i gotta say, im impressed with portlands D. They're the only team ive watched that can lock down the Suns this well.
Roy just had a sick stepback. Missed the shot, but just wow, especially so soon after surgery. What a beast.
Roy's fadeaway jumper is a thing of beauty...and a wonderful dagger lol @ Juwan's hand gesture after that shot.
Suns got some bad calls, especially that supposed flagrant, pretty ridiculous. Why in the world did Batum out of nowhere shove Amare? lol.
"The new rule stated that if the defensive team commits an off-the-ball foul within the last two minutes of the game, the offensive team would be allowed to keep possession of the ball after the awarding of either one or two free throws." Did the refs disregard this rule when Amare got fouled at 1:59? And how in the world was that a flagrant foul? And didn't Amare get shoved on that inbounds play? Jesus christ these refs.
Stoudamire lined up Batum as he was turning, adjusted his path to walk directly by Batum's injured shoulder, then threw up his elbows as if to adjust his glasses and nailed Batum in the shoulder. If anyone thinks it was accidental look again. He sidestepped as Batum moved to his left and lined him up for the cheap shot. I think we'll hear more about this.
It was an absolute cheapshot. ESPN had a view of this deadball incident during its game recap. Amar'e acted as if he was adjusting his goggles on a dead-ball play, but it was so obvious that he was directing his elbows right at Batum's hurting shoulder. There is no doubt about it, if you look at the angle. It was a vile and dirty "play" that will unfortunately go unnoticed by some NBA fans. Safe to say, though, I have lost a lot of respect for that guy this series. He directs elbows at his opponent, but when they retaliate, he either flops or cries to the refs. Bush league.
how can Roy come back from surgery so quickly? wasnt he supposed to be out like a month? wtf take some of his magic blood and inject it into Yao.
