Lakers fans have done this in every thread for a series the Suns have played since they were eliminated. It'd be nice, but it's not likely to happen.

All of this is pointless. If you build a team around two players - one who has a history of injuries and the other who is an older player - you can't be surprised when your team suffers injuries. The lakers were the #7 seed because this was basically how their entire season went - Davis being hurt and James suffering nagging injuries. This was nothing new for the playoffs. This was what they were this year.

And you can play "shoulda, coulda, woulda" all you want, but it doesn't mean anything. They were one and done. Accept it and move on.

Because I saw Milwaukee play great defense last night and get better shots while Phoenix made a lot of tough ones. I think the tide changes with Phoenix on the road and it goes back to Phoenix 2-2. Last night was NOT game 1.


Or...the Suns make adjustments to what the Bucks were doing. Seems likely. And all the people talking about Bucks going home...I don't see that advantage. If anything it's more pressure on the Bucks. And the Suns play just as good on the road. It doesn't phase them at all.


Brooklyn didn't see Milwaukee's home advantage either. You must be REALLY new to this if you don't see the advantage of being at home. It's actually ridiculous to even say, but you did anyway.
