Can the Los Angeles Lakers Upset the Phoenix Suns?

Easily, Kob Bryant needs to stop being a team player and score. Stupid people don't realize that when he scores more his team has a much higher chance of winning. He should keep shooting. They also need to shut down Nash because he is the obvious key to Sun's offense. I'm sure they will pull it off.

SUNS BABY!!! We finally got on track again - Nash, LB, 3D, TT, Matrix, are all on it...The Lakers never should have let us up off the mat. They can't run with us - we have shown we can get physical, and Smush, Kwame, and the rest (besides Odom) have tightened up. S-U-N-S Suns Suns SUNS!!!

Lakers are going to go all the way this series, but not in the Game 5. In Game 5 they are going to lose to the Suns by a wide margin. Maybe 98 to 76. In Game 6 the Lakers are going to win in overtime, thanks to Kobe.

Uhm.........Noooooooo is this series over? Suns are only in the Championship because of scheduling error the best two teams in the west have already played...Sorry Suns fans this is not the LA's your dealing with. Dallas Is winning the Championship.

Hello!? Did someone say Phoenix? Well I hate to say this being a Nash fan, but the Suns have NO answer for Kobe Bryant. This guy showed us that he can pass when the stakes are high and chips are low. He pumped it into Odom and company while grabbing 29 or whatever for himself. This guy scored 81, so the Suns HAVE to guard him tight, or he'll SMOKE them. However, when they guard him with 2 guys he is sooo good at finding the open man. \n\nEither way the Suns are FOOL--fresh out of luck.

the suns are going to win this series..the clippers played a great first game..but look anytime any 1 player like kobe or elton brand try to hold the team on their own...the suns run right over them...the suns have way to much fire power..and they will hit the 3 pointer at will and will not be stopped by the clippers...suns in 5..i will almost guarantee it

The Jazz are below .500, but without Kobe, the Lakers are going to rely on guys like Odom and Smush Parker. So I believe the Lakers will lose both games vs. the Jazz.

No contest buddy. The playoffs are a different story: the tempo gets slower and you need to bring your game to a higher level. The suns will have to play the MVP and best active player in the nba in kobe bryant, which is no easy task. Its not even kobe either, people keep forgetting that the lakers are actually a legitimite team with a resurgent Kwame Brown living up to his potential and Lamar Odom, who is a triple double threat every night. Add smush parker and a much improved luke walton and you got the lakers going to the second round. A seven game series where the suns try to run will be their own demise. Steve Nash isnt god. Kobe Bryant will solidify his claim for the MVP.

Kobe is always gettting better and better and he always surprises everyone when everyone thinks they have him figured out. Lakers are going to win against the Suns

Should be a very interesting series, very tough to pick a team. Clippers should give Suns a better battle. I know it's hard to say since Lakers took the Suns to 7 games but that was a joke. I think the Clippers will win

I think that the Lakers- after the Pistons and the Hornets and the Spurs- are finally playing like a team. Sure- they are getting 40 from Kobe every once in a while, but he is their superstar. Odom has been red-hot, and Smush along with a few other bench players have been doing great to give them the win. They finally realize team ball is the key. And they have taken 7th seed, 1.5 behind Memphis for 6th. The #1 thing best to do in the second half of the NBA season is heat up and go hard down the stretch of the last 30 games to make a playoff spot. You'll see- the Lakers are for real now. They've always been on and off- but I think that they all have finally realized that it's not giving it to Kobe. Kwame helps in the post, defense and offense both. Smush is a scorer, Lamar is an all-around and Kobe is the super-star. I think that the Lakers can go all the way- no joke. They've beat the Mavs, Spurs, Pistons, Heat, Clippers, but we still have the Suns. Let's go Lakers.

No the Lakers didn't give up, they are just plain dumb to have Kobe in their line up...And the most important thing is that the Phoenix Suns is better than the Lakers. Phoenix has great teamwork unlike Lakers who is all Kobe ball hogging plays. Well he is not MJ my God!!!! He can't do everything by his own. Look at Steve Nash, great distributor of ball and with that he is the MVP! TWO STRAIGHT YEARS!!! Kobe can't do that, can't even win the award once. Well Nash is really better than rest. He is the best actually. Lakers being afraid of the Clippers? Nope. The Lakers can beat the Clippers but not the Phoenix Suns. That's the story of it. If the Lakers faced the Clippers in the first round then it would be possible that they advance to the second round and face maybe Phoenix. But it happened the other way around and they faced Phoenix in the first round that is why they can't go to the second round. Too bad Phil Jackson's record in the playoffs was ruined by Kobe Bryant...Go Phoenix!!!

The Miami Heat of course. They have a lot more overall talent than the Lakers. They have Shaq, Wade, Walker, Payton, Jason Williams, Haslem vs the Lakers' Kobe because there's really no one else in the Laker team that makes a difference except maybe Odom.

The only people going for the Clippers now are the people who wanted the Lakers to win. Suns will definetly get their wins against them. My guess 4-2.
