Not that they have not looked just as primed for it in past years, but this time I think their lackadaisical attitude will bite them. I would enjoy any team beating them, and I do like the chemistry of the Suns. But Phoenix may not do it this year. Boston will, however. The Lakers are primed to lose a series this year.

For example, when you say.. "The calls to go for them (and boy did they go for them in Phoenix)" that's just you thinking the only way the lakers can lose is if something unfair happens. Look at the stats below For all you laker fans touting the difference in free throws saying that is proof of the refs favoring the Suns in the last two games. Here is some stats: You tout:stats: game 1 and 2 FT’s: PHX: 58, LAL: 56 game 3 and 4 FT’s: PHX: 74, LAL: 33 And you think it proves your point, But game 1 and 2 Lakere 3 pt attempts 35 game 3 and 4 Lakere 3 pt attempts 69 Almost double of attempts. Add to this the shooting of midrange jumpers, and it is easy to see the problem, the zone has taken away the biggest advantage of the Lakers and they are struggling to find offense outside of Kobe. Why, the Lakers are trying to shoot down the zone (and doing a rotten job of it) and not going insider, hence they don’t get the calls. your facts, like coach jackson are incorrect.

Sometimes your luck runs out, Lakers, and you dig a hole you can't crawl out of so... eh. Stay thirsty my friends.
