No doubt about it, the Suns train crashes tonight. Lakers -6 is the play just trying to decide how much to put on it. Lakers are 3-1 against them this season and the avg margin of victory is 15 pts. Lakers have the edge at almost every position and a rested Kobe will go to work. The Suns one win against the Lakers this season was in Phoenix and they made 12 3 pointers in that game. The Lakers are #1 against the 3 and chances are the Suns don't shoot their normal high % from 3. Don't be a sucker!

I just see it as a problem for the Lakers. You can put Kobe on him, but then you have Fisher guarding someone he has no business guarding.
Jason Richardson is going to need to keep playing well this series, because if he doesn't, it will make things a lot easier for the Lakers.
Do you see them keeping Fisher on Nash and hoping the other guys don't get involved?[B][B]They key isn't getting rich quick. The key is getting rich slowly, and enjoying it.

Whats the Lakers record ATS in game 1's last 2 seasons? I know they covered game 1 of the NBA finals huge but I think that was it.Comment -
Take Lakers and be happy.Comment -
The suns are hot right now, if they keep shooting like this and amare takes the lakers out of the paint the suns could take the seriesComment -

I wonder why I thought it was so atrocious I thought it was like 0-2 this year and my dumbass took LA and won game 1 I forgot about. I still dont trust those pampered Hollywood actresses with -6.5, got the ML.Comment -
I like LA -6,5Comment -
Nash is the same model of player as the other 2 in the grand scheme of things. Obviously he has better attributes but he cant attack the rim like Dwill and Westbrook so that gives the lakers a small adv to what they have already seen.
Grant Hill isnt gonna play Kobe minutes. No one can guard Kobe- lets be serious.Comment -
Just took it on the Ml -300Comment -
If J-Rich struggles in this series (especially with his 3's) it is going to be really tough for the Suns to get wins.Comment -
Fish will try to guard Nash and he will do enough, but Nash will get his. The real question is who to guard Kobe? I believe the time off will benefit the Lakers tenfold as oppossed to the Suns who could very well be out of sync. I don't expect much from Jason Richardson either as he tends to have rough games in LA. This game will be all about setting the tone and I have $1200 (bought a half) that says the Lakers cover the 6 tonight. By no means is this a lock as we all know the Lakers love to get complacent but still the right side.Comment -
yea suckersComment -

Lakers will proably win tonight but I like the Suns to cover. Probably going to roll with the Suns most games of this series. Good Luck to All.

good luckComment -
I never go to players talk. People in that section come into the NBA section and talk down to people that post here in the "sub forum." I guess there is like a caste system here at SBR, learning something new everyday.
Goat Milk, are you serious when you say the Lakers only advantage is Bynum down low? I always see you on here talking about your knowledge and disection of matchups and live betting skills and I respect that, but sometimes your reaching.Comment -
Goat if that is LA's only advantage then why are you saying they are going to win the series?Comment -
Suns covers easily today.Comment -
OG- give me a mismatch in the Lakers favor? Kobe is unstoppable obviously, but if I want 1 player in the league guarding him in a 7 game playoff series its Grant Hill.
Amare is a huge problem for LA. Odom is too weak to guard him, Gasol not good enough footwork, Artest is far too slow. Fisher can't guard Nash- at some point in this series I expect Artest to guard Nash and Phil will see how he fairs. No one on Suns can guard Bynum. Gasol will get his offensively. Lakers bench is weak- no mismatches there. Artest and J rich will go at it.
Tell me where you find a mismatch in LA's favor besides Bynum and maybe Gasol offensively. Teams thrive against the Suns when you can exploit Nash- never in a million years will Fisher get the better of NashLast edited by Goat Milk; 05-17-10, 06:32 PM.Cause Sleep is the Cousin of DeathComment -
Top 5 player ever to play the game. Best closer ever.
The Lakers need luck to win this series- let's see what happens. I hope LA wins games 1 and 2 so I can bet you all that the series will still go 6 or 7.
EDIT- Also LB- what is Phil going to do when the Suns go with an Amare/Fry front court. Is he going to leave Bynum in the game and dare Gentry to play Lopez/Amundson? Or is he going to have to go with Odom. Because we both know that neither Gasol or Bynum can guard FryeCause Sleep is the Cousin of DeathComment -
Goat the suns biggest issue is how they are going to fit in Lopez to a team that has had great chemistry. The same thing happened to the magic last year when they brought in Nelson for the final. If La wins tonight they win the series 100%.
The lakers have only one disadvantage and that is a weaker bench. You can analyze the shit out of the series but LA has the better top 6 out of the 2 teams and has more experience and the will to win. As for Nash he will be watching Fisher hit a game winning shot after dominating fish all series long. The lakers know how to win while the suns would like to win. Big difference.Comment -
I disagree with your hailing Hill as the next kobe stopper because I am a big believer in great offense > great defense. Nobody on the Suns can stop Kobe and since he won't have to play intense one on one defense he will have lots of energy for offense. I do agree with Amare being a big problem and the Suns having a better bench. From there though I am not as concerned with the matchups. For this Laker team it is about Phil designing a gameplan to allow each person to play their roles so the team functions as a unit and that is where they have the biggest advantage.Comment -
Alright bro- just like people were telling me the Spurs and Pop "know how to win" right? This series is about who plays with more passion. The ball will never be in Fishers hands for a game winning shot unless Kobe is triple teamed.
The only people that have the will to win on the Lakers are Kobe, Gasol, and Fisher. I see no will out of their bench. I see no will from Bynum or Odom. I don't even see any will from Jackson. I still like Lakers but we'll see bro.Cause Sleep is the Cousin of DeathComment
