is game 6 held at LA?

 

[torpid]

It's hard to close teams out. I don't think it would be surprising if either team won, but I'm guessing it will be the suns because of home court + hard to close teams out.

I don't know, but to prolongue the games means more advertising time for the NBA and its affiliates. It means more people in bars watching the games and more bars subscribing to the games.

But that is a good point. They would want to win in their town for sure.

Eh... are you suggesting that teams throw the games so the NBA can make more money?

That's a very cynical view.

LOL I was on Craigslist looking at the tickets because I'm contemplating going to the game tonight and I saw this ad for an $1100 dollar ticket for Game 6 at Arco:

Wife out of town? Hubby away on business? Rich as hell and have the time to head to Sactown for a random Friday night adventure? Cool, go to the game, hell, practically be IN the game by yourself and have the NBA experience of a lifetime! Manu might even flop right into your lap!!!

Man I want that ticket, it's row 1! Too bad i don't have the $$. I was at Arco in game 4, the atmosphere was so incredible that even my wife who's not interested in NBA at all says she wanted to attend the game again.

Same thing happened with my GF in Game 1. The next game she can attend she wants to go for sure.

Lakers

 

[SP33Demon]

These games are too tough to call, they come down to the last 2 minutes every time.

 

[Baked]

Game or series? Lakers for both. Save some energy for the hallway series in next round against Clippers.

 

[InlineFour]

one and a half hour left until the game.

 

[MrsBugi]

I'll be watching, despite an imminent deadline tomorrow.

I think the Suns will rally at home, but the Lakers will take the series 4-2.

Suns should get some home cooking since LA got theirs:

w00t! kobe slam dunks.

EDIT: WTF, bell just closelined kobe bryant. he deserved to be tossed out of the game. kobe actually played it very cool and didn't retaliate.

great dunk and it should have been +1.

how did thomas get away with that push while kobe was in the air?

 

[miniMUNCH]

Wow...

I can't believe the calls the Suns are getting. The refs are blowing the whistle every time the suns flop on D == stupid refs _OR_ thrown game. Did they (the refs) not watch games 1-3 on Tivo...the Suns are flopping on Kobe and Lamar as much as possible.

I now have no respect for Bell...he's flopping like a fish on land.

BTW...I don't even like the Lakers. I was pulling for the Suns until the flop fest started.

Yup, you're right, the Suns are getting away with some flops.

Now that I've been honest about that, you going to admit there never should have been a jump ball called with Walton's foot out of bounrds?

 

[XMan]

79-58, Suns . . . let the ass-kicking commence . . .

 

[her209]

Odom gets hit on the way to the basket and gets no call.

At least the Sun fans can't complain when the Lakers clean up in Game 6.
