Phoenix claims their trainers perform magic on their injured players and get them back into shape quickly in a way other teams can’t. That, plus their light work-outs instead of other teams full work-outs, they claim, gives them an edge (and not HGH, we hope).

Damn today is a tough one to call. I mean Amare against Odom doesn’t sound good to me. I saw how Dwight Howard was being physical on Gasol and Shaq “It takes a trade to make me play a couple seasons” (that one counts too) O’Neal is bigger. I know Gasol got Dwight in foul trouble, but the potential for Shaq to abuse him is there.

So Shaq’s been injured, probably not conditioned, and he’s now part of the “Organized Chaos” crew. Yeah right.

Rasarx,I like the part about ‘giving up your future for the present’ and then you ended off beautifully by saying ‘YOU MIGHT NOT GET THE PRESENT’(It took me a minute to get it but I DID).

Well said Rasarx.

I am pumped for tonight’s game.
I really want to see the Lakers kill the Suns and put the seed of doubt on their fans and management. That would be sweet.

An observation:

Phoenix traded a player at his peak for a has-been.

LA traded a never-been for a player at his peak.

The two teams were within a couple of games of each other before the trade.

As for the other biggies that everyone talks about:

San Antonio was old and is still old. I hear some of their players are already eligible for social security.

Dallas was not old so they went out and dumped their youth and size to get old and small? They kept Deavon George so you can add “stale” to their state also. How did Cuban got so rich with a brain like that?

Some times when you give up the future for the present, you might not even get the present.

Despite all the attention that the media gives to SA and Dallas, we should be worried about the up and coming teams. Come May I think there is an increasing chance that instead of those two we might be seeing the likes of Utah, N.O., or even Golden State, Houston and Portland. None of those improving teams made bone-headed moves.

I like our prospects.

Barring injuries, the Lakers are in a no-lose situation tonight. If they win tonight that will be a monumental statement. If they lose that won’t be much of a feat for Phoenix to have beaten a team that:

- has 2 starters and 1 reserve out with serious injuries
- has 1 starter playing despite a major injury
- is playing on the road
- played a game the night before.

All the while Phoenix is playing at home at full strength with no injuries having been well rested for almost a week.

KONG,I think comments totally destroy mine. It really is an OVER-HYPED game that only means something as far as pride for The Suns. The pressure is not on The Lakers to WIN-IT-ALL this year anyway and to “Brett” HELL YEAH I’M A GAS-OL-HOLIC!!! MITCHISKINGOFLA.com,FO’REAL.
