Will LA lose to Phoenix tonite?

[JR Giddens]

Last night made me so happy and I'm breathing easier now than anytime the past 2 months . In the start of the season the Lakers were destroying opponenets and keeping opponents like Portland, NO, and Dallas under points 90 while going 100+. I thought Bynum was the missing piece. At the same time the Celtics offense was terrible and Rondo and Ray weren't doing so well. I was and never will be a Laker fan. But they were a better team in October and maybe November and they didn't need OT and last second shots to get their record. However for the first time this season the Lakers have more losses than the Celtics while we have 3 more win. All this beating the 96' bulls crap is over. I think they'll make losing a habit tonite.

Yeah I seem to get a lot of joy out of Laker losses.  Much of this has to do with the hype that surrounds them.  The media, the fans, so many of them seem to think they are gonna win it all this year.  Even last year!

Ultimately though we need to have the best record when its said and done and that is the most important reason to cheer against them.

Well the suns can try and run tonight, as Shaq is out since he's attending a funeral.

Well the suns can try and run tonight, as Shaq is out since he's attending a funeral.

He had a great game last night, so he might've build on that... but sure.

I doubt the suns will win tonight, they are a better team with shaq on the floor and he's been their best player for a while now in this season.

That being said, if they can find their run & gun offense from the trash can, they stand a chance as the Lakers has one of the worst transition defenses of the "good teams" in the league

Lakers by 15+ if i were to bet on it

Would absolutely love it, but can't see it happening with no Shaq there. Nash really needs to be on his game.

Scratch that, I can actually see Nash leading the Suns to a win in this one.
