Suns all the way. They will rip Kobe's heart out along with the rest of the Lakers

The Jazz are below .500, but without Kobe, the Lakers are going to rely on guys like Odom and Smush Parker. So I believe the Lakers will lose both games vs. the Jazz.

Kobe is always gettting better and better and he always surprises everyone when everyone thinks they have him figured out. Lakers are going to win against the Suns

If I can stay away from this game, I would.  If not, I'll take Lakers -4.  The public is on Jazz.  Just look at everybody here, they are expecting Jazz to win.

the suns are going to win this series..the clippers played a great first game..but look anytime any 1 player like kobe or elton brand try to hold the team on their own...the suns run right over them...the suns have way to much fire power..and they will hit the 3 pointer at will and will not be stopped by the clippers...suns in 5..i will almost guarantee it

Absolutely.  Just look at the record against the Lakers in the playoffs.  In the games the Suns lost, which were all really close games, the officiating was questionable at best.  When the referees were unbiased, the Suns crushed the Lakers.  \n\nSimply put, the Suns are the best in the west.

the lakers arn't the same without the 3peat team. I like shaq and any team he's with. Go Miami Heat, but I don't think they're in the playoffs

I also think the Suns are going to win,for the simple fact they made Kobe sit out of a game damn game 7 was crazy.That team has alot of teamwork going on and definely will beat the clippers.

I'll go with the Jazz, primarily because the Jazz are doing so well at what they do best - play as a team.  The Kobe-show is fun to watch on the highlight reel, but to really get the job done, you've got to get everybody involved.  Even Michael Jordan played as a team player and he was 10 times the individual player that Kobe is.\n\nAnd as for the guy who said "The Mormons" will win . . . none of the Jazz players are Mormon.

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'll pick the Lakers because they are the team I've always cheered for ~ they exceeded expectations last year and really had a nice push into the playoffs. They were the second youngest team last year, I think this year they will be very good. \n\nNow. On to reality! \n\n1. Chicago Bulls look really good. \n2. LeBron's Turn, the world wants this kid to win, win, win. \n3. Miami will tank. They relied on emotion and a fourth-quarter D-Wade every time, this can not go on. \n4. I'd keep a wary eye on the Mavericks, they are very hungry and well coached. \n5. It's the sunset years for the Spurs, so sad to see, what a great decade and what a great team. \n6, Steven Nash won't three-peat the MVP, he's just too old and rickety. If Amare doesn't return to his old self, the Suns are way too soft in the middle. \n7. The Clippers are better than everyone thinks -- I think they'll shock a few teams who discount them in the playoffs. \n8. Detroit and the Pacers both are headed south. \n9. I have a soft spot in my heart for Houston. I like Yao and Tracy, didn't they pick up someone? Shane Battier maybe? Some role player who'll really help that team. I've not seen them yet this year though. \n\nSo, I'll pick the Lakers over the Bulls in six games. Phil Jackson is a much better coach than anyone has given him credit for. Like Riles in the Showtime era, they think he just rolls the ball out on the court. Phil knows the 82 game season is just that, a long tune up time for the playoffs. His teams are usually peaking going into the playoffs instead of exhausted like so many eager coaches teams. Kobe proved himself with 81 points and a scoring title -- hopefully he's finally matured into an adult.
