Lakers V Suns

With a week off between the Western Conference Semi finals and Finals Sports Observer Monthly has had a lot of opportunity to read articles by paid scribes in regards to the series.

Everything written or tweeted about the series is about how many games it will take for the Lakers to dispose of the Suns and move on to the NBA Finals. No one is giving the Suns much of a chance in the series. People say the Lakers are too big with Gasol and Bynum on the inside and a guy named Kobe on the outside. Sports Observer Monthly has to agree with everyone else the Lakers will be too much for the Suns and will win the series in six.

Even though the Lakers are projected to win the series there will still be plenty of things to watch for in the series. The best will be the Laker bench v the Suns bench. In watching the Lakers bench through out the playoffs they sometimes have a tendency to let teams back into the game. The Suns bench could be the key to the Suns winning the series. If Goran Dragic, Jason Dudley, and the rest of the bench can come in and hit some key three pointers, hold a lead, and shut down the Laker bench it could mean trouble for the Lakers. The Lakers are again going to rely on Lamar Odum, Shannon Brown, and hopefully not Luke Walton to carry them while Kobe and Pau get their rest. If they play well it's all over for the Suns. If they play shaky or don't show up it could be a tighter series than most people think.

Again the Lakers will be too strong for the Suns and with Kobe the Lakers will prevail in six. Watch out for updates through out the series.
