OT Lakers @ Suns

[Denny Crane]

Lakers down by 10 in Q2. They could be going back to LA tied 2-2!

 

[Rhal]

Such an insane quarter... I think there was 4 minutes there were the suns and the lakers hit every shot with most of them being three's.

 

[TripTango]

So much hunger...

Fire Phil Jackson, he's getting completely out coached by Gentry. Where are the adjustments???

ExAcTlY.

Just like the Thunder series, we'll go back to LA, win, finish off Suns at their home.

Beware. Suns are bigger and better than the Thunder.

What's so funny? Robin Lopez and Amare Stoudemire are better than anyone on the Thunder's front line. Suns won 54 games in the regular season and they gone 10-4 in the playoffs. How are the Thunder better?

I'm not disagreeing.. I'm just laughing at how you throw so many predictions around hoping something will stick.

So you think the Lakers miss Trevor Ariza and his 3 point shooting yet? You will note, that the last 2 games Phoenix has done to LA exactly what they did to us, and to San Antonio. Who is getting the shot? Derek Fisher from the perimiter. Lamar Odom from the perimeter. That is what Phoenix is giving them. Just like they gave San Antonio Richard Jefferson from the perimeter. Just like they gave most of Portlands players the perimeter. If you don't nut up and hit your jumpers, they are going to disrespect you, and play a zone.

Too true! KS is our resident yoga master -- he can take every position. Suns are soft/tough and vulnerable/unbeatable. Lakers are old/dominant and falling apart/hungry for the title!

How could the Lakers not counter that zone? You can't let a team play zone for most of 2 games in the playoffs and win. You just can't. Either Phil Jackson is getting out coached or the players can't execute.

My KingSpeed prediction: Suns in 6

 

[XXPrimusXX]

Yeah is was that easy too, just walked right over those Thunder in Game 6 huh?

Fakers: 95
OKC: 94

I'm glad the fans and players were looking ahead to the Finals against the Celtics and got slapped firmly in the face.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Just like the Thunder series, we'll go back to LA, win, finish off Suns at their home.

And then, just like 2008, get killed in the finals by the Celtics.

You know the vocal minority would blame it on coaching. Though, I'd guess it has more to do with poor execution.

 

[KingSpeed]

Going to the game. Can't wait!

 

[Denny Crane]

Magic/Suns Finals!

If Stern wants it then yea sure, it will happen.

We now know that the Suns should lose.

So you're saying I'm the most powerful man in basketball? I have control over who wins and loses? Perhaps you should take advantage of my powers and bet 10K on the Lakers. It's a sure thing, right? This is gonna be fun. For the rest of my life, I will control who wins the championship.

 

[KingSpeed]

LOTS of empty seats. Amazing.

 

[ABM]

If the L*kers lose this game, blame Ron Artest. What a friggin' ill-advised shot (PLENTY of clock) following the Lakers' OR.

Not so fast. Just wow.

fhuck that

 

[Sex Panther]

wow.

Give the Suns credit, though. I thought it was a lost game halfway through the 4th.
