Rd 2: Phoenix (2) vs LA Clippers (6), Suns win 4-3

[H1Man]

Livingston made 2 bone-headed plays near the end, although Barkley disagrees with the out of bounds call.

Edit: Maybe Barkley is right after all.

[Kstat]

it was one bonehad play, and one phantom out of bounds call.

I saw Cassell's 8 second violation on ESPN this morning.

WTF was he smiling about?

How Embarassing!!

My dream of a Suns-Pistons finals is alive for yet another day.

[Fool]

Apparently he forgot about the shot clock running off a bit before they got the timeout called (immediately prior to the call). He had to go to Dunleavy and ask him what happened before he understood. The announcers said Bell (I think it was Bell) was talking to him as he came up the court.

[Glenn]

I really like Raja Bell.

I was in favor of the Pistons going after him this offseason, and I really wish we could have landed him.

He did some work for ESPN during the playoffs last year and he really seems to have a good understanding of the game, and he was entertaining too.

He would have been a great addition to this team, much better than Evans, for sure. The chance at a starting role in PHX probably was a big draw for him.

[Fool]

He'd be on the bench = he wouldn't play EVER.

If I were in the NBA I wouldn't want to be on the Piston bench.

[Pharaoh]

Bell took more money, a starting job, better climate and an opportunity to actually shoot the ball a lot over a bench role, less money, worse climate and less shots?

No way! I can't believe it? Really? Are you serious? Damn!

[Glenn]

Geez, I'm not saying that I'm surprised, especially since we never even had the chance to talk to him.

He was just somebody that would have made us a much better team, and he got the MLE, so I consider him a nice bargain for PHX.

As I said, just wishful thinking on my part.

[Pharaoh]

I know you didn't say you were surprised, GD.

I just felt like fooling around.

Clips up 12 at the half......can they force a game 7?
