    Memo from PHX to LAX: Rumors of our demise have been greatly exaggerated. See you in LA.

    Great !
    All it takes now is for Dragic to explode for one game in LA and the Suns have a realistic chance of winning !

    It's been the opposite the last two games. The Lakers D has really been terrible... Actually, they didn't play that well in game 2 in the 2nd half either... PHX was just missing shots. The Suns are forcing the ball out of Gasol and Bryant and making Odom, Artest, and Fisher to beat them... which is smart. Not to mention, the hustle by the PHX bench has clearly helped them, while the Lakers bench hasn't really done anything.

    Absolutely. That's the story of this game. If the Suns want to pull off this upset, they'll need their bench to continuing stepping up.

    yeah, marv is just so good at announcing games. just has such a good feel for the flow of the game and when to be up and when to tone it down.

    I saw that. I got goose bumps. The GOAT made his presence felt tonight.

    LA is lucky to have all of that talent, and have so many things happen in their favor over the last few years. But, they almost have no ounce of heart on their side and can beaten by tougher teams. How do that let a team that is much smaller and not nearly as physical aggressive as they are playing tonight. Bynum probably should've kept his mouth closed, especially not playing in the other teams building yet, while you haven't had one decent game in the series.

    They might go on to win this series, but there's still that doubt about them being a mentally strong team. I do not know what they would do, if they met team that was equal in talent level, but much more stronger mentally or scrappier.

    Time doesn't apply to Dragic, BrooksBall.

    He is just the GOA. :grin:

    lol... nice. That'll work.

    I thought the Lakers would win at least one of the last 2 games.

    Nice. Interviewing the bench. Well deserved.

    *IF* the refs have a 'let them play' mentality
    yea .. you can bully the Lakers
    Gasol, Odom - they are soft and wilt under muscle
    Artest is not the Artest of old

    I suspect that they Let them Play' mentality won't follow them to LA
