[Baron Greenback]

If Suns can get through I will be calling in sick every day they play!

[the big bang]

i try to coincide my lunch break so i can go sit at the pub and watch the scond half of as many games as possible.

how quickly a game can change. suns went on something like a 18-6 run over 4 or 5 minutes in the last. completely turned the game on it's head. Kobe was passing the ball ssoooooooo much. silly when he was shooting as well as he was.

would not be at all surprised if we lose this series now.

It was the Suns' bench players that did the damage too. 50-odd points off the bench.
Channing Frye finally found his range.

Short article about Bogut and his recovery


Injured Australia Boomer Andrew Bogut says he's confident he can return to his best, despite suffering from serious arm injuries.

Bogut has pulled out of the national side to contest the World Championships in August, and is still around two months away from touching a basketball.

The star had surgery to repair the damage to his finger, elbow and arm after a dangerous fall while playing for the Milwaukee Bucks in the NBA last month.

Bogut has told SEN his recovery is a slow process.

"I'm rehabbing my elbow at the moment, but it's kind of tough to rehab that fully with a cast on my wrist, because I can't move it where I want," Bogut said.

"I'm trying to get that swelling out of my elbow."

"Hopefully I can start shooting a basketball in about a month and a half, or two months."

"The major concern now is not the elbow, it's the screw in the finger. The ligaments were detached on the bone when I broke it, so they're very concerned that if I push it too much after it all comes off that I can re-break it, so I've just got to be really careful."

Bogut hopes to make a full recovery, but will carry soreness in his finger for a long time to come.

"There's just a little arthritis in my finger now," Bogut said.

"I spoke to a couple of guys in my team that have a similar thing, and they said you don't really notice it."

"Once you're on the floor and it's warm, it's pretty good to go."
