Oh please. The Suns are not missing FTs to keep from playing the Kings.
What's going on in LA is a travesty. The Phoenix Suns are a proud team with proud young men. They're being subjected to a humiliating loss that is solely for strategic purposes and I'm pretty sure they'd rather be having root canal surgery.
Ultimate traveshamockery is that Kobe was still playing. Stat padding anyone???

the running. the damn constant running; i think the kings are less athletic than the lakers.
and i also think the running game of phoenix takes brad miller out of the kings entirely; with the spurs, i think it's more conventional and we'd be able to use him more.
i don't think anyone matches up well to phoenix's running game, but the lakers do better than the kings.

Maybe the Sun's strategy is to give the Lakers some confidence and then crush that confidence in game 1 of their series. This would pretty much destroy the Lakers confidence and make all Kings fans happy to see the Lakers looking like "WTF is going, we can't hang with them" on the court. Especially Kobe.
true, but i don't think the stats tell the whole story. maybe a different story if we were 50-50 against them, and the lakers were, say, 70-30.
2-2 and 3-1 is a too small a sample size. just from watching the way the kings run versus the lakers run, i still think they are a better match up for the suns.

Looking not really relevant, but you're assuming ANY team can outrun the Suns. They cannot. We are potential Suns cryptonite precisely because of the overpowering post players we have that can just pummel them down low in the halfcourt.
Suns had won 8 in a row vs. Lakers. That's pretty decisive when you are talking about the lakers uddenly having to be able to beat them 4 of 7.

I still think there is a reasonably good chance of us getting 7th. All we have to do is not let Ray Allen hang 50 on us and the Hornets have to beat the Lakers. The Hornets could beat the Lakers in hope of finishing the season on a positive note and the Lakers could rest some players to get ready for the playoffs.
