pretty much even with the zone if the Lakers focus on controlling the boards and the defensive end no way the Suns can keep this close. Not saying that the Ws that the suns got were flukes, but the Lakers are just so much more talented that not much has to go right for the Lakers to win. The only way phoenix keeps this close is if the bench plays well. The lakers have the weakest bench of the remaining teams and phoenix has probably the most explosive bench, but history has shown that the lakers always play well in game 5s especially at home. If the suns are within 15 points at the end of the game I am going to be shocked
Everyone can see that this is going to be a blowout tonight, but man would it be great to see the Suns win. The post game interviews would bring a tear to my eye, as would Kobe iso'ing his teammates in game 6... PLEASE BASKETBALL GODS MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!
