I dont know what everybody thinks, but I believe that we have better chances against the Suns without Yao. the suns always frustrate Yao and get him in foul trouble. he doesn't seem that effective on D against the suns like he is usually. I think we have better chances with the team we are playing now. if we can get Bouncy and Kirk back, we can beat the Suns. we just need to get spanoulis on Nash (defesnive purposes), or change our pick-n-roll defense strategy. I think we need to switch on the pick and roll instead of trapping and forcing Nash to pass the ball because this is how he killed us last time; he knows how to pass the ball 2 the open man... we still need a great offesnive effort from Mac and everybody else. but beating the Suns has been downgraded from impossible to 10% chance
Interesting, I wonder what sort of game was it. Judging from the box score, it should mean that the Suns managed to run along with the Lakers, but the latter just went faster. And I forogt one thing, Odom is also a decent post player, can play both inside and out.
i have that game burned on my machine, and watched all suns games against LA twins since last playoff. u know what? u r quite right about Odom, but i'd rather u to watch 20061031/PHXLAL game one more time, and see how PJ use Odom, attack basket most time (so do Brand and Kaman), the whole team had only a few 3pts shoot attempts.
