Did you guys notice the NBA Playoffs graphic that ESPN is using?



Gee. I always thought there were four teams in Conference Finals...

First OT game of the playoffs. That's how drama-less these playoffs have been.

Orlando has played well, finally. Vince Carter is still invisible...frankly, JJ Redick has outplayed Carter. The Celtics are just really, really good, especially when Paul Pierce hits crazy shots like that.

That ESPN pic is really really bad. You'd think they'd have Nash on there, who's just as marketable as the other 3.

Frye finally makes a shot after 17 straight misses. Hopefully Phoenix can continue hitting the 3.

Keep it up Suns! Loved seeing the Suns bench all the way out to half court to meet there bench after that run. Suns bench is miles ahead of the Lakers

Yeah, very entertaining game. Strange though to see a Phil Jackson team looking so disorganized, though when Kobe's shooting the way he is, that makes up for a lot. But with the Phoenix bench playing well, Bynum hobbling, and LA being unable to solve the zone, this series suddenly has a very different complexion.

Wow, three 3's in a row there by the Suns. Hopefully they can hold on to this lead.

Yeah, Frye, Barbosa and Dudley are making some clutch shots. I think Kobe will make it interesting by the end but hopefully Phoenix holds on.

It's been nuts that Phoenix has played all 5 bench players all quarter. Not even 1 second of time for any of the starters through the first 9 minutes of the 4th quarter and they have extended the lead. Have to force someone other then Bryant to take the shot in the last 3 minutes. And yeah that was an awesome play.

Yeah guys like Dragic, Frye, and Barbosa have been great. If you can rest guys like Amare and Nash for all but 3 minutes of the 4th quarter and bring them in with a double digit lead, you aren't going to lose the game.

Suns up by 11 with 54 seconds left. This series is now tied 2-2.

Suns win 115-106. Series tied 2-2.

It will be interesting to see if Phoenix can play like they did at home in LA. I think this will go to 7 games.

If the Lakers keep sending the Suns to the line like they did in games 3+4 I have no doubt that they can win this series.

What a wonderful performance from the Suns bench. I though Nash didn't look all that comfortable all game, and Dragic and co. were the reason the Suns won, (not a revelation or anything).

Bryant only took five shots in the fourth, I sometimes wonder if Kobe is doing his 'i'm no the only player on this team' routine and purposely not trying to take over.

Yea, I noticed this too. I think there were two possessions in a row in the 4th where Fisher just pounded the ball and then took bad shots while Kobe was flailing his arms screaming for the ball. After that happened, it looked like he was just pissed off and mailed in the rest of the game.

Kobe was playing that same game the last time the Suns beat them in the playoffs a couple years back. I remember seeing it then too. There was a definite "ok, if you guys think you can win without me, then let's see you do it" thing.

I'd forgotten what a monster Kobe is out there. The guy is still insanely good at almost every single facet of the game. I'm still pretty scared of the Lakers I saw in games 1 and 2, but I feel a lot better about the team-effect that the Suns bring to the table.
