Suns @ Lakers - Game Thread - Sunday April 8, 2007 - 12:30 PM

Killer steal by Bell. If Kobe only has 3 more pts than Bell, the Suns should be up by at least 10.

 

[Cheesebeef]

crap - hope raja's okay.

 

[Cheesebeef]

just so out of sync.

 

[jbeecham]

We have been out of sync most plays and then we have a few that look pretty good. We're still winning by 5, which is pretty good because we've played most of the game without Shawn Marion. Marion made some stupid fouls and he always struggles guarding Odom (who is too physical for Shawn).

 

[PHXSportsFan4]

Another 3 for Bell. He's playing pretty good today.

 

[az1965]

Raja is having a good game on both ends

 

[jbeecham]

Tough call on Raja Bell. He's had a few that could've been called offensive fouls on Kobe.

Raja's having a great game. He's probably the player of the game for the Suns.

 

[hafey]

Thing about that call.....Dick Bavetta makes it from half court when the baseline ref was right there.

 

[Cheesebeef]

yup - raja's definitely brought it today.

nice little spurt here, but you know the game's far from over.

 

[sly fly]

A bunch of girly girls on here scared of the Lakers. You guys crack me up.

PHX has been leading practically the entire game, and by reading this board you'd think they were down by 20.

I've got news for you. Any time Kobe's on the court, it's not going to be easy.

I've been thinking the same. We've been up most of the game, and we aren't looking THAT bad. A little out of sync, D isn't as good as it should be, but overall we aren't playing bad. We have a 9 point lead right now and we are in good shape to win this.

tell that to the Mavericks.

 

[jbeecham]

Yeah Raja, 6-6 for 3.

 

[PHXSportsFan4]

Wow Raja with ANOTHER 3 pointer. 6/6 from 3

 

[PHXSportsFan4]

Matrix lays it in... We're pulling away. 12 point lead.

 

[Cheesebeef]

okay - that's a very good win.

I like getting down on us - i'm almost always proven wrong.

 

[jbeecham]

Raja does need to get the memo that the refs are not going to call a charge on Kobe anymore, you got your 1 call earlier.

 

[PHXSportsFan4]

Nash hits both of his free throws, 103-91 Suns with 1:48 left in the game.

 

[sly fly]

Smush Parker is irrevelant.

He doesn't know how good he has it playing on the same court as Kobe. But, he's going to find out real soon what it's like to go against him.

He can thank Kobe for the new contract he'll get when he walks this summer.

 

[slinslin]

Lakers upcomming schedule Denver, LA Clippers, Suns.

Looks like they are likely to end up 8th, Clippers 7th and Denver 6th. That would be my ideal seeding anyway with us at #2. A series with the Clippers prepares us probably the best for the 2nd round but also the easiest series or at least the series with the least drama.

 

[Cheesebeef]

3-1 on the roadie - good deal - let's hope the Spurs somehow get tripped up to give us just a teeny bit more breathing room, hopefully allowing us to rest the last game of the season.

 

[az1965]

okay - that's a very good win.

We pulled away in the 4th... it was a tight game until then and we did look out of sync...

 

[hsandhu]

tell that to the Mavericks.

Well he did drop 62 on them in 3 qtrs, at a time when they were specifically trying to become a better defensive team.

 

[PHXSportsFan4]

Suns win it, 115-107

D-Backs finished off a 4 game sweep of the Nationals today, Suns won today. Good day for the Phoenix teams

It would be even better if the Coyotes manage to beat the Canucks. They are up 2-1 right now.

They are still 2 games ahead of the Clipps with only 5 games left. I hope that's how it turns out, but we'll see. I'd much rather play LAC.
