Last night i watched the Evil beat Good with a hammer, while most of Texas cheered.  This is not how i expected these playoffs to go.  11 points in a quarter, 11 fucking points!  You can say the suns went cold (true) but what about an adjustment, something, please dear god dont let Amare attempt to dribble through that crowded lane again.  Earlier this week the guys at freedarko.com wrote about the process of a series.  Perhaps D’ Antoni could read it, because part of the process is being forced to change.  There was no next step for the Suns.  Early Rotation on the Pick and Roll (not to mention Shaq clogging the middle) bogged down the Suns offense.  But there was no adjustment it was a stay the course mentality.  Now the Suns, who used to be a beacon of free form basketball, look a mish-mash parts that don’t complement each other.  If process creates a product, what is the end result of this series?Other Thoughts:  Fuck You Bruce Bowen, I of course am playing this series on NBA 2K8, and you fouled Amare going up for a dunk and you injured him.  Even on a video game you are one of the biggest assholes around.  Shut up Doug Collins; somebody get…HIM..OUT..OF HERE! GET HIM OUT OF HERE!I Cant handle one more second of his “the team that executes in crunch time will win” explanation.  Doug do you mean the team that scores more baskets wins games? or do you mean more importantly teams that score baskets in the 4th qtr win even more games?  NO SHIT? Really? I cant believe your talking about the game from behind a microphone and not on the bench in charge of an NBA team still, what insight.  Also please bleach your again you looked awesome in ‘96.
