Kobe Bryant had a "significant amount of fluid" drained from his right knee recently and hasn't practiced with the Los Angeles Lakers since they advanced through the Western Conference semifinals, the Los Angeles Times reported on Monday

Bryant isn't the only Laker hurting. Center Andrew Bynum has practiced just once since the Lakers advanced past the Utah Jazz to the conference final. He said hi right knee injury was "getting a little worse" after taking part in a team scrimmage on Saturday

If Kobe is slowed at all by this I think the suns have a real shot to steal this series. Robin Lopez could be a big factor in this series(if healthy) against a hobbled andrew bynum.

True, the injuries at least give Phoenix a shot. However its hard to bet on the team that needs to bang in a ton of 3's in 4 games in order to advance.

I at least want close games and entertainment!

People don't seem to have any problem predicting Orlando to win our series.  ::)

I want the Phoenix matchup, I just don't buy into the "rematch" thing. With that being said, the Suns can be a dangerous opponent though.
