I think that the Lakers- after the Pistons and the Hornets and the Spurs- are finally playing like a team. Sure- they are getting 40 from Kobe every once in a while, but he is their superstar. Odom has been red-hot, and Smush along with a few other bench players have been doing great to give them the win. They finally realize team ball is the key. And they have taken 7th seed, 1.5 behind Memphis for 6th. The #1 thing best to do in the second half of the NBA season is heat up and go hard down the stretch of the last 30 games to make a playoff spot. You'll see- the Lakers are for real now. They've always been on and off- but I think that they all have finally realized that it's not giving it to Kobe. Kwame helps in the post, defense and offense both. Smush is a scorer, Lamar is an all-around and Kobe is the super-star. I think that the Lakers can go all the way- no joke. They've beat the Mavs, Spurs, Pistons, Heat, Clippers, but we still have the Suns. Let's go Lakers.

Do they have what it takes? Yes.  Will they? Don't know.  I think so, but the series could go either way.  Regardless, the winner of the series will win the NBA championship.  There is only one team that can beat the Mavs in a 7 game series, and that is the San Antonio Spurs.  That being said there is only one team that can beat the Spurs in a 7 game series and that is the Dallas Mavericks.  With Dallas resting I think they have a very good chance to take out the Spurs, especially with Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili not at 100% and they proved they could beat them in their house with the last match-up in the regualr season.  This series goes 6 or 7 and Dallas wins.  At least I hope so, being a Dallas fan.  One thing I can guarantee is that I will be screaming at the TV during all of the games.  And hopefully Robert Horry will keep his mouth to himself!

They will get bounced by the Utah Jazz in the first round of the playoffs. Kobe is no MJ... get six rings and then maybe... he does not make anyone on his team better... Jordan made Luc Longley legit...Oh yeah, there is this one other thing... Kobe is a rapist that walked away because the victim did not want to have her life ruined further by having to face him in a courtroom.\nWho cheats on a gorgeous wife with a newborn child?\nWho runs Shaq out of LA because he would rather score 82 points in a game and never see another NBA finals in his career? The answer is Kobe... A great player- a bad human.

Hey, Ive got some OCEANFRONT property in Arizona if you believe that they buried the hatchet... Come on now, SHAQ disses Kobe every chance he gets, it is subtle, but there. The only REUNION will be KOBE standing in SHAQS house watching the BIG MAN get his ring for the first game of the season.... and seeing SHAQ smile and flash the ring at KOBE. Lakers SUCK for doing Shaq like they did, hell Phil came back for  10 MILLION, NOT KOBE, hell, he talked shit about him in his book!!!

The suns are the best team left in the playoffs , they run and gun, and everyone thinks they can keep up with them, but the fall into that trap, i love the suns, i am a die hard fan. Steve nash two time mvp is the best point guard ever, the pheonix suns this year were not supposed to make it anywhere, with the injury to amare stoudamire, and kurt thomas, and all the trades that went on we were not supposed to be better than .500. But we perceviered, we had he mvp on the team and he said we will never quit, then out of no where players like raja bell, tim thomas, and boris diaw had break out years, and lets not even talk about shawn marion. his team has a full head of steam and no noe can stop then. I look for the suns to win this game in 5 games. Ill give dallas 1 game.

i was at the game...the clippers played a great game...but the fact are..when 1 player tries to win the game(kobe) or (brand)the suns run all over them..the clippers have the tallest team in the nba right now and are able to get many more rebounds and still lost...the suns have far too much fire power...and the 3 point shot is gonna drop all night long..the suns will win this in 5 they have heart that is not gonna quit..its gonna be a fast and quick series for the suns

Hello!? Did someone say Phoenix? Well I hate to say this being a Nash fan, but the Suns have NO answer for Kobe Bryant. This guy showed us that he can pass when the stakes are high and chips are low. He pumped it into Odom and company while grabbing 29 or whatever for himself. This guy scored 81, so the Suns HAVE to guard him tight, or he'll SMOKE them. However, when they guard him with 2 guys he is sooo good at finding the open man. \n\nEither way the Suns are FOOL--fresh out of luck.

The Lakers are not going to win against the Suns in Pheonix. Even though the Suns are playing at home thats not the biggest reason why they are going to win. The biggest reason the Suns are gonna win is because of their depth. They have different makers coming off the bench and all the Lakers have is Kobe. Kobe is a fantastic player but as you can see in the last game they cant win if he scores almost more than half of his team's points. Basketball is a team sport and if you dont make your team mates better than you will lose the game. And who makes his team better than Steve Nash?? Thats why hes the MVP for the second time in a row.
