Los Angeles Lakers @ Phoenix Suns.
Round 1, Game 1.
Sunday April 22nd, 2007.
12:00 PM (Pacific) on ABC.

Sweet revenge! I like the Lakers' chances in this series, more so than last season. Lakers are a year older as a team and are FINALLY getting their groove back with EVERYONE (minus Chris Mihm) ready to play. Still so many questions though...Will Jordan Farmar start at point guard? I don't know. But I do know we have a much better team than we did 1 year ago...And who will be left off the playoff roster? I'm assuming it'll be Shammond Williams and Aaron McKie, which could hurt...I'm ready for the Lakers to tear into the overrated Suns. Who do ya'll think will take this series? Post your thoughts here...PeACe

There is one Key : Defense.. if we can slow it down during most of the series , we'll win.. don't forget last year in the 3 wins, Suns scored under 100 pts.. I hope EVERY player will enter this series focused and not making stupid mistakes...  the thing I wonder is can we increase the level of our defense intensity i.e stay with the shooters and don't let opening lanes ect.. offensive wise Lamar has to abuse (no homo) Marion as he did last year by posting him up, Luke has to do the same thing with Barbosa, be aware we're bigger at each position (unless Diaw starts) so I DO hope we aren"t jacking 3s like morons.. we can do it, players have to use last year as motivation.. Ronny , if staying outside foul troubles, can be a key factor in this battle.. to be honest I'm way more worry about weak mentality of most of the roster than any other things

I believe Phil will have them mentally prepared.
