Think that may have been his twin, first name escapes me :bonk: ...just looked it up, his name was Dick who played for the Suns for a long time, they were a fairly solid team in the 70's. :applaud:

The Magic sweeps the Hawks out of the playoffs, 98-84.

The Van Arsdale twins played together in Phoenix for one year '76-'77, the last year in the league for both of them. The Suns failed to make the playoffs that year.

Van Arsdale still holds the NBA record for most career games played without a playoff appearance. Van Arsdale played 929 games without making a single playoff appearance.

Ack, poor chump. :sweat:

Er... why is Kobe still so sore about the Suns? It's not like the Lakers are seen as the underdogs going into the Western Conf. finals. :shakehead:

Yeah, Suns knocking them out was a while ago, not like they actually hurt him or did anything dirty to him. :nut: Article said Lakers are heavy favorites, they'll probably win but it should be a tough series, Suns have been playing some real good ball in the playoffs. :applaud:

Probably his motivation to give him an edge.

Tubbo was their leading scorer with 21 points. I guess that shows how bad it was for Cleveland. :shakehead:

Yup.

I love it.

A Game 6 loss for the Cavs in Boston will complete the job. :mrgreen:

About time for James to step up and prove why he was the MVP, :sweat: though the Celts had some problems this year, their defense was still among the league's best. The most shocking thing is that they won twice on the Cavs home court, they had the best home record this year, don't think the Celts wanna try their luck though in making it 3 games they've won there. :shakehead:

Wow, that second article really blasted him, :twisted: think he's had more than 3 bad games in 7 years, guess we'll really see what he's made of in the next game, gonna be tough though, Celts confidence level must be sky high right now. :victory:

Absolutely.

This will be one of the few time I'll root for the C's. :mrgreen:
