[picappgallerysingle id=”8605348″] There are not enough superlatives to describe Phoenix’s offense. Explosive. Dynamic. Downright Scary. In our preview of when the Lakers have the ball, I called the Suns O a juggernaut and really that’s a bit of an understatement. In order to slow down that unit, the Lakers are going to need to show a […]

Lakers/Suns Series Preview Part 2: Looking At The Benches
[picappgallerysingle id=”8732437″] When you take a look at the Suns, it’s easy to get caught up in the big names – Nash and Amar’e or even Hill and Richardson.

Over the course of the regular season, they had the top ranked offense measured by both points per game (110.2) and in offensive efficiency (112.7).

The Suns represent the organization that bounced the Lakers from the playoffs in back to back years nearly a half decade ago and litterally laid the foundation for this franchise’s trip into offseason hell that I’d rather […]
Lakers/Jazz Game 4: Break Out The Brooms
[picappgallerysingle id=”8756663″] Maybe this result was destined from the beginning.

Lakers/Jazz Game 3: Instant Classic
[picappgallerysingle id=”8743126″] Wow. Wow. Wow. It’s pretty rare that fans get treated to a game like this. It seemingly had it all. Shot making duels. Unlikely players stepping up. Multiple lead changes in the closing minutes. Crunch time heroics. And there was even a last second play that decided the outcome. Honestly, this is one […]

Yes, The Lakers Are Still Playing the Jazz
[picappgallerysingle id=”8707375″] Having four days off in between games allows the mind the wander. Fans of the Lakers are looking at the Spurs and Suns and wondering who the best match up for the conference finals is. We’re examining the eastern bracket and wondering if Boston can get by Cleveland and if anyone can get […]
