Suns gets back at the Lakers in game 3. Big game by Nash and Stoudemire  

It was indeed a very impressive game by the Suns but they have to be so prepared in game 4. Kobe Bryant had his way in the fourth quarter especially in the later part of the game where he just attacked the rim at will and was able to score, not really good for the Suns. Also, Lamar Odom was a non-factor in that game and for sure he'll be back some time in the series. However, if Nash and Stoudemire and better yet include Jason Richardson as well, could come up with another superhuman performance in game 4, there's a very good chance that the Suns would even the series up. A major task would be on Grant Hill and Jared Dudley's shoulders since Bryant for sure will try to redeem the Lakers, and of course, they Suns should either do what they did in game 3 or do it better in game 4 against Pau Gasol and Odom. Neutralizing the Lakers interior is a major key in stopping the Lakers. This is going to be a very interesting one, especially if the Suns could win game 4.

Oh,what you said is quitely right and I just can say I am totally with you.You are so fanatical and dedicated ,much better than me.You know sometimes I feel it's difficult for me to express my views on NBA in English ,but each time I read your post,I feel it can enlarge my knowledge and open my eyes.It 's my presure to talk about NBA games with you.

I hope to see a big game not only from Steve Nash and Amare Stoudemire but also from Jason Richardson and Grant Hill in game 4. There's one invisible man for the Suns in the series against the Lakers and it's Channing Frye. Frye has been struggling against the Lakers and if he could get his groove back, that would be really big for the Suns. He could stretch the Lakers interior defense outside and loosen up so the Suns could compete for the rebounds.

I think that Channing is fried..

LOL. I like that, Channing is fried. But as a Suns fan, I definitely want Frye to come up big once again so the Suns would have a better chance against the Lakers.

If he comes up big, he will not be able to run and gun because he's big and can't run as fast as Steve Nash.

Amare Stoudemire was just a lot more aggressive than he was in the first two games. If he remains that aggressive and Jason Richardson, Grant Hill, and hopefully Channing Frye steps up more, the Suns chances against the Lakers will definitely increase. After games 3 and 4, Stoudemire should remain that aggressive and continuously attack the basket, that's the only way to stop the Lakers dominance inside, get Pau Gasol, Lamar Odom, and Andrew Bynum to foul trouble.

Stoudemire can manuever Pau Gasol while facing the basket.His aggressiveness is the difference of the game. I think Odom is a good defensive matchup for Stoudemire that the former has also speed.

I wonder what adjustments would the Lakers make in game 4. Amare Stoudemire just toyed Pau Gasol. Odom is definitely a lot better match-up for Stoudemire defensively, he could move better than Gasol.
