There is no way Lakers is making it to game 7. Last year the Suns didn't have Amare Stoudemire, this year they do and he's one of their top scorers. Kobe can't win the game alone. Ecspecially how they've been playing. Nash is going to kill the Laker defense with his amazing pass skill, shooting and awarness of the court

The suns definately. They have Amare this year to add to their ferocious scoring offense, and even contribute on the defensive end. Kobe can score all he wants but no matter how good he plays hes no match for the suns this year. The way Kobe has been playing is taking the rest of the lakers team out of the equation. Suns take it this year in 5

I hate to say it, but the Suns in 6. They have talent at every position. And Amare is back. But they do have significant flaws themselves. They cant stop anybody. No one on the team except barbosa can create shots for themselves. They all are standstill jumpshooters who need picks to free themselves. And Amare has no back to the basket true post up moves. All his points come from screens too. The question is can the Lakers give Kobe some scoring help? I hope so,but I doubt it. Gotta lot of injured players too. Kobe will murder Raja bell, but im afraid no one else will step up to the plate. But Phoenix never will win a title because they cant play D....

It's very simple. The Suns run and gun offense is one of the best defenses in the NBA right now. No team has been able to keep up with it. Unless the Suns have some off games (now that it's the playoffs, won't happen) the Lakers will have some sort of a chance. But due to the suns 100-110 pt. nights the lakers won't be able to keep up. Maybe the old lakers, but I doubt it. The Suns in 4.

Kobe can win a game single handedly....So Suns win 4-1.... Lakers need another year of seasoning before they advance to the second round....maybe next year they can make it to a 4 or 5 seed

THE PHX SUNS WILL TAKE THE SERIES 4-1(THE LAKERS WILL PROBABLY GET LUCKY IN 1 GAME) BUT LAST YEAR THE LAKERS TOOK THE SUNS TO 7 GAMES BUT COULDNT FINISH AND THAT WAS WITHOUT AMARE STOUDEMIRE. THIS YEAR AMARE IS THEIR LEADING SCORER. AND WITH NASH PENETRATING THE DEFENSE AND FEEDING IT OFF TO EVERY SUNS PLAYER ON THE COURT(WHICH THE LAKERS CANT DO) THE SUNS WILL TAKE IT EASILY

I'm picking the Suns to defeat the Lakers in 6 games. If the Lakers are lucky it may be 7, but if the Suns catch fire then it'll be 5. For now I'm saying Suns in 6. Screw Lakers.

suns are to good offensively to let a team which is based around one player,kobe, beat them. The suns are about team work wile the lakers are about letting one guy score wille everyone else whatches. The suns have staudomire,Nash,Marion, Barbosa a benched player, bell,diaw, and who do the lakers have Kobe and "some times oden i mean to go far in the playoffs who need alot more. theres no dout in my mind that the lakers will be out after the fourth game.

The Suns will win this series no problem. They have by far the deepest starting five and sixth man in the game today. Between two time mvp Steve Nash, Amare, Shawn Marrion, Raja Bell, and Boris Diaw, the Lakers are no match. On top of that, Kobe is overrated. Any top 15 player in scoring right now could score just as many points as he does if they were as selfish, and thankfully, they're not. Suns in 5. If the Suns can keep their composure, they may be able to do it in 4.

ok so let me get this straight. all of you who say that the lakers will beat the suns say that kobe can outplay steve nash, shawn marion, and amare stoudamire. that is crazy. yes, kobe is the best player in the L right now, but there is no way that he is gonna outplay the suns with smush parker, or kwame brown. you would be insane to say that these guys could take on the suns just because they are all healthy. PHX takes it in 6. and another thing. to all of you who say that kobe can do it on his own...watch the addidas commercials, it takes five.

Im a laker fan, but they have no talent. Brian Cook? Sasha Vujacic? Lamar Odom when hes healthy...Smush Parker? Kwame Brown? They say Kobe doesent pass the ball. U seen the Lakers shoot? Its a joke....Until the front office gets sum help... all blowouts.... Suns in 4 or 5 games but they will never win a title... No defense. They bettehope San Antonio and Dallas get knocked off then they will have a chance..Even if they get to the finals, Detroit will beat them up underneath the boards... They are the like the old Buffalo Bills.. All offense, all stats.. No championship.....

The lakers took the suns to 7 games last year. They can take them to 7 this year because of the incredible performance kobe has been putting on this season. Hes the leader in scoring is the leader in assists on the lakers and is the most dominant player in the nba now. if theres one player you dont wanna see standing on the opposite side of the court its Kobe Bryant. Hes the suns worst nightmare

Last year the suns didnt have amare but last year kobe wasnt playing like he is now. And to say kobe cant single handedly win a game is nonsense seing as he did it for about every win this year the lakers had. True that LA might have trouble with nash but is that really gonna amount to the trouble the suns are gonna have with the most dominant player in the game now. And the most clutch player in the L. dont forget game 4 where he hit the game winner.

This is a tough one for me.You can forget about last year.Kobe will get his,but will anyone else lend my boy a helping hand.Anyone?PLEASE!! The Lakeshow has enough talent , but they don't ever show up. Everyone seems to forget all of Tim Thomas' clutch 3s in last years playoffs. Even if the Suns get past LA they won't win any championships. KOBE MVP 06-07 This hurts to say but Suns in 6.

lakers should win the series if kobe b plays his game and gets his teammates the ball. lakers need to play tight defense on the suns and try 2 lower turnovers

The lakers have been under estimated for a long time.First they say they won't make it to the play-offs.Well they proved them wrong.Then you say they can't hang with the suns.Well they did a pretty good job,and if the Suns are so much better why are they matched up with the lakers?Of course Kobe can take his team to victory he has done it numerous times before don't ever underestimate him

Here's the truth... Laker's have a good team and they have enough to win a championship with this team. Problem is, they don't have much team chemistry and they need to lessen up on their mistakes, way to many turnover's. Their players are young, but they can still compete and win a title. Suns work together and that's why they are great team. Kobe can single handedly take over games no problem, but he can't do it with Odom hurt, Kwame hurt, Walton hurt, they have no one thhat will step up and play, if they worked hard day in and day out, they can do it.
