Kobe time.

ruh roh.

i love kobe time, because it usually means the fakers are about to lose all their ball movement that won them these games.

Wonder what B-diddy is thinking right now?

Kobe was trying for another Hollywood ending and it cost his team the game. That and the Suns executed beautifully in OT, something they haven't done all year.

i felt this shit was inevitible. especially with him yelling at his teammates every other timeout. chucking doesnt count as leadership. for a guy with so much individual basketball talent and IQ. he's still needing to do homework on team philosophy. phil sold him on it for the time being. but its starting to unravel.

oh yea tim thomas gave it to the fakers bench after that 3 pointer in the corner.

Smush Parker was abysmal - over 25% of his possessions turned into a TO. His shot was broke and his defense was subpar.

Steve Nash was lights out. Awesome ball movement, handling, and shooting.

marion=great player ..nash =most important player to the suns. he set up alot of big plays for everyone.

[Glenn]

Oh.Hells.Yes.

The Suns have too many weapons.

If you are Phoenix, don't you beg the NBA to hand Nash his MVP at center court before game 7? Talk about getting the crowd fired up.

Of course some will say that doing so will only get Kobe pissed off, but that might not be all that bad of an idea either. If it induces more "Kobe Time", game 7 should go PHX's way.

[Kstat]

The NBA hasn't awarded him the MVP yet, so they cant give him something he didn't officially win.

[Glenn]

Right.

But they usually give out those awards before a home game right?

I recall Ben getting his DPOY before tip off of a home playoff game before.

If they don't do it now, when will they do it?

I'm saying that the Suns would be wise to suggest to the NBA that the time is now.

EDIT: They gave it to him on May 8 last year.
