theirs one laker troll who will be next 
It's confidence. I could really care less if they got confidents. The Suns played the worst game they could and didn't get any calls from the refs and yet still had it tied at 89 with a minute to go. If the Lakers didn't have confidence in their ability before tonight then they are in the wrong business.

yes, confidents are bad. they can tell secrets to them without worrying if they tell them to other people.
now confidence, thats something here. thats what the lakers needed, and they got it. game 4 will be some show to see as los angeles has to win it again. the suns need to face it as a must win, so that they can put this out in 5 games. as one man put it " Let's take off our dresses and end this damned tea party"

I agree I still believe it will be Suns in 5, unless we have Bennet Salvatore calling the game, then we're screwed!! The lack of energy is what killed us, guys standing around when they trapped Nash with one of their bigs instead of diving towards the basket or being active.

Are you trying to say "Confidants"? Because no, I wouldn't want them to have anyone to confide in. That would be horrible, horrible news.

Just finished watching on delay ... I'd say sly fly pretty much nailed it. Jackson played small-ball with three hustling guards, and the Suns were unprepared to take advantage. And even then, they got killed on the glass.
Diaw did his usual sleepwalking routine, except for one stretch of a few minutes in the fourth quarter, Nash looked really uncomfortable with his shot, and Marion was, well, Marion. Considering that the Suns led by 17 at one point, it was a pretty dominant performance by the Lakers for the rest of the game. The Suns need to make some major adjustments for Sunday, or they are in big trouble.
Edit: The officiating was equally bad for both sides. It had nothing to do with the outcome.

No, there are games the Suns have played poorly and didn't deserve to win. Tonight wasn't one of those nights. It started once the Suns started out on an 11-0 run and continued the entire game. Usually the refs will switch at halftime and give the other team the calls to balance things out, but that never happened tonight.
I would not be surprised if you win in 5. I just think now the Suns have to worry just a little bit. Game 2 they were throwing alleyoops from half-court ,laughing and having fun. Now they got to worry just a little bit.
Next game is a must win for both teams. If the Suns win it's over,if the Lakers win,then the Suns know there in for a dogfight with the potential to lose the series. Something that was not even thought of before tonight.

I think he meant confidence.....lol
A series never starts until the visiting wins on the other team's home court. Cliche, but true.
Right now, everything has fell according to how it should.
The road ahead is brutal. In order for the Lakers to win they have to beat the Suns in either FOUR straight games, or win a game 7 IN Phoenix. Not good odds. I'd love for it to happen, and it was great to see the team come out with the heart they left back in 2006, but that's a huge task and I'm not optimistic. They finally attacked the rim aggressively and didn't try to get in to a running game (like dork Barkley suggested.) That's at least a step in the right direction.
LMAO at the last comment.
Your others, minus one, are valid.
Suns do not need to make "major adjustments"; they simply need to play Suns ball.
That means ENERGY, not standing around with your dick in your hand.
Actually it's confidence so we were both wrong.

why would they need to beat the suns in 4 straight games? i thought only last year did you need to win 5 times in a series
I agree...and Kobe got away with a big one in the closing moments fouling on a shot attempt. But it surely balanced out as there were a lot of either missed calls or calls made that shouldn't have been on both ends.
I didn't know you lived in Sacramento.

seems to me that green is right. you were wrong making him think you meant something else. not important as the lakers need confidence and all the other help they can get to win this series.

You said are you trying to say Confidants. That's spelled wrong.
Actually i knew the correct spelling,you just replied long before i could correct it so i did not bother to edit it. I just replied with the correct spelling.I was typing to fast so i made a mistake.

You gotta be ****in' kiddin' me.
I really hate to do this 'cause I haven't complained about the refs since a certain Stockton game -- and that was a long, long time ago -- but I have no choice in this case.
Take a look at the board and get back to me. Better yet, watch the pre-show with Jack Nicholson getting a cake. Better still, watch virtually any of Amare's drives toward the basket.
I'm sorry, but fair is fair.

How old are you, 12? The writing on this board is terrible, but you take it to a completely different level.
Funny how you did not said that on Tuesday. Im not even here to spam your board with nothing but positive Laker talk. Im here to have a simple conversation with Phoenix fans,and your responding like a sensitive Michael Jackson fan at the Santa Maria court house in 2004. Take a chill pill bro.

LOL, yeah, I'm kidding you. :roll:
Whining about officiating is incredibly weak. The Lakers were aggressive and went at the rim, the Suns weren't aggressive. Read the board, there is a thread on playing soft.
What does Jack getting a cake on his bday at Staples have to do with ANYTHING related to the game's officiating?
Watching the way some people react to wins and losses is really telling.
