lakers look like there back and getn ready 4 some serious competion.to make another run 4 the championship.

Congratulations Guys!! That's the play that we missed. Pelham 123 will not be delayed after all. It was indeed a very good game for the Lakers. Considering that Suns are a  good team the Lakers proved their match and everyone played very well. There were some knots and bolts but I think they played as a team and now we have  seen the results. This is the real Lakers. Now we can see more ball movement, we have good timing, good passing, everyone worked collectively as a team so now  we can really see the real Lakers talent. I wish to see more road wins for them having played like before. Remember they will always play their best when they meet the Lakers, and so the challenge will be there all the time when they play you guys.  However, I say this, if it's a dead heat game  it's always for the Lakers. No doubt about it. A Laker game is always a Playoff game.

Lakers congratulations. The game with the "suns" was

wonderful .  great game, great results. kobe was perfect, every

player was very good. Congratulations lakers, you played like

champions. love you lakers......

Crazy, Crazy game; I don't know if I was  watching a basketball game or a wrestling match or ultimate fighters.

Let the Suns's back in the game. They have some bad habits clean up. Definetley was a slippery slope. Glimmers of great play. I am glad they gave up the pity party Its a start. Gotta love em!

It's too early to say of what significance the Lakers' 102-96 victory Friday over the Phoenix Suns will ultimately mean. It's too early to say whether it will serve as the turning point toward sharper performances to close out the regular season. And it's too early to say whether this is just another example of the Lakers' inconsistency.

It's isn't too early to say, however, that the Lakers effort was convincing even if the execution wasn't always present. For the time being, that's all the Lakers needed. They needed it after losing their last four road games. They needed it so they could collect a signature win against a playoff caliber opponent. And, of course, they needed it so the Lakers (48-18) could maintain leads over Dallas (45-21), Denver (44-21) and Utah (42-23) in the Western Conference standings with 16 games remaining in the regular season.

I had maintained for the past month or so that the Lakers' development by the end of the season will bode more importance than wins or losses, though securing home-court advantage in the post season is always a nice bonus.

LAKERS FAN 4 LIFE !!!!!!

We have to beat the Suns on their home floor. So we can have 3 win and 1 loss against them. We need to get a better road record  like we have at home in Staples Center. We need to step up a little bit more by getting the whole team involve. We do not need to lose anymore games from here on out. Cleveland has the best record so far so we need to step up and take their spot. WE are number 1 so let act like we are number 1. I want to see the Cleveland Lakers matchup like it supposed to been last year.Orlando took their last year,but I don't think they will take it this year. This be good matchup so we can see what Lebron is actually all about. Even though we lost against them twice in the regular seasons we have to show them we are capable of beating where it matters the most which is the the playoffs. Let go Lakers!!!! Play like we are still hungry for another championships.

Coach Phil Jackson is very aware of his teams issues.  Especially team basketball. Doing the fundamentals and communicating on the floor. This is about confidence and trusting each other now not about talent. I think we are going to see a different mentality in tonights game.

i'm big fan of the lakers but right now not so much we need to get back in shape aleast if we wanna win so come on lets go lakers we can do it i'm getting in shape because i want you to know that if i can do you can do it and your much bigger than me not even my schoolmates remember my names♦  lets go los angles lakers

I am a huge fan of the lakers. Seeing them play this year is very frustrating. The lakers seemed to have disconnect in their ball movement, have difficulty in pick n roll of the opposing team (which happens a lot), positioning for a defensive/offensive rebound.

I am also disappointed on how gasol and bynum are playing. Sure they keep indicating that the play should be inside out but if they get the ball they don't deliver (especially in the crucial moments of the game). They are too slow compared to other centers from the other teams. What my perception of them is that both gasol and bynum think they are already very good inplaying basketball. They seemed to have a chip on their shoulder that they are one of the best players on the league and that they don't need to improve on their style of play. Sure, statistically they show good numbers but watching them throughout the game, you'll see a lot of mistakes happening...ball handling, positioning, how they take a second shot after a rebound, just throwing the ball to the ring hoping it will go in, keep yelling everytime they shoot the ball (with or without contact), complaining too much to the referees and so on.

Basketball is an evolving game where you learn every minute of the game and adjust to the situation at hand. Gasol and Bynum shuold use they height to their advantage by always driving in to get a foul, and if tight give it out to the open teammate.
