Predictions for Suns Lakers Tonight

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Nash doesn't suit up, but the Suns keep it close through 3 quarters because LA isn't playing defense. Odom scores 6-8 quick points in the 4th and the Suns can't stop the bleeding from that point on. The bright spot from the game will be Dragic gets his first career double double.

LA - 120
Phoenix - 107

[IronMexican]

Dragic will shut Kobe down. 140-95, Suns.

[mavs>spurs2]

LA 115
Phoenix 101

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Dragic will shut Kobe down. 140-95, Suns.

LOL, maybe that's homerism to pick White Magic Dragic to have a double double, but the one clear cut weakness for LA is the amount of assists they give up. Last time they played LA, Dragic had 5 assists in less than 20 minutes of play. Feel free to check if you don't believe me.

[DPG21920]

Is Nash out fo sho?

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Is Nash out fo sho?

Na game time decision but I doubt they're gonna risk further injury in a game they would most likely lose with Nash anyway. Of course he wouldn't say this but Gentry knows the limitations of the team and that risking injury for a game in LA is stupid.

[Thunder Dan]

I predict getting a good night sleep. The Suns suck, why are they on national TV?

[IronMexican]

I don't think theres any way for Dragic not to get a triple double.I could see him finishing with 35 points, 20 assists and 15 blocks(all on Kobe)

Idk how the 45 win Cavs got so much national media coverage last year so this isn't to big a surprise. I will say though the amount of nationally televised games the 9 seed in the west has had this year is a little ridic.

ha-ha ..... were u this funny when the lakers were losing 2005-2007?

because we have the King

[turiaf for president]

suns 110 lakers 106. i have a bad feeling about this game.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Ya I know, it's just my view that a mediocre team (I'm referring to last year not this year) shouldn't get a bunch of coverage just cause of one exciting player. Unfortunately for me the average NBA fan feels differently.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

In this case it would be a quadruple double, cause there's no way Dragic could have 35 points and 20 assists without 10 turnovers.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

suns 110 lakers 106. i have a bad feeling about this game.

They just announced Nash is a DNP. I wouldn't worry if I were a Laker fan.


See ya 2009 Suns, it was fun while it lasted (not really).

[CubanMustGo]

Lakers 119
Setting Suns 89

i know thats how i should feel but lakers have a history of relaxing when its a crappy opponent or in this case, when a star guy isnt in the lineup. hope im wrong but i see a close game

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Ya that makes some sense they do tend to coast through the first 40 minutes of the game against lesser teams but those last 8 minutes I predict the Suns will just fall apart.

[Showtime24 LAKERS]

Suns: 140
Lakers: 125

badd badd feeling about this...

[RedsLakers24]

i also have a bad feeling about this, the lakers play bad when the other team players are hurt, i wouldnt be suprise if the suns win

[scanry]

Suns: 140
Lakers: 125

badd badd feeling about this...

Ya right!!! :lol

Run & Bun Suns are done. Lakers should win this one pretty easily.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

I hope this bad feeling the Laker fans are getting turns out to be smart, I can get a high from this game for a day or two and then go back to realizing how crappy the off season will be.

[Texas_Ranger]

Dragič time!!

[de Soto]

Lakers are gonna embarrass the Suns. What else is new...

[ginobili's bald spot]

I'm not sure why everyone is saying they have a bad feeling. We only fall asleep against the Bobcats and the Kings of the league. They'll play half ass through most of the game but end up winning it 115-105.

[SpursDynasty]

The Suns will win this one, and there won't be any need for anyone to come trash talk on here...they'll just be doing what they're supposed to do. The Lakers will get a couple of shots here and there, but lose. They give up too many points per game and Phoenix is a top team in scoring.

[pauls931]

To add insult to injury, I bet phil uses hack a shaq, granted shaq is shooting well by his standards. Without nash, suns have virtually a 0 chance of winning, take away the leading scorer, trade your 2 best defenders, and it gets ugly. I'm just waiting for the next season to start.

[Allanon]

Suns or Lakers might reach 150. This will probably be a blowout.

No they dont. If they did then the 07 Finals would not have been atrocity that they turned out to be. It just so happens that Lebron gets shoved down our throat.

For the record I dont blame SA for that shambolic series, that was all on the Lebrons. San Antonio is actually pretty exiting team to watch when paired with another exiting team. The Lakers, Mavs (2003, 2006), Suns. Stick them to a shit team like the Cavs and Nets and you have yourself a ratings disaster.

[der Kaiser]

Suns: 140
Lakers: 125

badd badd feeling about this...

I know, this game feels like the game at Sacramento. We should win but I get the sense that we might overlook PHX and they are going to play balls out.

The good news is that they have Shaq, which is sure to motivate Kobe.

[Banzai]

Lakers should win..but of course stranger things have happened.

[Ghazi]

Is Nash playing? You won't see the absurd scoring numbers they've put up recently without him.

Fucking Dragic controlling the tempo? Muthafuckin please.

Suns won't score 100 if he's running the show.

[Brazil]

Without Nash maybe the suns are gonna have a decent defense

[Spursfan092120]

Without Nash maybe the suns are gonna have a decent defense

Suns defense. Isn't that an oxymoron? Like...jumbo shrimp?

[Killakobe81]

Lakers by 8 pts ...

[iggypop123]

lakers win and kevin harland will do no regard for human life

[cobbler]

PJ would never use Hack a Anybody.

[cobbler]

Shaq turns.... dunks in his own basket then looks to PJ and Kobe and says.... "please take me back ... please take me back.... I want to be relevant again!"

[MarHill]

suns 110 lakers 106. i have a bad feeling about this game.

You shouldn't have to worry about this game. The Suns can't stop anybody...the Lakers should have a field day.

Lakers 118
Suns 100

[MarHill]

Without Nash maybe the suns are gonna have a decent defense

:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao

Defense from the Suns!! I have some beachfront property in Nebraska I want to sell you!!

:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao

[Evil Angel]

Well stated!

Lakers down 3..lay up drill going on..nothing new.

Hahaha ur funny u know the Lakers will win ur just trying 2 be funny and even if somehow someway we lose this game the Lakes will still stay with the best record in the NBA...

[crc21209]

Lakers blow the Suns out. End of story.

[crc21209]

One reason I think LA is very very good but not great, they are not a team based on Defense. They had given up 20 points to the Suns with 6 mins left in the 1st WITHOUT Nash.

[Hemotivo]

Dragic doin' his Udrih impersonification

[Banzai]

mbenga...rofl.

[j-money24]

mbenga the man

[MarHill]

The Lakers are already up by 15 midway through the 2nd quarter.

This has blowout city written all over it!!!

[hhml]

Ladies and gentlemen,

M-Mothereffin-Benga the Enforcer.

[KB24 MVP]

Wow Mbenga in the game u just know if they keep it up Sun Yue and Adam Morrison are just bound 2 play some good minutes

[Indazone]

wow..the Suns are just unbelievable in their level of suckitude

[Xylus]

No Nash, no Amare, no competition.

[KB24 MVP]

Sun Yue left 2 play and my prediction will be correct

[Banzai]

[Jloyola]

No Nash, no Amare, no competition.

it hasnt been competitive for almost 2 seasons now:king

[lurker]

Does Chuck not realize that rolling your ankle when you land on someone's foot isn't exclusive to playing at a fast pace? :lol

[KB24 MVP]

Where Is Spurs D when u need him lol

[YellowFever]

PJ would never use Hack a Anybody.

I don't know if this is sarcasm or not but....


...PJ invented Hack-A-Shaq when he was with Chicago and Shaq Fu was with Orlando.

[cobbler]

Actually, Hack a Shaq was originated by Don Nelson against the Bulls and Dennis Rodman. He then used the strategy against Shaq as well. I don't remember PJ ever using it in Chicago but I could certainly be wrong. I do know that he has stated several times that it's terrible for the game of basketball. But then again, that was when Shaq was bricking for the Lakers and Pop and Nelson were using the strategy.

[pauls931]

Dragic doin' his Udrih impersonification

Not sure about dragic. I hope they didn't mess him up mentally early on. He looked horrible getting picked off twice immediately when I saw him go in. Also I think defenders really go at him since they know he's young and very inexperienced. He doesn't have the college background that makes the transition as easy an most do.

[TheMACHINE]

ha-ha ..... were u this funny when the lakers were losing 2005-2007?

To you, this might be an insult...to us Lakers fans, its a compliment. Its crazy to know how fast the Lakers rebuilt thier team. The team we faced as an 8th seed two yrs ago, is now a shell of its former self and is getting owned by the Lakers...and the scary thing is, we're just getting started.

[Ghazi]

It's not THAT crazy.When you pick up a player like Gasol for spares, you can easily go from 7th-8th to 1st in the conference.

Although, before Bynum went down last year, the Lakers were looking like a top 3 team in the conference anyway.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Well, good win LA. I didn't the Suns would win but I also didn't think they would take it up the ass like the doormat of a team they've become against any team with a better record.

I know firing Porter and hiring Gentry will have a positive effect on the Suns for the next 30+ games, but this coaching change makes it so it's going to take even longer to get rid of this bullshit "having fun is more important than winning" mentality D'antoni entrenched with this team for 4+ years. I hope they bring in Jeff Van Gundy in the offseason so I know this lazy underachieving group of fucks won't be having any fun.

30+? There's only 25 left in the Suns season :king

I kid, I kid

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

30+? There's only 25 left in the Suns season :king

I kid, I kid

Please, don't kid, I welcome the draft lottery. The last thing I need is to hear a bunch of idiots praising the Suns for sneaking in as the 8 seed and coming up with some new bullshit excuse, "If Gentry was coach the entire season they would have won a title."
