I love this years playoff games. Every game is exciting to watch.7 games have been decided by 5 or less points. All the games have been awesome. Lakers-Suns is the best series so far.
Suns vs. Lakers should be the best finish but Wizards vs. Cavs, NJ Nets vs. pacers and Kings vs. Spurs should be fun to watch as well.

it isn't all Nash's fault. No one else is stepping up, and Phil Jackson is a beast. He's drawn up the best possible game plan, and he's getting Kobe to listen to it.But i'm loving the playoffs too, even theo my Cs aren't in it.Just think if Barry's 3-ball wouldn't have gotten that lucky bounce.. Sacto would actually be winning 2-1 right now. Damn you Brent Barry!

Hell Yeah the Lakers game is nasty I wish Lakers win I hate Nash and Suns, I only like Amare and Shawn.
I am having a new found respect for Phil Jackson and his coaching style.That first game that the Lakers basically "gave up" feeling out the Suns, and by getting Kwame and Lamar IN the series early was pure genious...especially if they pull it off and win the series...then I'd make a good case ffor them to make it to the West fFinals...alot farther than I woudl ahve thought originally.
To me, it's between Phil and Greg Popvich for the best coash in the league. But what Jackson is doing is truly amazing.
Well there are some others very good coaches in the league, doing great jobs.Of course PJ and Pop are at the top of that list. But Larry Brown, till this year, Mike D'antoni, Jerry Sloan, Flip, and even Avery are moving up on them.
If the Lakers somehow beat the suns they will not get past the Clippers. The Clippers are for real. It would be close but I give the Clipps the advantage.
Man I like how the Clipps are put together, but they are still a very inexperienced team with just Cassell having major playoff experience.I think that if Phil and Kobe could come up with a way to beat the Suns, I'm almost positive they could find a way to beat the Clipps.Hell as a Mavs or Spurs fan, the way the Lakers are playing would scare me right now...especially if they go from beating high octane PHX to beating big front court LA Clippers in back to back series.
Well, Lakers are pretty nice, and Phoenix plays horrible defense no matter how good the other team is, but it must be hard to suddenly adjust to Kobe passing it up.
I wouldn't go that far. The lakers seem to have the suns number. It is clear cut what you do to the suns but not with the Clippers. I guess you want to run against the Clippers and Kobe would get more shots. Odom could take Brand off the dribble some as well.
The way Kobe played in Game 2 was great 29 points with what 7 assists and 10 boards. I'd rather have those numbers than a 36 ppg. Dirk is playing great too they are both making strong cases on why they should have been MVP rather than Nash.
Well, the Lakers seem dominant, but Phoenix NOT playing defense is finally catching up with them, despite Shawn Marion.
Nash has been playing well. Basically, he is the only one on that team who has been consistent. Just his teammates can not make an open shot.
