The Lakers are better without Kobe but they're still terrible. This is one of those games that the team has no excuse to lose. It's not on a back-to-back, it's at home against the worst team in the conference who happens to be rival and they're without their best player. There should be a good crowd in the Suns favor tonight as well giving them a real home court advantage since it's against the Lakers on a holiday. Hopefully they show up to play and don't treat it like an easy win though since close games haven't finished in their favor this season.
