Will the Lakers respond after getting smacked in the mouth or did they let Phoenix back in the series?

No the Lakers won't respond in game 6. This game is proof that if the Suns get their act together they are dangerous. The Lakers are a 1 and maybe 1/2 man team, The Suns have options. I think they have great chance at winning the series. GO BORIS DIAW!!! (as far as that alibi goes for Kobe, did you see that monster hickey on his neck...last i checked wasn't his wife giving birth recently???)

Because it was in game 2 (I think) that Shaq elbowed Stackhouse across the nose and Jerry had to have three stitches to close the cut. I doubt Stackhouse expected to be suspended, I think Shaq gets preferred treatment. I mean, he's a great player and all, if you are going to throw elbows, expect the same in return.\n\nI'm a Piston's fan, so I really don't care. Your right-it would have been a he*l of a fight !!!

Lakers aren't going to win.............Suns have come back this far and Nash isn't going to let them down

It's not "if you're up 3-1, you're supposed to win"...\n\nIt's "If you're a number two seed, you're supposed to win". \n\nAnd that's what the Suns did. Both teams did what they were supposed to do.\n\nBoth Kobe and Jordan are/were 2-1 in game sevens. \n\nIt's not Kobe's fault that only he and Luke Walton showed up in game 7.\n\nbtw, you might want to explain to the kiddies out there who Jenna Jameson is.\n\nalso btw, the NBA made it easy for Jordan in the playoffs.. back then you only had to win 3 games to get out of the first round, not 4 (even still, Jordan lost his first three playoff series, winning a grand total of ONE game in those three years!  Oooo, he was great, all right).

Suns baby.  There going into Phoenix with so much enthusiasm.  Lakers won't stand a chance with the home field advantage.

Kobe and Phil Jackson do not want him to get suspended because the next game is going to be at Los Angles. If Raja Bell shows up in that arena, the fans will spark, and that will moviated Kobe Bryant to an excellent game. But the other hand he did clothesline Kobe Bryant intentionally, so I believe they are going to call it like that.

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 call was bad, but it's part of the home-court advantage.  You just have to take it.  Lakers would enjoy that when they are at home.\n\nSuns didn't play well on the first game, lose huge on the rebounds (36-47).  They could do better too.  If Suns win the second game, it's very possible that they will win the series.

I dont know, but that wasn't a very good decision, because Nash can kick butt, even though they lost last night to the lakers. GO LAKERS!!!!!!

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

You might be partially correct on that one. Since Phoenix used their run-and-gun system last year, most of the teams also went running. This causes people not getting back on defense and it will just be a test of offense.\n\nWhy partially correct? San Antonio is still arguably the best defensive team in the league. Their backcourt runs, but their front court gets back on D as quickly. As far as four games go, none of their opponents scored more than 93 points.

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!!!
