    Amare still hasn't changed.

    Padding his stats in last minutes of the games.

    Lakers vs Rocks
    Fisher > Alston
    Kobe > Tmac
    Bynum < Yao
    Gasol > Scola
    Odom > battier
    Bench > bench
    Phil > Adelman

    Man I don't think we have a good chance unless we get artest or rubin patterson. We need a kobe stopper.

    People shouldn't be surprised Suns lost.

    Lakers are the best in the west.

    but they are so ****ing lucky they got Gasol for free. :mad:

    Lakers don't need Bynum if the other players are healthy. Add a productive Bynum to what they have now and they are the clear favorite for the NBA title.

    Nash is running out of gas.

    He doesn't seem to have legs under him anymore.

    Lakers are the best team in basketball and they can win it all this year. They have the inside game. They have the outside game. They have role players. They have the best player in the league. They have the best coach in the league. They have the most clutch player in the league. And they might have the home court thru out.

    The lakers sure have turned it around fast this season. It seemed like yesterday kobe was demanding to be traded because he didn't feel the lakers could contend, and now he's playing on the best team in the league.

    The Lakers are very good. They have the right pieces for their system. Gosal is a great fit for the triangle. Odom is doing much better with less pressure on him. Kobe is going to be Kobe. And imagine when Bynam comes back next month. More importantly, their key guys are all good FT shooters. That's going to be crucial in the playoffs. I wouldn't want to face this team in the playoffs.

    I am afraid of the Lakers. They are so talented and so deep, and so young.

    If we wanna win the championship, we'd better do it this year, because the Lakers will dominate down the road. Bynum is so very young (and recovering from injury), Gasol is new, so they are not peaking yet.

    Tmac is declining, Bynum is rising fast, we better do it now!

    Great game. This is what the NBA has been looking for. We all remember 2006 as one of, if not the, best years since Jordan retired. However, I think this year already surpasses 2006. We've seen the resurgence of Boston, the rejuvenation of the Lakers, and the Gasol, O'Neil, and Kidd trades. All of this has added to the excitement with so much competition in the West this year. The West playoffs this year are building up to be legendary from top to bottom. The East? Still not great, but the Celtics and Pistons can hang with anybody. This is just the kind of impact the NBA needs. Once again, great game.

    Amare had a big game, but that is no Bynum. Bynum owned him this season.

    Nobody wins 82 games in the NBA. The hawks are not crap anymore. Plus that was Gasol's 2nd game as a laker? Didn't Kobe just injury his pinky?

    Kobe injured his pinky in New Jersey then they played in a back to back game against Atlanta, we destroyed them just last game as payback.

    Pretty much every big man in the league has had a good game against the Suns this year. Amare, for all his talents, do not play much defense other than trying to block a shot from the weakside.
