Lakers-Suns

[lyon804]

I would be very surprised if the Suns win more than 1 game this series. winning 1 is a stretch at that. The Fakers are in the Postseason and now they are the Lakers. No bullshitting around with them. OKC was the perfect series for them to get going. The only team in the NBA that stands a remote chance in beating LA is Boston. LA vs Orlando would not be pretty again. LA vs Boston would be classic.

[Snowball]

No doubt ! LA/Boston is the TICKET.
Best championship matchup for the NBA.

[TylerDurden]

LB are you going to take me up on any of these? Tyler Durdan- do you still believe that Amare's points average of 20.25 against he lakers this season shows that they contained him? Man, NBA newbies, so much to learn. Kobe can average 20 pts this series (8 below average), 6, and 6 and he will still be ungaurdable b/c the only reason he'd average 20 (hypothetically) is because of the attention he draws and that teams game plan primarily for him. I guess for you though 30 5 rebounds and 2 assists is a better stat line than 20 points 9 rebounds 9 assists. BTW, stop looking at stats, they will confuse you. I watch Amare/Suns play a minimum of 50 games per year, ppl on this site make assumption about him after watching him play 50 games total. Watch how many threads ppl start about Amare during this Lakers series- anyone that starts a thread about him is a newbie b/c that means they didn't know shit about him before the series. Phil is thinking about Amare right now more than any Suns player, I guarantee it.

Yes I do. And Amare's stats tonight (23pts, rb, 3ast, 1stl, 1blk) did NOTHING to show me that he was unguardable, nor that him scoring less than his average (as I predicted) opened up jack shtt for anyone else. Don't get me wrong I like Amare but he's not unguardable to a team like the lakers. Kobe tonight was my definition of unguardable, Amare not so much. And what happened to Grant Hill's top 5 one on one defensive btw?

NBA newbie huh? glad you are such an expert and know sooo much about the NBA, and knew to bet the Lakers ML tonight after you talked up the suns for a week straight, predicted Amare would be soo incredible in the series, get so many rebounds, blah blah blah.

You are all very mistaken and I will come here and congratulate all of you if LA wins in 4/5. I had LA ML today, and will probably bet LA again next game- LA is going to get mopped in PHX.

You really believe this still huh? No way in hell LA looses both games in Phx. I will gladly take the lakers winning at least one in Phx for as many points as you want.

easy overs

[elchampion33]

LA's got this in 5 max... Phoenix shot 50% tonight and still managed to lose by 21, not a good sign for the Suns... Lakers will roll easy

I have been wrong before and I respect your opinion with Lakers winning in 5- let's just sit back and see how it plays out and I will give you props if you're right. A lot of people on here don't know basketball- I know you do- but look at the assumptions ppl make after Game 1. Look at the assumptions ppl were making after gm 1 Boston.

I picked Boston to win the series- but the series is far, far from over.

Lakers in 5

One more win for LA

[lakerboy]

- Hill matches up well with Bryant.
- Fisher can't guard Nash (I think Phil at some point would be either Artest or Bryant on Nash because Fisher can guard J rich).
- I think Phil might toy with the idea of putting Artest on Amare on times. This will be a huge mistake.
- Gasol can't guard Amare
- Gasol will be solid offensively
- Lopez comes back, can hold his ground somewhat against Bynum.
- Lamar Odom can't necessarily guard Amare when he's in the game because who's going to guard Frye off the bench (not Gasol obviously), so Phil might use small sets at times switch Artest to the 4 Odom to the 5.
- Suns bench > Lakers bench
- Jackson> Gentry
-Kobe>Suns

interesting

My offer still stands Goat...just post up as many as you want.

[Goat Milk]

i gotta have like +300 or more for me to take that bet. plus i already got points on it.

[PAYTON20]

I thought you said the Suns win Game 3 by 13+? So why would you need +300 on the Suns winning both games @ home? I guess the Lakers are gonna be 10 point faves in Game 4 (after losing Game 3 by 13+) haha?

[Mikail]

Suns should very well take a game at home. I still predict Lakers in 5

[h3da]

I think the suns might have won today if fyre didn't play so terrible... Seriously I wonder why he even bothers shooting because he is bloody hopeless.. I've backed lakers in the last two games but when suns are at home they are a totally different team... I am tipping suns to win next game at home if they play the way they played today 2nd and 3rd quarter... But no bets for me for the next few games..

[CashMoney27]

With the way the lakers are playing I don't see them loosing. Maybe they will loose 1 in phx but that's it.

[lakerfan420]

lakers will not lose unless they give 1 to the suns. they are just a far dominant team

[TylerDurden]

i gotta have like +300 or more for me to take that bet. plus i already got points on it.

As I expected. So adamant they won't lose a either game at home with your statements and then don't back it up with what counts.

[Goat Milk]

I already have points on it dumbfukk. You can't read? I'm taking Suns game three, take whoever you want no one is stopping you. I was also very adamant Lakers wouldn't lose either at home. You just tail LakerBoy.

[Goat Milk]

I know that. He is stubborn. Lakers can stay with everyone else 1 on 1. Phil will realize that Gasol, Artest, Odom all all either too much of pussies or far to slow to guard Amare. He will have a game plan after the first couple games. There's no way he'll let Amare go to work on the elbow against Gasol/Odom/Artest 1 on 1. He'll double him for sure on the elbow if the Suns try to iso him.

Told you Amare creates HIS OWN SHOT on the elbow they iso'd him all day today and he destroyed Gasol and Odom. Too quick for Gasol too strong for Odom.

Let's see if PHil figures out that he can't let Amare go 1 on 1 on the elbow. He is unstoppable in that position.

[fly fisher]

I was big on lakers and payed for it. GT you and a few others have been calling this phoenix win for a long time now. Great call and congrats to you and anyone who were convince by your logic and won with you. Congrats buddy and good luck the rest of the way. I will lick my wounds and try to crawl back out of my hole.

plenty of time to get it back. These games don't even mean anything to me. I'm playing with like 1-4x and shit. My plays during the NBA FINALS are going to be minumum 4x per game.

Don't take LA game 4, best advice I can give you

[hoopster42]

lakers in 4

You are making me a believer, LOL.. Thanks for the heads up.. BTW I took boston -6.5 am I making a mistake?

[CashMoney27]

Look wht happened la to one in phx. And now it's going to be a 5 game series.

[mr. leisure]

No comment Tyler....

[kobefanatic]

goat game 5 LAL?

[Goat Milk]

Amare created everything for the Suns today, don't get fooled. Phil is too stubborn to double him on the elbow. He will in game 5 watch

[kobefanatic]

GOAT is LAL still winning this one?

[Goat Milk]

wise man. I think both teams win at home. Lakers may win the first 2 at home, and then everyone will be so quick to assume Lakers will close in 5 and that's when I will steal their points

Too bad I didn't bet enough points

[PAULYPOKER]

Well put it this way,,,, either The Suns or the Celtics will win their series which one?? I don't know but I know there won't be a RE-RUN of last year....................

Long story short put a large series bet on both of them,,, who knows you just might even get 2 payday's.................. Thank me later

[osker600]

SUNS IN 7! Thats how its goin down this year!
