That my friend,is called ENVY. It isn’t our fault if our franchise has a CONTINUOUS and CONSISTENT tradition of NBA excellence. When others have yet to enter the playoffs and win at least a game, ours have been there to the Promised Land and back — many times over at that!
Getting Sweet 16 with an ominous 31 Finals appearance as well as the winningest team in playoffs history, Laker Nation has left the rest behind like Lambo Maranello on a pack of mini-Suzukis.

Won’t happen, Lakers are schooling the Suns in the art of “payback” for ’06 and ’07.

The Lakers are too tall, too great and just too focused on winning another championship. The Lost Suns of arizona are just mere pretenders and the Lakers exposed these overachievers for what they are, mere pretenders. Lakers in 5, but then they may just have broiught their brooms to the party and will sweep the setting arizona Lost Suns.

Don’t worry, Lakers fans are NEVER disappointed. With 30 appearances in the finals and 15 championships, we are very happy fans indeed.
Make that 31 and 16 this year. It’s inevitable, DeeZ.

Regarding your comment about the refs…if you believe the game is rigged, then why do you watch? I don’t watch WWF for that reason. Your comment is a total non-sequitor.

Yep – Let’s all watch the media jump on that Laker bandwagon again. And let’s watch the refs give them an easy ride to another championship.
Dynasties are boring.

Kobe was exceptional in the 3rd quarter, no doubt. But the reason why the Lakers win is their incredible length and skill at the 3,4, and 5 positions.
Hands down, no team in the NBA has the size and skill to match them in the paint. Dwight Howard is the biggest defensive force in the league, but the Lakers have 3-4 excellent, athletic and big post defenders, which is better than one dominant big man. If Andrew Bynum was fully healthy, I think the Lakers might have one of the best frontcourts in NBA history. Kobe is just the icing on the cake.
Stoudemire has no chance scoring in the post – he’s gotta be hitting like 80% of those jumpers to be effective at all.
As well, Lamar Odom is really, really good, probably the most underrated player on the team.
I hate the Lakers and I hate Kobe BRyant, but I cant see any team in the league beating them in a playoff series

DeeZ, the LAKERS are a CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM. Please dont compare them to the cavs least of all Lebrick James.

You know the saying: If Lebron is the King, them Kobe must be GOD!!!!, no doubt who is more valuable right now!

Lakers fans…Don’t get dissapointed like Lebron’s fans.

I’m wondering why was Lebron given the mvp award when he can’t win anything. Kobe is clearly better but the nba wants that next Jordan so bad that they can’t open their eyes to to reality. Please stop cheating the man.

To beat the Suns all you have to do is dog Nash the whole game like Fisher did and front Amare. Amare after 8 yrs still cant post up with his back to the basket. He has only 2 shots. One is 2-3 ft from the basket with a sky dunk. If he dribbles more than one time he loses the ball before he dunks it. The other shot he has is the 10-12 foot jumper which good teams will let him shoot all day.
Gasol has several different shots and can post up with his back to the basket. Amare has never learned to do that. If the Suns dont win the next one they will be going fishing early.

Who is the KING? I hope we can put all that nonsense talk behind us now for good, because the REAL King resides in LA and not on Lake Erie. Jester James will never win anything while Kobe is still in the game. BTW I am a Miami Heat fan.

… we tried to tell you fools!! That was the single-best performance in the playoffs to date by Kobe. Get ready for more. Double team Kobe? OK, get burned in the post. Lakers have too many weapons. The Suns have no answer for this. Arizona, watch what a championship team looks like … see you in 5, maybe a sweep. We tried to warn you fools, now you had to see the Black Mamba for yourselves.

I’m not surprised though this isn’t a knock on the Suns. The Lakers are very much capable of doing this type of game against the elite teams. In this case, they made effective translation of potential to kinetic. I just hope that they be continuously consistent. Getting the killer instinct is what LA should always have. They cannot afford to be complacent and take the Suns for granted. Go Lakers! The Suns won’t just set into that good night without a good fight.
