Well if we are just saying potential i would say dirk is a top 10 potential. I know the bird comparisons get old but the only thing bird had on dirk is rings and passing. If dirk gets a ring this year it is a very valid question as to who was a better player and bird is generally considered top 5 or 10 of all time.

Anybody hear Collins' narrative about Nash's tired legs? Nash's passing up shots because of fatigue?
Interesting.

Good first half....I heard them talking about Nash but didn't pay much attention. Still, we all know here that Nash fades as the season goes on.
BTW....Phoenix looks really motivated.

The ending to this game is hilarious.
Probably the very funniest thing, though, is Collins going off on a tirade about how you just HAVE to know to take a timeout there, while the camera is showing Raja Bell attempting to call one. Collins just keeps going off on it, though.

It wasn't JET quality, but Cassells has been money.

Raja Bell is a little bitch...but he is exactly the kind of player you want on your team.
What a monumentally stupid throw in.

Nash should buy Raja Bell breakfast/lunch/dinner for a month.

Ballgame. The clips screwed the pooch hard on this one. They were up by 3 with 1.1 seconds left and blew it. They would have returned home with a 3-2 series lead. Dopes.
The Suns will win this series.

Wow. I was up until 2AM watching that game. Unbelievable.
Favorite moment: The expression on Sam-I-Am's face as he crossed halfcourt just a fraction of a second beyond the 8-second count. From Snarky Smile to Huh!-What? anguish in about .3 seconds. Priceless.
Then Chuck and Kenny in the postgame was Priceless 2--trying to say that it was all Dunleavy's fault for not telling Sam he didn't have the full eight seconds.
Then Chuck and Kenny in the postgame defending Tim "Professor" Thomas for hurling a fullcourt lob in a helter-skelter scramble with 3.3 seconds left instead of calling timeout to advance the ball and set up a play. Surprisingly, they didn't try to blame this on Dunleavy.
Ladies and gentlemens, they's idiots, and they's idiots.
Clippers really let multiple opportunities slip throught their fingers. Don't know their team well enough to predict how they react.
Suns have to be on their 7th or 8th life right now. They must be exhausted. Watching Nash alternate between brilliant and beaten is a weird deja vu.
Raja Bell. Raja Bell, Raja Bell, Raja Bell. I liked him as a Griffin-type player when he was in Dallas, but I never guessed he'd have that shot in him.
Someone should park Marquis Daniels in front of a DVD player and say, "Your mission, should you decide to accept it is: Balls-to-the-wall 3-point shooting, and Mamba-killer defense. THIS, son, is what the Mavericks need from you. This opportunity will self-destruct in about 9 months."

After we officially end the TD dynasty tonight, I'd like to see a double-OT win for Clips in the 6th and a triple-OT win for the Suns in the 7th. Let the 2-time MVP get spent before he ever sets foot in AAC again.

- Bell has turned into a premiere 3pt shooter.
- Why was Cassell looking at his opponent and laughing instead of looking at the shot clock?

Bell has ALWAYS been a great 3pt shooter. HE shot 40% on 3s when he was here.

Well, the Clips and Kings both did what we asked of them, stretching both the Spurts and the Suns. And surprisingly, the Cavs are making it hard for the Pistons.
It's meant to be this year, it's meant to be!

Suns' Thomas available for spot duty
PHOENIX (AP) -- The Phoenix Suns might have center Kurt Thomas available for spot duty off the bench against the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday night.
Thomas has not played since breaking his right foot against Boston on Feb. 22. He went through 2-on-2 drills on Saturday and was to participate in a full scrimmage on Sunday, coach Mike D'Antoni said.
The Suns certainly could use another big man against the Clippers in Game 7 of their Western Conference semifinal series.
"Can we get him back on Monday at this level, this quick? I think it's very difficult," D'Antoni said. "We'll see how he scrimmages tomorrow."
If the Suns win, D'Antoni said he was confident Thomas could play at some point in the conference finals.
Thomas didn't have much to say about his status after Saturday's workout.
"It feels good," he said. "We'll see how it is after tomorrow."
D'Antoni minimized any impact Thomas could have so soon after coming back.
"That's a tough injury to come back and throw someone into a playoff situation," D'Antoni said. "I don't know if it's fair to ask him to do that. We'll hold that judgment until we see him scrimmage and then make a good decision."
Thomas, acquired from the New York Knicks before the season began, averaged 8.6 points and 7.8 rebounds in 53 games for Phoenix.

Agree that they're real poor at all the things you mentioned above. But we gotta' admit, they're also real good at running the floor, spacing on offense, passing, shooting the 3, taking it to the rack, etc.

Hey Elton!
Welcome to the Playoff! And Good Bye!
It must suck to play a decent game and end up loosing by 20...
We have to defend the perimeter against the Suns. They just made, what, 14 3-pointers...

At the end of each practice, the Mavs conduct a competition and ring a bell whenever someone makes 20 of 25 3-point attempts.
