Loving this three day break between games aswell, look how fresh they look between the Utah series and this one. All we need is Orlando to drag out the Eastern Conference, a clean sweep in ours, with the rest we're in a great position, as good as can be anyway. Health has been a problem, mentally they're already there.
Starting to get concerned though, Lakers up 2-0 in the West, Boston up 2-0 in the East with 2 home games coming up, a betting man could clearly see a Lakers/Celtics Finals rematch, and nothing from Chad???
kobe's getting a taste of what it's like to be lebron
have a blinder only to have the rest of your team MIA
Difference is tho the LAKERS are STILL in the playoffs.....We only need to win home games to make the Finals....Were Suns need to take one from us at home which i is unlikely!
definitely not knocking LA. i would take LA over Cleveland anydayi infact hate everyone on the Cavs lineup including their coaching staff (except lebron and jj) - and that's not just recently.
just pointing out fact that the rest of the lakers seemed "off" today.
They were off GM3 also, mind you Suns bench today went spastic they couldnt miss at one point....Its just frustrating they settle for the long shots instead of playing the way they did in GM'S 1&2...Again its the Zone D that is doing it....
GM3 Just started!!!!Lets get a 3-0 lead!!!

Well a very poor GM3 by the Lakers shooting 8/32 behind the 3PT line just isnt gonna do it!!!I suppose thats what happens when you play against a Zone defense, but to me that shows to me that they cant defend One On One....Kobe and Pau played well as always Lamar went missing when we needed him the most Thanks Lamar!!!!
If thats the best the Suns have got then so be it we will still take the series...The only beat us by 7 dont forget......
I think the Lakers will make a few adjustments in GM4 and look to wrap it up at home...
Bring on the Trollers, Suns Fans, Laker Haters and anyone else who want to bag the Lakers!
They don't just need to attack the zone defense.
They also need to stretch the corners. Go with a 1-4 set.

It does show that they can't defend 1 on 1. But not many people can against the Lakers, especially inside. Gasol, Bynum, Odom are easily the best three-man frontcourt in the NBA.
You can't call the Suns out for using a zone when clearly the Lakers have more talent. If the game was all about 1 on 1's there shouldn't even be a playoffs and the Lakers should get the trophy straight away.
Phoenix were being smart, instead of it being 4-0 or 3-1 now it's 2-2 and the Suns still have a fighting chance.
I def agree with ya there Jimbo!!!Suns were very smart and we need to make some big adjustments if we are going to win GM5 and take the series....
I would have thought Phil would have had a better plan to attacj the Zone in GM4 but he clearly didnt its just frustrating to watch!!1I mean down the stretch in todays game you have Artest jacking up a three Lamar jacking up 2 Fisher...I mean for F*&Ks sake go to the Best 1-2 Combo Since Shaq-Kobe......Pau-Kobe....I think we well see a better TEAM game come GM5...Well i hope so anyways!!!

Kobe's first quarter was exceptional in game 3 though, he was something like 7/8 from the field, Suns will win game 4 easily.
