FLAMERS ''shoot the 3'' and then get back on D to stop them
SUNS -3.5
Amazing line. Folks, the Suns are going to put another wooping on these guys. The Suns are on a mission. It's a fact, this same Suns team just playing possum for most part of the season. It didn't matter to them, if they finished 3rd, 6th or 8th.
This team is not just a good team, they are the best team.
Look for the Lakers to come out strong on the back end. I see a tie game after 1, and the Suns will surely take a good lead, but the Lakers will rebound back to get into the game, and even take a lead themselves.
Halftime score
SUNS 52
LAKERS 53
The 3rd qtr is going to be the Suns bench doing the work. I see them hitting 30 in this qtr, and it might get ugly.
after 3
SUNS 85
LAKERS 73
Then the 4th, Kobe will try to do it all, and the Suns will just attack the strong side, and use Thomas, or Marion to bounce check the off dribble and that will force the Lakers to pass, and shoot.
On paper I totally agree with your guys reasoning for going with Phoenix I did take the Lakers though due to the experience factor with Odom, Bryant, and Jackson. Bryant and Jackson have won championships before they know how to win big games. So far it has been a game full of runs whoever makes the last run will probably win the game.
