Lakers vs Suns Game 2

   With an one nothing lead the Lakers look to go up two games in the series on their home floor the Staples Center. However this would be a very difficult task for the Suns because throughout the 2010 playoffs the Lakers have not been defeated in the Staples Center, so home court is very important when it comes to the playoffs. Like I said in my previous blog about the Suns and Laker match up was that the Suns need to double Kobe more and receive more rebounds, they completed one of the tasks which was double Kobe Byrant more. At one point of the game Kobe Byrant was five of thirteen from the field, however he brought another skill in his repitoire he started passing more and ended the game with a career playoff thirteen assists which led the whole Laker team but the leader of the whole game for assists was Suns superstar point guard Steve Nash with fifteen assists. In the end the Lakers won the game twelve points 124-112, with paul gasol leading the way with twenty nine points and Lamar Odom leading the team in rebounds with eleven. The Suns leader in scoring was their veteran shooting guard Jason Richardson who had twenty seven but it wasn't enough to stop the former world champs who have six straight games in the playoffs. In my opinion like I said before the Suns need to get more rebound so that at least have a chance to stop Kobe and the Lakers but then again they are a small team, however their excuse for your leading rebounder should have only six rebounds for two straight games. In conclusion the Suns are going back home where they play great so I think we might have a series when it comes to next because i honestly cant see the Lakers sweeping or beating the Suns in Phoenix.
