What a way to lose this game for L.A.

I'm not understanding why Kobe can't get a foul call on any of his drives to the basket, but whatever I guess. At least no one can cry that it's a conspiracy for an all LA second round.

I thought that game was well officiated. And you can't fault the refs when the Defense can't stop anyone.

Game 7 and should be an awesome game, getting to see Raja back on Kobe.

As you guys know i am a huge Lakers fan, and i'm afraid for game 7. I thought last night was our one chance to close out the series. It will be very difficult to do so in Phoenix. Right now i feel like the Lakers will lose the game and the Suns will be the 8th team in history to come back from down 1-3 in a series to win it.

Biased, probably so. But there were some questionable no-calls.

I'm also worried about Game 7, the Lakers had game 6 won till Thomas hit that three with 8 seconds left. Barbosa played the game of his life, which saved the Suns in the end.

Well Kwame Brown also played the game of his life. These teams create huge mismatches for each other, b/c the Suns have no size down low and the Lakers dont have the guys that can defend the Suns.

Kwame's played well the past couple of games. You're right about the mismatches, it makes the series very entertaining, every game is down to the last shot practically (besides game 5 :) ).

Game 7 should be good, but who knows, it could be like game 5 again.

Kobe spent a fair amount of time whining to the refs about calls. His late 3 from the corner was a helluva shot. And he also got lucky on two banked threes.

I also thought it was a well-officiated game.

And the Bulls waived Tim Thomas this year, deciding they were better off without him. Too bad for the Lakers.

I'm rooting for Phil Jackson to get his first playoff series loss in the first round, and his first playoff loss after holding a series lead.

As a Laker hater, last night's game was worth staying up for. :biggrin:

Not as good as game 7 will be if the Lakers lose. But hey, the Lakers were supposed to lose to the Suns anyway.

I don't understand all the gloom + doom from the Laker fans. They've played well most of the series. They lost on an offensive rb and a big Thomas 3. No reason they can't go to Phoenix and win game 7.

Maybe Bell will rough up Kome again in game 7.

Phil actually made a good point in the post-game presser. He said if they got that rebound or if Tim Thomas missed that shot, everybody would be telling the Lakers how great they were.
