Suns V Lakers Series
There seems to be precious little chat here on what's turning into a ball tearer of a playoff series. Lakers hold serve easily in the first 2 games, the Suns then do the same thing on their home court before it heads back to LA for game 5.
I followed most of today's game online before heading to the Sony shop on Rundle street at lunch time to catch the final few amazing mintues. Big shot after big shot, Nash hitting a couple of fade away jumpers on Gasol, Artest taking and missing an ill advised three that must have had Jackson fuming, Pau blows a dunk with 20 seconds left that would have sealed it, then the Suns have 3 (three!) shots at the game tying triple before Richardson finally banks one from a few metres outside to tie it up with less than 4 seconds remaining.
Everyone in the building knows Kobe's going to shoot it, and he does, but it goes no where near and Artest gathers a tough rebounds a makes a tough put back to win the game as the siren blows. Villian to hero in 3 seconds flat. Bitter pill to swallow for the Suns who were down almost all of the game but they've gotta be feeling pretty good about game 6.
Bring on Sunday morning.
