    LOS ANGELES -- When the Oklahoma City Thunder strolled into Staples Center for a pivotal Game 5 in their first round series with the Lakers, the sense of urgency needed in that moment was nowhere to be found.

    When asked about the overwhelming amount of historical evidence that the winner of that game typically went on to win the series, Thunder players I spoke with talked and acted as if it was just another game. They would attempt to be at their best, as always, but there was no tough talk or swagger of any kind, no edge or necessary at ude. They were, of course, subsequently bounced from that night's outing and the series itself one game later.

    Fast forward to today's Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals, and it's an entirely different scene with these Phoenix Suns. At least if you count Amar'e Stoudemire as the team's spokesman.

    As if being picked against by almost every media pundit out there isn't enough to stoke the Suns' fire, they continue to hear about the Lakers' frontcourt that so many expect to have its way with Stoudemire & Co.

    "We definitely play down low," Stoudemire said when asked if he was tired of hearing about the 7-foot duo of Pau Gasol and Andrew Bynum. "They just have two guys, so once you beat Gasol you have your little brother right behind you. That makes him a better player.

    "I played against Gasol in Memphis, and it was total domination. But now he has his little brother with him so he's a little bit more confident now because he has someone to help him out in the post. But we're still here. We're back, and we're going to see what happens tonight."

    I guess Amare didn't get the memo from spurstalk that Pau carries teams.
