Does anyone notice that the Lakers and the Suns are being more aggresive?

Kobe certainly noticed when he got his ass kicked by Bell.

Everyone does seem to be getting it all chopped off.  Nash, Nowitzki, Ginobili.  Somebody needs to tell Chris Kaman that it's his turn!

The Spurs are 10 times better than the Heat....so i guess so long as they don't piss the refs off or the commissioner...and they can get past Dallas ...hey anything can happen in a league that is as fake as wrestling..caramel..if they were a better team there would be no problem....fact is they have one great player and one old slow guy who cant shoot free throws....fortunate for you they have a league office that does not like Cuban and plenty of incompetent refs...sorry there is no way in hell the Heat are a better team....theyre not better than San Antonio either and I dont believe they could beat Phoenix either...sorry if the truth hurts...just telling you the truth.

The only people going for the Clippers now are the people who wanted the Lakers to win. Suns will definetly get their wins against them. My guess 4-2.

i hope so...Raja has been the primary defender since the Lakers-Sixers series in 2001. He and Kobe have had this 'feud' since then. Kobe tried to deny it today, but obviously from last night's game footage you can see the rivalry brewing.  The Laker crowd will be hyped up.  The suns will also miss Bell's 3 point shooting, 5th in the league (44%). He is shooting 43% from behind the arc in the postseason.  However, I am hoping the Suns will win because Kobe's numbers have gone down significantly and also the face that I can not stand Kobe or the Lakers at all.

Maybe not.\n\nLakers did won the last five games, but Chris Paul only played 24 mins on 4/19, Steve Nash and Raja Bell didn't play on 4/16, Clppers was trying to lose to get the six seed.  The other two teams are Golden States and Portland.\n\nLakers lost three out of four games to Phoenix this year, the only winning game is the one on 4/16.  Those three games Lakers average lost more than 12 points.\n\nPhoenix is definitely easier than Spurs, but we'll see.

-They got their hopes up to soon and showed too much pride. \n-Watching the Suns, they hardly ever get into fights or start yelling unless they were cheated really badly. \n-As for Kobe derseving MVP, what other proof do lakers fans have other then the fact that he led in scoring. \n-The Suns team was also very young but with Nash's help he made his team look like true championships. \n\nJust like Kobe, some Laker's fans also are snobby. They just don't want to accept the fact that they got beat by a team that was 10 times better them.

Part of his lack of aggression is that Referees are starting to call offensive fouls more often when he plows into a guy on the way to the hoop.  He needs to play in that system, so he needs to be more careful.\n\nI believe he is slowing down, though, as age and all that weight seem to be taking a toll on his body.

Agree.Mainly because of the Nash vs. Kobe for MVP thing going on.

This is due simply to the fact that the rest of the players are getting too big and athletic for a center to dominate.  It was different when Wilt was out there and he was a foot taller than everyone else.  Now these 7 foot centers are going up against 6'11 Power fwds and 6'8 GUARDS ie. Kobe and Lebron.  There is no way that a true center can really keep up with these guys anymore.  They are truly a dying breed.

I agree with u man.  They need to be more enthusiastic and cheer them.  That may be a reason why the Lakers also didn't play with much enthusiasm against the Bucks tonight.  I think that the fans need to hype the players, so they play with more energy.  A crowd really helps, but they have to get involved.  Sadly, I'm a lakers fan and live in Hawaii.  If I was at staples you'd hear me yelling for them.

Nash because Kobe is an @$$ and a poor sport besides.\nKobe wouldn't even shake Nash's after the Suns beat the Lakers in the last game of last season. Plus, he broke Mike Bibby's nose last year, or the year before... I don't remember which.

yes, they still have to focus on their goal. the championship of course. and nash and the suns have been trouble for the mavs, but i think by beating SA they have gotten over the hump , which is also a HUGE mental hill they were able to surpass. they can do it as long as they stick w/ their plan and work as a team as the only other true 'team' left is detroit. the other teams have only a few players which can hurt dallas, as the spurs did.
