I say we have a 15% chance right now. If we loose tonight, then the odds go down close to zero. NOBODY ever came back from 3-0 down, and I don't think the Suns will do it if thats the case.

"Yes we can!!" ha ha ... sorry couldn't resist.

We still only need to win our home games and one away game. That's what we needed to do at the start of the series as far as I remember. Having said that we are now in a position where every game outside of one away game is a must-win.

If we win both home games I think all this negativity will settle down a bit ... if we don't then we're stuffed!

It's possible...they would have play the rest of the games in this series like they did against the Spurs.

If we win game 3 then momentum shift our way and we can tie up the series at 2-2. But one game at a time, Let's focus on game 3 first.


Lakers giving up a lot of points to Phx in this series but we need stops in order to win. If La scores over 110+ tonight then id be nervous.

+1. The Lakers haven't done anything special as of yet, as in they have only done what they were expected to do by winning at home. Series doesn't start until someone wins on the road.................hmmmmmmm does that mean if everyone wins their home games that there was never a series at all? :lol:

Me. If we can win both these home games we're right back in the series at 2-2...
The Phoenix Suns - 54-28. Projected Record: 54-28 3rd Seed

The Phoenix Suns - 2010-2011 Projected Record: 30-52 3rd lottery pick.

I truly believe that the Suns are winding up their play. They have been playing down to their opponents against the Trailblazers. Then when it made a difference played solid and steady, calm and collected against the Spurs. Now they go into a hostile LA and lose two. What I see is that they were shocked and awed in the first game. Then they settled down a little starting hitting some shots in game 2. They actually tied it up at 90.

Which shows to me that they are increasing their level of play. This game will show some heart. Win games 3 and 4. I think tonight will be a close one. But I BELIEVE!

Don't think about series records and historical stats. Just one game at a time...

I want the Suns to win the series, but realistically, the chances are very slim. The Lakers, barring injury to Gasol, Odom or Bryant, are too well coached and too big for the Suns to get advantage off.... the Spurs atleast had only Duncan inside to worry about, the Lakers have Odom, Gasol and Bynum, threath to score 20 and grab 10 rebounds each.

I'll consider it a win for the Suns if they knock Kobe and Andrew on their ***** and rough them up so the Cs can sweep the rest of the dust bunnies. :D

Too much to think about winning four of five games. Just have to win tonight and then see what happens Tuesday. Suns need to play some defense for sure and they need Frye to make a shot and Amare to get some rebounds. Who knows - we'll see - but we will know a lot more after tonight as to whether the Suns can win the series or not.

If you think of it, the Lakers dominated the first two games because it seemed like they could never miss. I don't recall any team scoring such a high percentage on the Suns this season, and I don't think the Lakers will be able to continue their high efficiency offensively in Phoenix. If they do, then Suns are gone.

All the Lakers accomplished was to hold serve on there home court. Good teams are expected to do that.

If when you lose at home is when you should start to worry.

I hope this game goes to 6 games. A sweep is just plain disheartening!
