Kobe Bryant Just Too Much For Suns

No matter how many injuries Kobe Bryant has it never seems to slow him down. Last night Bryant was the Kobe we know as he tossed in 40 points to help the Lakers to an easy 128-107 rout of the Phoenix Suns. Bryant had it going last night and when he does he is very tough to stop. Lamar Odom added 19 points and 19 rebounds for the Lakers as well.

Amare Stoudemire scored 23 points and Steve Nash had 13 points and 13 assists for the Suns, who hadn’t lost since April 24. Robin Lopez started at center and scored 14 points in his playoff debut. The Lakers were just too much for the Suns on this night. The Suns will need to make some adjustments for Game 2 if they want to even the series.

Steve Nash Still Has Eye On The Prize

Steve Nash has heard all the stats he probably ever wants to hear. He probably can name you every league MVP who has not made it to the NBA Finals or won it all. It seems everyone keeps reminding him of it, and he just smiles about it. He knows he cannot stop the talk until he gets their and wins it all. Nash knows this is probably his best chance and he does not want to blow it.

Many people have the Lakers as big favorites, but the odds do not bug Steve Nash. No one expected much from him or his Suns in the playoffs. He knows that he will need to play almost perfect if the Suns want a chance to get to the NBA Finals. The way Steve Nash is playing it would not surprise me for him and his Suns to pull the upset. Over the years Nash has always had his eyes on the prize, but now it is a lot closer.
