Don't think Lakers beating them will be so easy. Phx will steal homecourt

When was the last time Lakers lost to Suns at home???

Lakers are 3-1 vs. Suns this year.

[Goat Milk]

The Suns won't steal homecourt.

[kobefanatic]

amare will just be like boozer, being schooled by gasol,bynum and odom

[kobefanatic]

frye won't do shit against odom, jarron collins is just like the invisible man on the court, bynum won't have to worry about him

[Gumdog]

i like teh kind of ball the suns are playing, everyone sed spurs wud take it down b4 the start of that series and they got swept, i wudnt give them a 0 chance of winning the conf finals...cant count out a team playing there best ball all yr

[lakerboy]

The only thing that matters is that the suns will lose the series.

Amare is the best PF in the league. Don't ever compare him to Boozer. And don't even compare Gasol to Amare. Amare will school the fukk out of Gasol and Odom in this series.

[kobefanatic]

lakers aren't the spurs, kobe>ginobili, gasol>duncan, bynum>mcdyess, odom> whoever, nuff said

I dunno why any disrespect to the Suns here. Obviously they don't matchup well vs. the Lakers but they proved something dismantling the Spurs in 4.

They'll try to fast break the **** outta the Lakers and punish them for having bigs that aren't the quickest coming back on D. They realize Amare won't dominate inside so they'll stay away from that.... it'll be the shootout style the Suns will try to push.

Not trying to be insulting or nothing cuz you ****ed the bookies first round of the NHL playoffs with your series predictions but there was also the Caps beating the Habs in 4 with your money on it.

[bygspenda]

I'm assuming this thread is designed to jinx the Suns into the NBA finals. I can't believe the number of threads over the last week saying how useless Phoenix is and how the Spurs are gonna thrash the living daylights out of them. I don't take any anti-Suns posts seriously anymore. Let the games do the talking and criticize afterwards.

Amare will dominate inside. The biggest weakness of the Lakers is the pick n roll defense, and no duo is better at that in the league than Amare and Nash. Amare's outside game is going to keep Gasol on his toes, Amare will get his every game of this series- watch.

In Phoenix's half court sets this will definitely be their gameplan and of course the Lakers will plan for it and try to prevent it. I just think that any opportunity where run-n-gun is available they'll try to capatilize.

I can see some high scoring games in this series and I'll hit the opening Over pretty hard I think.

Nah no insult taken. This is the nba things go to script for the most part. Suns are playing great ball and if they lose game 1 we know with phils record after winning game 1 they have almost no chance so they better win game 1. The lakers are a superior team and they present giant matchup problems in the paint that the spurs didn't. Suns can win 2 games here but that's it. The lakers are playing solid right now and are slowly starting to peak into form. La already overcame there hurdle in round 1. Suns are not gonna beat la and those who think they are go and play suns for the series. Just as quickly as the spurs folded don't be surprised if the suns are in a very similar spot in ten - twelve days. Things can change in a hurry.

yeah- PHX will run every time. Gasol is offensively gifted bro, but there is absolutely no way he can even attempt to slow Amare down. I'm assuming Phil is going to put Artest on J Rich. And Gentry may put Grant on Kobe. Artest, J Rich is the key matchup- I think they'll get the better of one another at different points in this series, and the times where Rich gets the better, Suns will win the game.

They might... but lakers will still win the series.

[CashMoney27]

Bol lets take the books today

Rivalry series. Both teams win at home. Lakers win in 6.

Well said. The Suns are improved and are likely to make this an entertaining series and competetetive if they shoot well from 3, but at the end of the day the question we should be asking here is..Lakers in 5 or Lakers in 6?


With the Suns improved defense and outside shooting ability they can make a game of it, but late in the 4Q we all know the Lakers will flip the switch and lock there ass down over the final 2 minutes and then it's lights out for the Suns.


Personally, I am hoping for a competetetive series since I don't have a dog in the race here.

[SportsTerminator]

Never say never... that Lakers bench I don't know... LOL

[shawnkang]

i wish raja bell was still on the suns. i still remember the close line he gave kobe . this will be a good series, dont expect the suns just to roll over

[excel]

Depends if kobe is "on"

[nbarlotta3]

THe series will be a lot closer than people think. THe suns are actually playing defense now. Watch out LA.

[suicidekings]

This series could mean a TON of profit if played correctly... Can't wait for this and the eastern final to start.

[beanbag]

Lakers will win.. everybody knows it!

[jojo85]

should be good finals!

[Mexes]

suns have NO chance against the lakers

[MrSink]

suns are weird team for me
I put Spurs on finals few days ago. It was so quick series and Spurs didnt win any single game. In my opinion lakers will have easy way to entrace into finals, but hope for good matches.

[napalmrain]

I hope Suns go all the way Nash deserves a ring

[landers781]

I cant wait til this suns team is outta my hair. Nothing but annoying to me this whole year
