    PHOENIX SUNS+8 vs L.A. Lakers
    The way the Suns played last night convinces me put take them tonight against the lakers. However, Lakers is not a Hornets team and can absolutely give the Suns a hard time going to the rim. My instinct is telling me to just take the Suns anyways since they are dog by 8 points. That would be an easy pick. The other side is telling me the public will ride on the Suns as well, so playing them isn't a good idea. Give me your take.

    Last night New Orleans gave up after the 1st quarter. New Orleans is garbage this yr, Lakers will play defense tonight something the Suns didn't get last night!
    If it seems to good to be true it usually is!!

    I have a natural instinct to exploit market ineffieciencies!!

      Base on that logic, the under should be a good pick. I am leaning towards the under too... hmm...

          Terminator is right, with Boston a lil banged up Orlando banged up, Cleveland still finding its groove and also LA missing Gasol, its safe to say that RIGHT NOW the Suns are the best team in Basketball.

                  Phoenix +8 sounds a little fishy, agree? This game needs further analysis as to how Phoenix will cover tonight. Questions on Phoenix's performance historically against the Lakers should be not ignored. I think majority of the public will ride on Phoenix tonight.

                    Don't forget this: Orlando opened a can of whoop ass on the Suns without Vince Carter.

                            One thing I find funny is how folks are saying the suns are the best team in the league and or celtics are. For crying out loud the Lakers have been missing one of the games top players all season and have lost 1 game. Lakers win in double digits tonite.

                                They lost to Orlando on a back to back road game. And beating Boston and Miami away doesn't count for anything?

                                  I guess what we can safely say is that just because Suns lost to Magic, it doesnt mean that they'll lose to Oklahoma - although Oklahoma beat the Magic. I think each team has pros and cons that are effective against a certain type of offense or defense. For instance, Orlando can play well against teams like Suns, Gs or other offensive teams. However, they get subdued when facing the Cavs due to Shaq's ability to stop Orlando's main player, Howard. Thus, my point is that just because team A beat team B, while team C beat team A, it doesnt mean that team B will lose to C.
