still no killer mentality yet, I hope they can come out firing in the 1st qtr like Gm1 and completely silence the crowd.

From an outsider's perspective it seems like you guys are just cruising. Having played bball my whole life you guys are saving your energy I can tell for the later rounds. This series is over in 5 games wouldn't be surprised at a sweep.

Killer instinct will come against better teams in later rounds.


As a Suns fan I want no part of you in the Western Conference Finals but we'll have to if the Suns advance. Spurs will be tough but who do you see winning that series suns or spurs?

dont lose gm 2 and dont let SA rattle them in gm 3/4 and I think Suns can get it done. Honestly I dont think SA lost any confidence by losing gm 1, they had big runs twice to cut the lead and or take it but at the same time Pho didn't wilt like Dall and continued to make their own run. But dam where the hell did Jrich come from all of a sudden. While your analyst might be correct bout coasting, I dont like that now that we are in the 2nd round, if you have a chance to stomp an opponent and completly demoralize them you do it, it can help shorten the series.

I know it's not right place for this but I'm not gonna make a new thread for this. In game two Joe Bryant saw his son play in person for the first time ? How's that even possible ? I've heard that they had some differences in past but was is that serious ?
E: Was is his first time ever or in five years ? I'm little confused here.

^ i heard his parents didnt show to his wedding either

Mama drama aside. Here are Bryant's productivity over the last 3 games. He obviously won't be %100 until after the season, but how about these numbers for a guy who couldn't crack 15 early on in the Thunder series? Give credit to the warrior he's been. He dropped in another stellar night, pouring in 22 in the second part of last night's meeting while finding his teammates early on. I like what I'm seeing.

32 pts 7 rebounds 3 assists %48.0
31 pts 3 rebounds 4 assists %63.2
30 pts 5 rebounds 8 assists %45.5

Jason Richardson has been on fire this playoffs.

He's been hitting jumpers and 3's like it's nothing almost. I'm hoping he keeps this up and keeps playing solid defense. He's also a great rebounder something we need since Amar'e is inconsistent in that area.

I'm hoping to get Robin Lopez back healthy at some point in this 2nd round series so we can take down the Spurs and get ready for you guys in the conference finals.

I'll be making it up to LA for a game if that happens.

I went to Suns Lakers 1st round in 2007 sat 5th row lower level at Staples which cost me a pretty penny but actually we found tickets that weren't THAT ridiculous. I think we paid 300 dollars a piece me and my buddy we were 17 at the time we flew to LA for the game. That was when the Lakers had all stars like Kwame Brown and Smush Parker starting. Honestly that's like playing 3 on 5 hahaha

I'm saying Lakers will win in 5. Kirilenko returns helps lead the Jazz to a win the mormons go nuts then Lakers get a hard earned game 4 win with Kobe hitting daggggggers all game long then Game 5 is a laugher where the fans are most interested in looking at the blonde girls big tits in the seat next to them than the game.

The bigs were dominant.. something we've been waiting.

Good news for us and bad news for the rest of the league, Andrew Bynum and Pau Gasol have figured out how to play together.

+1 you beat me to it. Who would have imagined that in the playoffs where multiple elements come into play they would figure out how to play alongside each other. I feel as if Phil has a lot to do with it. He isn't playing Drew in long bursts but in short stretches. I might be wrong but whatever is going on is clearly working.

[lakersdynasty]

man wtf is farmar doing, i guess he already know he won´t be signed, pg´s are supposed to think the game, not be stupid

[crazy8ights]

a big point I saw in the game was Kobe playing with the second unit.
