Once again, the Lakers come to Phoenix, and once again, Phoenix fills the role as the wanna-be franchise dynasty. The Suns boast of 2 consecutive MVPs but 0 rings, but if you listen to the din of sportswriters, the Suns are the greatest thing to happen to basketball since the LA Gear Catapult.
At the half, the Lakers are up by 13. The ESPN crew is already making excuses for Nash & Co.....i.e. they are tired from the long flight (like this is January)... but no mention of the stout LA defense that has afforded Kobe the opportunity to shoot 20% from the field. Andrew Bynum had an impressive 2nd quarter with some fine offensive moves waiting for Kobe to come in and miss 4 shots for every 2 he makes. The real story tonight is how the Laker frontline has completely dominated Amare Stoudamire, Boris Diaw and Brian Skinner. Kwame may not be able to put it down, but he can body up and rebound. Bynum looks like a cross between Shaq-fu and Hakeem.... he needs the ball.
