<div class="quote_poster">Quoting shapecity:</div><div class="quote_post">Nash is a gamer, he'll be in the game in the 2nd half. It really comes down to defensive stops for the Lakers now. They cannot beat the Suns at small ball, and I'm shocked PJax went even smaller to get back in this game. The Suns strength is speed, quickness, and lights out shooting. You aren't going to out beat them in those areas of the game. You have to beat them by being physical and punishing them in the paint. Near the end of the regular season the Jazz were getting blown out, but then Jerry Sloan went with a power lineup and they brutalized the Suns and eventually won. They outrebounded the Suns and wore them down. Kobe-George-Odom-Turiaf-Kwame This should be the lineup to get the team back in this game.</div> yeah, i agree, but honestly, when our team's success is predicated on players like kwame lifting their game, it's not hard to see why phil would quicky lose confidence and try something else. i agree small ball probably wasn't appropriate, though.

It should be Odom on the low block, with Kwame and Turiaf cleaning up the garbage from the weakside. Turiaf can locate Marion and box him out while Odom and Kwame secure the offensive rebound for a second chance opportunity.

Ronny yes finally! This is the activity we need in the post, he should have been in there a lot earlier.
People, we're going to win! I know we are! Believe me! I'm crazy with these emotions but yeh, I don't know what made me feel like this in the space of 60seconds but I can see us prevailing!
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Laker_fan:</div><div class="quote_post">21 Mother******* points between us. Kobe, go for it. Do it yourself.</div> Yeah he might as well, nothing else is working for the Lakers. Kobe should just take the game over at this point. The other Lakers look lost right now.
I don't get it. Games 1-4 we were focused and strong. Now we just look lost and confused. I am so pissed......
The confidence is gone for the Lakers and now The SUns have it all.... Kobe is doing his thing carrying the lakers...Smush is a scrub and cant make an open shot. Kwame is scared and cant make a short shot over somone much smaller then him. Ive seen crazy stuff I hope lakers can still catch up.

The Lakers have exceeded my expectations, so everything else is just gravy. I just want to see some competitive fire out there for the rest of the game win or lose.
give it to kobe.... become a legend...the rest of the scrubs can play defense.... what a let down from game 4s high...
