Let it be known that while the Lakers might be favored to win it on paper, it is the Suns who are favored to win it in the hearts of the general public, worldwide.

That's awesome! lol

Nice Photoshop.

Read it and weep, holmes

Does it really surprise you? People are tired of seeing the Lakers in the Finals, and this is a really, really likable Suns team. Even the Spurs were happy to see us sweep them.

I can't see that link cuz I'm on my phone, but when I voted on it at home an hour ago the lakers were ahead 65% to 35%. Not sure if it's the same one, but I found it on the sportsnation NBA section asking who was going to win.

Ahh, so it's just your reading comprehension that's failing you.

No, but even if it did, the majority of the map was blue.

Because you say you voted on one that was asking who thought would win; this one is on who everyone is rooting for. RC101 son!

Even California is 40% for the Suns.

And I'd venture to guess NorCal would be in the red, too. The only place that wants LA to win this series is SoCal.

If this was ice skating, you guys would be all set.

Too bad the states can't dictate who wins this series... otherwise you guys would have a chance

Jon Ireland said yesterday on the radio that when he asked Kobe to come on his show, Kobe declined saying "I don't want to be put into a position where I have to say anything nice about the Suns, I just want to be dialed in."

Jon Ireland reported that Kobe was extra focused on mentally preparing for the upcoming series. Ireland also reported that when reporters asked Kobe if being knocked out of the playoffs twice by the Suns was still fresh in his mind, Kobe replied "What do you think?"

UH OHH.... It's Mamba time.

The Suns just hope it's not Llama time and Candyman time.

Ahh, rooting for. Yeah, I get that. Not very surprising at all.

Phil Jackson: Nash carries the ball



EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- When the Los Angeles Lakers clinched a berth in the Western Conference finals on Monday, Lakers coach Phil Jackson had nothing but praise for his team's upcoming opponent, the Phoenix Suns, saying that the Suns are playing their best basketball of the season.


On Friday, Jackson retreated from praise and started posturing when asked if it was difficult to simulate the Suns and their star point guard Steve Nash in practice during the long layoff before Game 1.

"Yeah, because you can't carry the ball like he does in practice," Jackson said, smiling as he moved his arm and turned over his palm, the symbol for an illegal carry in the unofficial sign language of basketball. "You can't pick that ball up and run with it."

Phil Jackson, already playing the mind games.
