Is the Suns' recored just hype

or is the media really in love with Nash that much.? I’m starting to hear a lot of Nash-MVP talk again. I love Kobe and the Lakers but of the only teams remaining with one loss D wade is more deserving than Nash. He has absolutely no one on his team compared to Nash. I know it’s early but the talks have already started.

Kobe on Shaq (2003) - "But this is his team, so it's time for him to act like it. That means no more coming into camp fat and out of shape, when your team is relying on your leadership on and off the court.....no more blaming others for our team's failure, or blaming staff members for not overdramatizing your injuries so that you avoid blame for your lack of conditioning. Also, "my team" doesn't mean only when we win; it means carrying the burden of defeat just as gracefully as you carry a championship trophy."

Well,

I don’t think they’re hype.

They seem liberated to run and gun again, it looks like they’re having fun, sometimes that freedom can allow players to perform at high levels again. There is no more frustration, they’re launching the 3 ball very well like no tomorrow …

If the Suns are able to keep this up for the rest of the season and everyone stays injured, we might be looking at our #2 or #3 seed… but should a healthy Lakers team meet with this Suns team, I do think our overwhelming advantage in length from our front court will be the key. Plus we still got that Kobe guy and he’s pretty damn good. He’ll most likely want revenge on the Suns every night anyways.

Still, we shall see how the Lakers, even without Pau, fair against this Suns team. We should, theoretically, hold them on our own. Especially if Kobe is able to work in the post.

Play the game of which Lakers reminds you of: TA - TI, Shannon Brown - Chris Brown, Pau Gasol - Jesus, Machine - Luis Scola/Russell Brand, PJ with mustache and beard - Colonel Sanders.

Yup

and you just reminded me that since the Suns eliminated the Lakers they have not met in the playoffs. They are due to meet. I only wish they still had Bell to make it an even sweeter revenge.

Look, I want the Lakers to win tonight as much as than anyone.

But without Pau and with Drew just coming back I think the Suns have a good shot at this game. Besides the fact that they shot 13-26 or 50% last night from 3 point land, and Nash will pick & roll us to death, I think both Amare & Channing Frye play out around the arc. Which one is Drew going to guard out there? (Yes, I do know Drew will punish them on offense if he can stay out of foul trouble. And hopefully we can make Nash play some D too.)

Anyway, in the playoffs or if we had everyone back or if we were playing well, I think we kill them. But I’m not sure we’re playing well enough right now.

And let me just repeat. I hate the F’ing Suns!!!

And yes I am a 2009 World Champion Fan.

I think we all hate them

but you have to admit, they did beat the Celtics.

No doubt. I just didn’t want anyone to mistake my comments as being those of a Suns fan.

I think the game is relatively meaningless but I still don’t want to lose to those Nash. (In fact, I would be happy if the Lakers signed Horry to a 24 hour contract just so he can push Nash into the scorer’s table again. Maybe Amare will come off the bench again – and get suspended again.)

hilarious
Horry to a 24 hour contract just so he can push Nash into the scorer’s table again.

That made me laugh as much as when a the Lakers signed Artest and someone on SSR said something to the effect that they hoped that if Artest does go crazy and starts smaking down on fans that he hoped it happened in Boston….lol too funny!
