Good game by the Suns, but Amare & Diaw will be suspended & that's pretty much the series.

[/ QUOTE ]

They barely left the bench and Amare was in on a substitution. No suspensions. Even if they are suspended, Suns win game 5 in a blowout...

I've realy started to like imitation, despite Tuq liking it too. Just sticking up for the soon to be defeated Warriors you rag on mang :P. FTR, kind of indifferent to the actual act of breathing.

LOL, I think I'm developing a mancrush on tuq. Yes Suns!!! Happy Birthday man!!!

Haha, thanks you guys.

17 years ago tomorrow (well, in less than an hour), or exactly half my age, the Phoenix Suns defeated the LA Lakers in Los Angeles to complete a stunning 4-1 series win. This despite the Lakers having the best record in the NBA, Magic winning the MVP, and Pat Riley winning the Coach of the Year. It was the best 17th birthday a Suns fan could hope for, and I still remember the headline in USA Today:

"SUNS SOLVE FORUM FRUSTRATION"

It was an epic upset for the Suns. Despite being a very good team they lost in every previous series to the Lakers, including being up 3-1 in the '70 playoffs (ultimately the Willis Reid playoffs). The Lakers just owned the Suns, had swept them the year before - despite the Suns having a better record that year - and there was no reason to think anything different would happen.

Disappointingly, the Suns went on to blow the WCF to an inferior Portland team (which in turn lost to Detroit), but man the city was on fire for a week or two. Seventeen years later I hope that happens again...

I hate the leave the bench rule. It can't just be an arbitrary policy. You have to review it and look at the circumstance.

Maybe NBA teams should carry enforcers on their rosters, like they do in hockey.

[kidcolin]

They used to until Stern cleaned up the league, like Oakley, Mahorn, Laimbeer, Oakley, and let's not forget Oakley.

I mean a 15th man, some guy you won't mind getting tossed for a game or two. (Are the 13th-15th guys on the roster allowed on the sideline?)
