    Thoughts On PHX Tonight

    I've seen a lot of talk about most the games on here, haven't seen anyone mention PHX vs LAL. Line opened at LAL -7.5 and 70% of the bets are on LAL yet the line hasn't moved. Really like PHX here, and LAL always struggles against good PG's.

    Anyone else think the Lakers - 7.5 are square?

    Also, PHX is 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games against the Lakers. PHX hasn't lost by double digits to the Lakers in those 8 games either. Liking PHX the more I look into it.

    Remember last year when they took the Lakers to 3OT (i think it was 3OT) and lost by just 2 in Staples.

    The Suns matchup really well with the Lakers. Lakers beat a lot of teams by pounding them in the paint. PHX has two legit 7 foot centers who play good defense in Gortat and Lopez. They should be able to match up well with Bynum and Gasol.

    LAL has big time problems with Nash everytime he plays them. And Pick & Pop between Nash and Frye should give LA trouble seeing that Gasol and Bynum don't like to be out on the perimeter.

    He's Sharp but everyone is wrong sometimes. I just go with my gut and can't let others sway me from it. If they agree then great. Thinking I'm going small on Phoenix since I liked them all day. LAL has to go into Utah afterwords and Phoenix has been playing better defense this year.

    Gortat is a beast. Lopez is soft and untalented... I think the Lakers probably win by double digits tonight.

    I just like how the Suns match up with them. Their bigs can hang with Gasol and Bynum. Nash should be running circles, and like I said, if Frye can hit his jumpers tonight, the pick and pop should be there all game.

    Did PHX even score in the last 4 minutes of the game? I don't think they did. Lakers went on like a 15-0 run.

    just checked the play by play. The last Suns score was by Marcin Gortat at exactly the 4 minute mark of the 4th quarter. Lakers scored 16 points in the final 4 minutes and the Suns put up a 0

    You can't make this sh*t up!

    Well thanks to them not scoring at all in the end, PHX -8 didn't hit. On the other side, thanks to PHX not scoring my under hit.
