Suns + the points w/ a sprinkle on the ML

[HoulihansTX]

Yea. I see Suns still have an advantage with a better bench, and a defensive strategy that exposes 2 of the Lakers biggest weakness's.

Weakness #1- No true PG(When was the last time you saw D. Fish with a 10 assist & 15 point game.) Go ahead, and burn the midnight oil researching that.

Weakness #2 - No bench. Kobe, and other starters have to play big minutes in order to cover up the bench's deficiencies.


P.S. If I lose it will because of a legendary Kobe performance. I'll take that.

GL to all

[HoulihansTX]

I will also ride the streak of the team who covers the game, covers the first half.

So Suns 1stH also.

[wallyjones2009]

suns will win

[HoulihansTX]

suns will win

Yes we can

Yes we can.

[DarkMage]

Suns have a fighting chance but damn the Lakers are strong at Staples with the refs behind them.

Staying away from this one.

good luck

[balman]

i'll watch 1st half.. before laying down any cash... but will be cheering for the suns...

[fresnosurf]

Save your cash, Lakers take game 5. Kobe has spoken and the team will follow.

[goofyre]

I think Kobe will have a huge game and the lakers will win. Not so sure on covering the spread though.

[samdapatriotsfan]

I am rooting for the Suns. But I think I will also wait until the 2H to lay some cash down.

[lakerboy]

you might get the spread but the sprinkle i doubt it.

[bygspenda]

Defining game for both teams. Should be close.

[No coincidences]

I think everyone might be a little too drunk on the Suns kool-aid, especially given Phil and Kobe's postgame comments on Tuesday.

It will be interesting to see if the Laker D steps up, or if they can't step up because the Suns are simply too much for them to handle.

Forget the post-game comments. How about in game 4? Why wasn't the Lakers' defensive strategy deployed after they got exploited in game 3. We were not witnessed to a mirage in games 3 and 4...the Lakers have no defensive answer for Phoenix's offensive. And the Lakers have not solved Phoenix's zone defensive, that much is true, unless we see otherwise.

Exactly...

Suns +pts may be good, but your ML sprinkle is wasted sprinkling. Sprinkle elsewhere.

0 % change suns win the game

Now I might play an alternate line and possibly have Phoenix -7. I wonder how much that line would pay.

[nbarlotta3]

The Lakers will win but it will definitely be a close game. The Suns are playing way too well to lose by more than 5 points.

[HoulihansTX]

ML had its chance, but thanks to Nash we cash the cover.
