Can the Suns equal out with the lakers big ? Will this series even be from to watxh let's see what kobe will do


The Suns and the Lakers both enter the western conference finals with many questions. Some of these questions are can Kobe continue to perform greatest with having so many injury's ? ( such as the broken index fingers , missed up knee and a sprained ankle) Can Byum be explosive on the lower block ? If all these questions are a yes then the Lakers will be able to sweep the suns but , the Suns can also fight as well. For Example Steve Nash can hurt the Los Anglos Lakers in so many ways ( With his pick and roll , three pointers and etc).The Phoenix Suns also have a strong bench with Goran Dragic stepping up into difficult tasks , Channing Frye and Jared Dudley being the three points specialist.Moreover, the Suns two top scores Jason Richardson ( who can catch a fever any time and a master the game of basketball), Amar'e Stoudemire who is a fireball in the paint.


Game one Kobe came out strong scoring 40 to lead his Lakers to a win. Kobe had a play a solid game since many people thought that with all his injury's he will get slowed down and with Grant Hill being a strong defense none like ron Artest defense but a strong kobe will get locked up. But hey that's what everyone say to Kobe Bryant.Many people was happy with a suns bench but they didn't know the lakers have a bench as well Kobe bryant didn't do the the work since Odom had 19 points and 19 rebounds of the bench which a major performance that phil jackson will love to see all the time. Lakers won game one 128-107. First game in the series Bryant scores game 2 he assist having 13 assist a playoff career high. Kobe's 13 help put 5 other Lakers in double figures . Pau gasol led the way with 29 points wining 124-112.

What happen Hawks ?

Coming into the Eastern Conference finals Orlando beat the Hawks 3-1 in the regular season. However, people thought that the Hawks will play a little more defense and show the reason why they want to win a championship. The Atlanta Hawks haven't been to the Eastern Conference finals in a while and is hoping not to get eliminated early. Game one Magic took a easy lead in there series beating the Hawks 114-71. Moreover, most likely the Magic's game plan was to get the ball to Dwight Howard . This game plan was a start idea since Howard had 20 points and 12 rebounds his first double - double of the playoffs .
Game two Dwight Howard didn't cool down from game one although he started off the game slow he still finish the game with 29 points. At halftime the Magic's were down 57-49l. The Hawks came out fighting as they got big baskets from the key players .Such as Josh Smith , Al Horford and Jamal Crawford . But this still wasn't enough as the orlando majic powerhouse taking flight and controlling the paint on both side of the court. Vince Carter and Nelson also give in some huge baskets to put orlando on top after trailing in half - time which made orlando win 112-98.
After loosing focus in game 2 since they were trialing . Orlando took over the series winning game three and four in double . The Atlanta Hawks tried to fight back but the Magic's size and strength bulled the Hawks bigs both on the boards and in scoring. Orlando won 105-75 do to there intensive defense holding the Magic's to 35 percents shooting which is very poor for an NBA team. Game four orlando made it look easy beating the Hawks 98-84 with all five starters in double figures.

Boston Celtics vs. Cleveland Cavaliers


The Celtics vs the Cavaliers were the most interesting series in the conference finals. Every team got swiped other than the Cleveland Cavaliers . Although  the Boston  Celtics came out  strong the Cavs still wanted to fight. In the regular season people thought that with the Cavssweeping every team that the series would have been a blow out but, the Celtics proved everyone wrong by going back to there old defense which is help defense.  The Boston's defense is a major factor in this series since they have to hold off a star players like the king LebronJames. In Game one the Cavs had Paul Pierce (the Celtics caption) watch a numerous of film on how to guard James. Pierce did a solid job on  James holding him to 8-21 in game 4 , 3-14 in game 5 and 7-18 in game 6 which are some of James worst numbers.  People thought that late in the series James would have wake up and demand the ball and get more aggressive but instead James continue to try to get his team into the game although there were losing. Coming into the conference finals with the Boston Celtics vs the Cleveland Cavaliers the Celtics haselimated the the Cavs in 2008 in seven people figure the Cavaliers will be looking for payback. The Cavs did get a wake up call by coming out and winning game one 101 -93 in there house which was a great convince but, wasn't enough to beat the Celtics. Boston win game one 104 -86 with Rajon Rondo ties a franchise playoffs record with a career high 19 assists to send the series back to Boston tied 1-1.  In the game three the Cavs fire power Lebron James was on firing fire Scoring 21 first quarter points and finishing the game with 35 points. James had got an elbow injury in game three and is not giving no excuses about not playing the his game his just taking what defense is giving him and putting the points on the score broad. After game three the Celtics took over the series by continuing to fight and play there defense.

Lakers vs the Jazz


The Lakers swept the Jazz 4-0 because of there depth and size over the Utah Jazz. In the series Utah were upset since a numerous of there were injured and sore from both the regular season and the first round in the playoffs. In the post-game meeting reports quote Devon Williams saying " just because we have a few injured didn't mean that we didn't come to fight." Williams were true since he step in his contribution to the team to a level that players wish they wouldn't have got on his awful said. Devon Williams in the playoffs average a double -double 24.3 points and 10.2 assist.Jazz center Okur got injured with a torn Achilles and couldn't play for the rest of the playoffs . With this injury C.J miles and
Kyryllo Feseniko were able the get allot of playing .But this still wasn't enough as Kobe took over game one through four with major scoring.Controlling the game in every area. I mean really who wouldn't think that Kobe will not take over at some point because it is his team and when his team is not playing well he puts his team on his back and lead the way to victory. I will just kill him greatness since he preforms like greatness versus the jazz. Game three Kobe lead the way with 35 points trying to sweep to the jazz . Game 4 jazz started off the game with a numerous of energy in there house but Lakers came back playing the Lakers game which is a slow half-court game where the Lakers can operate there Bigs. The Lakers power-house Gasol were to much to handle on the lower block with Boozer guarding him. It an match up nightmare that boozer wasn't ready for. Lakers extended there season and hope to go the champship to win Kobe's third ring.

The Conference ( Sun vs Spurs )


The Suns pull a shocker sweeping the Spurs 4-0 . People thought that although San Antonia is an old they will still get the job done with Manu Ginobii contributing big . I would have never thought the Spurs legs would have died out after the first round but you know what they say it's either win or go home. The Suns ride the hot hand there point guard Steve Nash as he lead the way with 33 points and 10 assist. People will never think that Nash will have more points then assist but Suns needed a strong to get comfortable in the Semi finals of the playoffs. The Suns where the underdog when it came to the Spurs since in the last 5 playoffs appearance the Spurs has been the team that eliminated the Suns each time. With a solid team effort the Suns beat San Antonio 111-102 . Game 2 there were a numerous of argument on sports center talking about calling the Suns ( Los Suns ) because the NBA wanted to move the Suns the Los Anglous . With all the arguing the Phoenix Suns still went and perform like it was game 7 . When an major performance from there power-house Amar'e Stoudemire the Suns put the Spurs in a hole 0-2. Although steve nash got has got a beating from his opposing team Nash still lead has team to a win which show his love for basketball and his talent because Nash shot the ball with one eye in game one . Game three the suns not only got points from the starters but there bench also stepped up as Goran Dragic had 23 which help them got an 18 points lead. Many people believed in Dragic after this game since Dragic was never a scorer he was always the person that passes the ball but in the 2009 - 2010 season Dragic has got a numerous of confidence coming into the season and into the playoffs this shows being around Nash for a while and seeing his great leadership makes many younger points guard step up.
