Lakers vs. Phoenix Thread
I'm having trouble deciding who I should root for.
Please help me out here  Believe or not, I think the Lakers have a genuine shot of winning this one.

I'm rooting for Phoenix. And not because I can't stand Kobe, but because I want an eventfull WCF.

Lakers have NO SHOT! They have one scorer... and that is not enough against the Suns. 5 games at most.

I checked at the predictions at ESPN and most of the geniuses predicted a Lakers win. I think Kobe alone will give Suns' defense fits... coupled with Lamar Odom's occasional contribution, the Lakers may win 1 or 2 games. That's about it.

I'm looking forward to this series. it's always fun to see great scorers play against the Suns...Kobe could easily average 45.
The question is, how many minutes per game can he spend on Nash without getting worn down and hurting his offense? Probably not many but Phil has that ace in his pocket if it's close in the last five minutes.

Root for a wildly entertaining seven game series, with Game 7 going to triple-OT time...

Rooting for the Lakers, but fairly certain that the Suns put them away fairly early.

I want the Lakers to win, even though I hate them and absoulutley despise Kobe with a burning passion. I think the Suns have the best chance of beating us out of all the teams we would possibly play. It would be nice to have them be eliminated early, so we can focus on the Spurs and Pistons, two teams which I feel we matchup with better.

I am behind the Suns here, and quite honestly, I think they are going to run the Lakers out of the building.
Kobe is going to try and run with the Suns, and the Suns are going to drop 130 and dare the Lakers too top it.

Game 1 is pretty good so far, 64-55.
I can't believe I'm saying this, but C'mon Lakers!

Are you guys watching the same game that I am?
They are playing a half court walk it up game - totally NOT suns tempo....This is the genius of Phil Jackson. If teh mavs meet the suns in the conference finals, they better be reviewing film from this game very closely. Last edited by rakesh.s; 04-23-2006 at 04:13 PM. |

This must be discouraging for the suns, the Fakers are only down 2, and Kobe really hasn't done a whole lot.

Now Kobe is trying to do everything himself. This is why I hate him, he either doesn't pass or doesn't shoot, his pass vs. shoot balance is terrible.

Thomas is much more physical than KVH...and probably has a lot more talent, athletism, and years left than KVH. He looks really big out there on the court....maybe hes on steroids....but anyway...whocares the Lakers lost...I m happy.

Lakers won't sniff a win. And I really hate that because I want phoenix to get spanked.
