I really want the Suns to win....and am picking the upset. The Suns' energy prevails and Suns win in five.

*Note I was going to pick the Lakers until I heard Bynum was hurt. That makes the difference for me

There are also rumblings that Phil will retire after this season. If he does thats real bad news for the Lake Show. Last time that happened, they ended up missing the playoffs the next year and had to beg him to come back.

Wasn't that also the same year the Lakers lost their #2 player in shaq.... And they didn't win again until they got another #2.... Just saying... maybe it's the players... Shaq and Wade won

I am not sure he had too. He was just feeling good so why take it out of his hands. The Lakers bench scored a good amount too. So it is not like they relied on Kobe. He was just hot.

I know they didn't rely on him, and I know he was playing well, but I still think it's indicative of what is to come: Kobe having to get it done while others watch. Kobe is lucky to have Gasol, as just from watching their games (not going on stats) the other players are very unreliable (offensively, at least). Well, maybe not Fisher as much, but I'd like to see Brown more anyway.

Once again #24 showed why he is the best post season player in the NBA. 40/5/5 in just 35 minutes. Expect a similar effort game 2.

Pau Gasol was also in top playoff form going 21/4/5 on 10 of 13 shooting.

Honorable mention goes to Shannon Brown for going 3-6 shooting with perhaps the greatest "miss" in NBA Playoff history.

I hope Shannon filed a flight plan for this attempt with the FAA.

Not much to say about this game. Maybe the Suns can make it a series by wining game 2.

I'm sure they feel they need to. They should, cause if they're down 0-2 against LA, they know Lakers could steal one in Phoenix.

Btw, I love your avatar. Jordan is so fuging hot. She's my favorite LC

      Strength of Schedule

      By chknwing · Posted

      I'm looking at the schedule and I see a 10+win season easy.  I think Carolina goes undefeated in the division.  I also believe that the Bears, Bengals, Lions, Browns, Steelers are very winnable.  Revenge game with phillips and the eagles could be a win.  Honestly only 2 games I see as chalking up a L to off the bat is the Seahawks and Broncos.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By Navy_football · Posted

      I guess so. Don't think I was involved with previous discussions.  Tepper is one of the newest owners in the NFL. Dan is going into his 3rd season as a GM - ever. Dave is going into his 3rd season as a HC - ever. Before becoming a HC, he was an OC/playcaller for one season total. Idzik is about to go into his 1st year as a play caller - ever. WRs are rookies, sophomores and 3rd year guys - though the experienced 3rd year guys are XL and Coker (who has missed a ton of games). TEs are guys going into their 2nd and 3rd seasons, and Tommy Tremble - though Sanders has missed a ton of games. QB has played 3 years. Chuba is an experienced RB, but Brooks and Etienne have taken very little snaps at the position. O-line is more experienced vets with some talent - which is HUGE. Need them to stay healthy. I mean the offense is very young in every aspect except O-line. You see it differently?
