Lakers Vs Suns

[Janett_Reno]

I am not a Laker fan but i give credit where credit is due and this team is not good but really good. Gasol is so good it isn't funny. This guy can take it hard to the rim and you will either foul him or he is going to either dunk on you or shoot a sweeping hook from close to the goal. Kobe is the best in the game, so i won't go into him.

This now frees Odom up to just do what he can and when he is not made to be a star, he is really good. Fisher has always been under rated. Vujacic can shoot but this guy will drive on you to. They give Radmon that big contract and they don't need him but he does have size and at times could maybe help shooting from outside. Walton has always been solid but how much time will he ever get now? This was without Bynum tonight and they could get a mint for Bynum.

This lineup is so good because it is hard to defend Odom and Gasol both and no one defends Kobe. What a steal they got in Gasol. This team is championship material and now i see what everyone is talking about.


Phx & Shaq

He had a good game. He played hard and without him i think Phx would have blown out Phx at Phx. Amare is so good. Phx can't let teams shoot almost 60% on them at Phx. They are going to have to play some defense. Shaq helped on defense and maybe without him the Lakers shoot about 65%. Who knows. Grant Hill looks good. They need Diaw to play hard and good again.

Shaq could not stop the Lakers. I know Phx wanted a stopper and him and Amare are big under the goal but Gasol takes you out on the wing and like a track meet, flys across the middle with the ball, one on one, and if you do not cut him off it is a dunk, cut him off it is a hook at the basket, plus the Lakers pass good. Phil Jackson is smart and playing this way is going to be tough on Duncan and tough on Shaq because Gasol goes out, brings the bigs out and now he goes hard at the goal. Who sits when Bynum returns or do they go at most positions around 7 feet tall. I did not like what i saw because i now know how good they are.

They did not stop Phx alot either but Phx usually scores. Phx did score 60 points in the paint and Lakers 56. LA was just hot from all over. I can see where Shaq has slowed down. I was surprised he played that long and did good but you could tell he really got a work out. Phx is good but they must learn to play some defense and now i want to see SA play the Lakers and see how they match up. Farmar isn't bad either.
