VC deserves more....Magic all the Way..
Going to the Lakers. They have HCA and the best frontcourt of the West and have the confidence of being the defending champs.
I would much rather the Suns win the West but LA's advantages of scoring easier, high percentage buckets near the rim and securing the rebound is going to outweigh the Sun's depth and 3-point shooting advantages.
Suns need a healthy Lopez to really make things interesting.
However the East is winning it this year whether its ORL or Cleveland. It'd be crazy as if Boston made it out of there though...
VC deserves more....Magic all the Way..
Wrong, I ing hate the Suns! Go Lakers!!!
lol Magic will lose. A team depending heavily on Carter is not likely going to win it all. That's all I have to say about. Cavs frontcourt will struggle big time against Magic or Lakers. The only team I think can challenge the Lakers is the suns due to their style of play.
Scary thing is that Orlando doesn't really have to rely much on VC. Nelson's playing great and they have a pretty good lineup of perimeter players that can get red-hot at anytime; better version of the Suns imo in many ways. I'm more worried about Dwight Howard's mental toughness (foul trouble and free throws) above all else if I was an Orlando fan.
Dwight Howard is what makes that team. We've already seen that he struggles against the Lakers. I think this year will be similar to last year if the Magic play the Lakers again. Heartbreak. But they will still have to beat the Cavs. That's no gimme. I just think people are overrating the Magic as they've had it easy with teams that don't believe. (Bobcats and Hawks)
I would rather the Suns win, but the Lakers will win.
doesn't matter who wins the west Hope it will be the Lakers
But, I am hoping for the East to win the le this yr- Cavs especially.
I'd rather see the Lakers.......................................lose in the Finals.
I want the Suns but believe that the Lakers will win this - most likely in 6. Their power game versus the Suns 3 ball is going to be the difference. The Suns have shot the ball so well so far and if they continue it might turn out different. But the old saying about jump shots comes to mind. When all is said and done the low psot presence will be the difference.
The Suns don't match up at all against the Lakers -- the Suns are just too small.
All the Suns can do is try to light them up with 3's and hope to outscore them.
Just my opinion.
why are you thinking that???
Go SUNS Go
I think the Lakers, but I'd like the Suns.
I wouldn't be surprised if the Suns went into a cold spell behind the arc vs. the Lakers. Not because they have better perimeter defenders, but because with all their length inside, their perimeter defenders can take more chances and be more up on the shooters.
I have found that I don't mind the Suns so much now that Pornstache isn't there anymore screaming and whining on the sidelines, and I'd rather see the underdog win than the Lakers. No one expected the Suns to spank the Spurs like they did, so they may surprise everyone. Besides, The Lakers still have to get past the Jazz first. I know...details, details.
beating the spurs is the suns championship. lakers in 5
small linuep dont work agenst teh lakers. spurs bigs cant move well on difense but lakers can. gorge hill gets lost on picken roll and rj not evin try, but lakers do ok. suns only avanige is fisher cant gard nash. lakers in 5 or 6.
Lakers could very well sweep unless Bynum's injury catches up with him. Without Lopez the Suns have no answer to LA's huge size advantage - they can pretty much play volleyball with the bigs they have.
LA's frontcourt dominance allows them to have high-percentage, close to the rim shots which will probably be more valuable than the Suns depth, perimeter shooting, and pick and roll advantages.
Not to mention LA's got HCA. As much as I hate Kobe Bryant there's no way anyone in the West had a chance against 'em.
Lakers all the way. After the Spurs, I gotta show love for my hometown.
But it's not going to be easy for either team who wins. It's going to be an epic series.
I wish the Suns would beat them, but I'm afraid some of you are right about the bigs dominating in the paint. It's a very similar situation with Utah.
Lakers in 5! I never thought I would say it and go for the Fakers but the Suns and their fans at the game last night pissed me off!They came with their brooms and acted with no class! Talking after the game where we got into with them and if anything turned me off so I will really feel great if these assholes are eliminated in the next round! I am really rooting for Orlando as I really like Dwight Howard and hope they win it all!
Thanks for the overall general consensus you guys are rooting for us.
You guys actually are a pretty classy team. I just hated you guys when you had Bowen and Horry who had no real talent or a complete game. Bowen was unreal defensively obviously but I respect Tim Manu and Tony because they're ballers.
Now Suns need to have Lopez back. He will be back we need him healthy. I say Suns in 6. We will continue to shoot well and Gentry knows how to use the rotations well and our bench is way better than theirs. Frye for 3 over and over again is what you'll hear.
Good luck this offseason.
Lakers have too many bigs for Suns to handle. They only had to worry about Duncan in the last series. And Lakers can put Odom on Frye.
Looks like the lakers are going to repeat.....
Who is going to guard Amare or Nash? Not a good matchup for Artest to have to defend out of position to guard the Sun's best offensive players. Both teams have advantages. And Duncan did better against the Mavs. That shows the suns can guard bigs.
