What a disappointing fourth quarter.

you just have to win a game like this when you're up by 17 in the second half.

This would be a devastating loss.

They had this game and gave it away
“Kobe had said (after the play) I wasn’t hugged enough as a child,” Bell recalled. “My mom kind of found him after the instance and we had beat them and offered him a hug in the bowels of the Phoenix arena. She really feels a part of that story.”

Does anyone else dislike the clippers as much as me?

I think Jared Dudley may be the only player I like on there team.

Smart D by Jared Dudley. Bledose has gotta go straight up there Dudley is not going to block your shot.

It's weird to see H*** T*****u playing for the Clips. And sad to see Dudley in another uniform.

Two straight pratfalls against L.A. teams and the playoff drive in serious jeopardy. This sux. Thanks, Obama!

What the heck happened?! I left with the Suns well in control and come back to find that they're down by 2 with a few seconds left and then they go on to lose.

And a 60% free throw shooter makes all their free throws at the end.

I can blame it on you for bailing, blame it on Mori and Jeffrey for spitting in the eye of karma, blame it on Obama for being Obama, or assess the situation rationally. I'm not in the mood for the latter.

Dudley was improving every year, but the weight gain this year seems to have brought that to a screeching halt.

And Chris Paul's flopping reminds me of a incident where Dave Cowens was called for a questionable foul on a Mike Newlin flop -

It's games like these that make me reconsider wanting to pay Bledsoe big money.

I don't really know if he's a big-game, big-moment player.

We lost this game the minute we decided to play the two front court players with the LOWEST IQ in all of the NBA (Frye and Plumber). Both are shit for brains
