Coach Mike D--

Said the defense has been the same. Offensively the Suns played well. Diaw gave them a big lift. He's concerned about Raja being suspended. Said that the league should take in consideration that Raja was hit by an elbow before...(by the way that was a position shifting accidental elbow --barkley said if u slow it down the elbow never made contact with raja bell's head-- compared to a wrap around the neck dragged down with emphasis).

(By the way I'm switching back to TNT...Barkley said because of that dirty play by Raja that the Lakers are gonna be fired up. The fans are gonna be fired up. And Raja will probably be suspended...Kenny Smith said that consistent with the suspensions being given out this playoff that play should be a suspension.)

more updates when i get it...

Phil Jackson said--

That's what happens when one team comes out with desperation and the other team doesn't play with any emotion. Phil said that Raja doesn't need to be suspended. "We want him out there...we want their whole team out there...we want to win against them with their whole team so that we can show that we beat their real team"

Said the officials made up some rules tonight...concerning Turiaf's technical and how Sasha got a delayed of game for throwing the ball...which many players does through out the year...we were on offense so we couldn't have slowed down them getting back on defense or anything.

Said we turnover the balls too much against the double team...Lamar had a fine game...but we'd like for him to have more assists...said that Turiaf gave us some energy and that he was great.

(I love it..."We want him out there"...so do i...can't wait for kobe to dunk on that wuss)

Rat boy Bell is on now--

Said he overreacted because he caught an elbow to the head many times this series...one of the reporter asked if there were other elbows on any particular games out there?...Raja couldn't come up with anything so said it was just the heat of the moment and he made a bad decision.

Kobe on now --

Question was asked about what's going on with his life out there...Kobe said it was just a physical game...no more no less...throw back to 80's style of basketbal...just physical basketball.

Kobe said concerning raja's complaint about his elbow...kobe said it's a physical game...he doesn't go out there to try to elbow people...if it happens it's accidental...kobe said he takes elbow all the time...but you just have to keep your cool...as for the foul...kobe said it belongs in the Octagon...Kobe said he wants Raja bell out there...he wants to play against their top players in this type of game...he's ready for the challenge...wanted to the team to stay cool...learn from this game and execute...focus on playing their game.

Concerning his ejection...said Kwame was fouled pretty hard and he questioned why there was nothing called...said the game was getting out of hand and the refs needed to get a handle on the game...said the ref didn't like his "tonage"...that's why he was tossed.

Said he grew up playing the physical style...he doesn't mind the hard fouls...he wants to go back out there and play...just play hard and adjust to whatever the game speed is.
