		<description>Mike - I understand your take on the game. 
 
Just remember that when the Lakers were in our back-to-back shoes, they looked even worse than the Suns in their follow up in Denver to our first game. 
 
Now also realize that Louis is not the only one who is sick. The flu bug bit the Suns hard. They don&#039;t want to talk about it much. That is just plain smart not to tip your hand. They also miss  the on-court chemistry between Nash and the Brazilian Blur. They will play much better when LB is back.  
 
MUST start and ALSO finish with LB. Let&#039;s go SUNS!!!! </description>

		<description>It was definitely a bad game. But it&#039;s not so bad when you consider the Suns have been away so much and that time on the road is daunting. If the Suns had been sprinkling these loses in with consistent winning as well, it wouldn&#039;t be such a big deal.

		<description>I have to say that, even with the refereeing, the Suns were thoroughly outplayed.  The Lakers are just too big inside.  Stoudemire didn&#039;t get anything inside, and that&#039;s not Frye&#039;s area.  Still, it looks like the Lakers are just about able to do anything they want on D without getting called for fouls.  Not saying it would have changed anything, but it&#039;s easy to have the best defense in the league when you know you can hack away without any repercussions.</description>

		<description>Did you see the number of fouls getting called on the Suns? The Suns didn&#039;t even have a free throw until midway thru the 2nd quarter. It&#039;s a bit funny how Donaghy was on 60 Minutes the same time as the game. The Lakers refs seemed to have his impartiality.</description>
