Hey, a win is a win. GO SUNS!\n\nAs a matter of fact, they actually missed 15 straight threes which is completely unheard of for this suns team. And hey, this is the suns FIRST win when the margin of victory is three points or less. Couldnt come at a better time.\n\nThe Suns won because there wasnt a huge rebound gap like there usually is. They got outrebounded by like 1 rebound i think. That is why other teams score on them, as they grab so many more rebounds than the suns do. If the Suns keep it close, they can always win. Also, they also hit 9 more free throws than the Clips which helps bridge the gap in FG%.\n\nNo such thing as enemy territory when it comes to the Clips. After all, they play in the Staples Centre which is where the Lakers play, so the Suns already have played their. Only difference is the colours.

Hell ya they are Awesome, Game 7 spurs will win. Michael Finley showed his ass tonight, Parker really need to step his game up, we need him more. Manu is cool, never no what hes going to do, Duncan need to become more of a outside shooter and the spurs will be more better, I just liked them. I hope the suns beat the clippers, then phenoix will have to deal with the spurs lol.

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.

Denver won the division champion so they are the 3rd seed, but their record is only 44W-38L.  Clippers have a record of 47W-35L.  The rule says the better record team get the home court advantage.\n\nIt's a weird system, but it's to protect a very cometitive league.  Because teams play more within their devision, a competive devision can make the record of division champion look very bad.  So in the foreseeable feature, it probably won't be changed.

The Clippers get their butts handed to them by Denver two games ago, then they destroy the Suns. What's lacking for the Clippers is consistency. The need better perimeter defense. I know Shaun Livingston, I've seen him play in high school. We are both from Peoria, IL. Livingston will one do be a very good player, however, 11 point and 13 assists against the Suns was good, he can't do it every game. It's ok tho, he's still very young and he's learning. The good news is, Brand can go for 4-5 more years, Kaman is stepping up big time, he's now one of the top 5 centers in the game, Livingston should come around in the next 2 seasons. Look out for the Clippers, they should be good for years to come. I'll take the Clippers tonight because of their inside presence of Brand and Kaman, however, look for Bibby or another guard to have a huge game tonight. Go Clipps

I knew right from the beginning that the Lakers were going to lose.  Just the first few minuets into the 1st quarter the SUNS were already ahead by 10.  The closest the Lakers ever gone to the SUNS were 10 points they just couldn't keep up.

The way the Lakers beat Detroit, I would say,"HELL YEAH". I'm putting my money on the HEAT to beat the PISTONS in 6 if ever Detroit make it to the Eastern Finals. Here's the thing, your NBA Finals this year will be between, the HEAT and the SUNS. Is it hot in here or what?

Yes the stars did well, its just the bench almost blew the game. They weren't agressive, trying to shoot outside shots. They never made them. D'Antoni was frustrated with them and he wanted Nash and Stoudemire have a break, but he had to put them back in because of the bench's horrible job.

As much as I like Phoenix this year in the playoffs for beating LA twice, they have almost no chance against the Dallas Mavericks.\n\nThese guys almost lost the opening round to the Lakers. And they got taken to seven games by two of the three worst playoff teams in the Western Conference (the other being the Nuggets.) Had they been in the other bracket in the West, the Suns don't even make it out of the first round.  It doesn't matter who they play.  Yes, that means they would have even lost to the Grizzlies.\n\nDallas, meanwhile, knocked off the best Grizzlies team in franchise history, in a SWEEP.  Then they defeated the reigning NBA champions in a seven game series, closing out on the road, in an overtime game, overcoming rowdy fans, nearly the best game 7 comeback of all time, strong Spurs momentum from the previous two games and refs whistles getting rid of three of their best defensive players.\n\nThey MADE the Spurs play small ball against them. They dictated the pace of the games and won. They overcame falling just short in game 5, which they should have won (in which case I would be talking about how they knocked off the Spurs in FIVE).  They have the best individual player, the better defense, the better coach, home-field advantage, the more intimidating owner, better overall playmaking ability and offense (check out shot percentage), better free-throw shooting, better team colors, superior half-time show, I could go on and on...\n\nThis won't even go five games.  Mavs in 4.

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 Clippers do. Statistically, this is true because the Clippers have home court advantage, even though they are the lower seed. In the past, the team with home court advantage has won somewhere around 70% of the time. Tonight they won (barely) the first game. Again, historically, teams that win game one win the series about 75% of the time.

fatigue definitely has a huge effect on the suns, they've been playin every other day for weeks now. nobody is more tired than steve nash. even MVPs get wobbly legs, especially at the age of 32.\nas far as the suns goin all the way, im sure they'll have no problems with the clips now, but the mavs are a different story. if dallas is gonna continue its offensive streak, and provided that phoenix gets its much needed rest, suns are gonna run past the mavs, 4-2. then at the finals, anything can happen.

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.

Lakers will regroup and take down the cheap Suns. Steve Nash is no MVP, did u see what he did in Game 4 and what Kobe did?
