I say Suns in 5. The game LA wins is where Kobe scores 40 or more and Odom has a near triple-double, 20 pts, 12 rebs, and 6 asts. I just think PHX has too much depth: Nash, Marion, T. Thomas, K. Thomas, Bell, House, Diaw, and Jones vs Kobe, Odom, Smush, Kwame, and Cook. No one else can really provide instant offense for LA.
Kurt Thomas isn't playing(injured until 3rd round) but you forgot about Barbosa who has been great this season. Grant will be getting some time too. Hopefully he can help out a bit even with no knees.
Tim Thomas is playing great. He's making his 3's and playing tough defense. We'll need that from him with Kurt gone. Barbosa is also doing a nice job. I see a lot of Stephon Marbury in him. He taught him well.
wow, 4 pages before one game even starts. But Phoenix takes this series. They don't have enough weapons, it's that simple. even if Kobe plays great, and every one else plays good, they still won't win.
We've missed a bunch of easy shots however were still in itKobe playing within the offense, in the 2nd quarter odom started abusing their soft interior.Go lakers, we need this :rock:
Someone thought of a new nickname for Barbosa since I was talking about him and Stephon Marbury. "Starbosa" lol, I like it. The Brazilian Blur is just as good too.
Wow, Lakers are tied with PHX right now, and Kobe aint even scoring 40. His teamates are actually helping him, especially Odom and Walton.
102-9722 seconds left. When Marion was shooting that freethrow he said "Give me that mother fucken ball" LOL!!!And did anyone see Kareem's Jacket O_OEDIT: Suns Win!!!!
1- Kobe just could not make a shot untill the final seconds2- Kobe got hacked by Tim thomas, i could hear it3- Smush is a bonafide choker.Anyways this series is on baby :rock:
Remember yesterday when I was stressing how Lebron's assist numbers are so much better than Kobe's because of his teammates, those of you who watched the game tell me Kobe didn't pass the ball extremely well today.

Today's game showed me we can seriously beat these suns. They have sooo many flaws, it's funny.
