don't know what kind of basketball fans are around in LA anymore. Notice I have not used Kobe's name in any of these posts. He absolutely hit both of shots. Well done. But if the game was properly officiated he would not have had a chance. Then there was that charge he put on Nash the other night that everyone was celebrating or..I could go on, but one can't expect to reason with the irrational. The Lakers squeak by a depleted Suns team with no frontcourt on their home court with generous help from the officials and you'd think Magic was back with the way people are talking. Nene Hilarious. ...Actually, Kwame might try to grab Kaman's balls, but with his hands I'd expect him to drop them before he got a good pull. Weird, that link also hints that the refs blew it.

That swipe was clean. Nash slipped, picked his dribble up, Smush rubbed it against Nash's knee, Nash stumbled and tried to tip it to himself, but Smush tipped it first over to Devean. (The NBA anchor guy still says it like "Debian.") There's an honest possibility of a foul call on the OT play, but if you ask me, the most obvious non-call was the one on Jones at the end of regulation. I really sucked in a breath when they didn't call that one. This game was like a mix between the Portland game from the 2000 WCF and the Portland game in 2004, the one that got us the second seed in the playoffs. You have the team play from the former, and the twin Kobe buzzer-beaters from the latter. Incidentally, I thought Kobe had a very good post-game conference this game. He came off as genuinely happy for his teammates. It was the first time I heard him get a significant laugh from the press corps during a conference, but I missed what he said to draw that--does anyone remember who was watching?
