    I don't know... it will be tough to win in Phoenix, but the Lakers have Kobe Bryant so you never know. I personally thought last night was do or die for the Lakers, but we'll see.

I picked the Lakers to win the series at the begining of the playoffs, but right now i'm still on the fence.

    I agree. I mean I wanted the Lakers to win the series, but I did pick Phoenix. Then for some reason LA went on to win games 2, 3, and 4. When it was 3-1 I was thinking "wow, LA is really gunna pull the upset." Wrong. I would love for the Lakers to win, and I would also like to see LA vs. LA next, but the reality is, with the game being in Phoenix, plus Raja Bell, I don't see the Lakers pulling this one out. But, hey, just like BigMo763 said, they have Kobe Bryant so you never know. It would be a damn shame if the Lakers would end up losing the series even after they were up 3-1, with no Raja Bell in game 6 (when they were at home!). But we'll see. This is the playoffs, you never know. All I can say is I can not wait until Saturday night.

    Phil Jackson also has some perfect records on the line in the series... He has never lost a first-round series, nor has any of his team's lost a series in which they have had a lead.

    The Lakers have let the momentum shift, it is gonna be tough to win in Phoenix. It depends on which Laker team shows up.

    I don't think they can go into Pheonix and win that game 7. They had the momentum, all they had to do was lock up the series with a win but they haven't done it so what makes you think that they can go to Pheonix and win it. Pheonix is hungry, Lakers are coming off a heartbreaker at home, they are drained.

    I think they will. Jackson is 14-0 in the first round and I do not see that ending. Kobe and Odom playing well, should get them the win.

    I think it's a given Kobe will play good, he just need his helpers to step up. Maybe if Odom and Smush can score 20+ and Kobe gets a decent amount they can get a surefire offence. The problem is they need to keep Phoenix from scoring because they are the best at what they do.

    It's very possible since only 7 other teams have done what the Suns might do. I like the Suns chances though.

    The Suns chances are probably even higher than the Lakers, but I still believe the Suns will be eliminated. I'd also like to see the Lakers and Clippers play, mostly because Lakers a have played so good this season against them.Can you imagine the Lakers going to the quarters? CRAZY!

    4 Words: We have Kobe Bryant.He won't let this one slip away and he's going to make sure it won't slip away.The pick and roll ate us apart the last 2 games ESPECIALLY last night. Phil will find away to get by that. And if we shut that down, the Suns can run all they want. The Lakers will win game 7. And that's a guarantee.

    I don't see the Lakers winning because the Suns have all the momentum and it's at their court

    1. Can the Lakers stop the Suns high powered offense? 2. Can Phil Jackson work his magic?
