PHX-LAL, whos gonna win?  

I'm a huge Phoenix Suns and as much as I root for the Suns, the Lakers is just simply too much for the Suns. Clearly the Lakers height will be evident and for sure will be taken advantage by Phil Jackson. The absence of Robin Lopez on the Suns camp will really be felt. Pau Gasol, Andrew Bynum, and Lamar Odom will be too much for the Suns. The Lakers have the right tools to neutralize the Suns, Ron Artest on Steve Nash in particular. I'm giving the series to the Lakers in 5 or 6 games. This is going to be a hard series for the Suns but as the underdogs, they won't give the series to the Lakers without a fight. Nash, Amare Stoudemire, and Jason Richardson must all come up big but the real key for the Suns is the bench. Leandro Barbosa, Goran Dragic, and Jared Dudley must come up big in helping the Suns compete against the deep roster of the Lakers.
