L.A. LAKERS -6½ over Phoenix
3:35 PM EST. Interesting, isn’t it that the NBA decided to make Brooklyn/Boston & Clippers/Mavs the prime time games and not Lebron vs Chris Paul? You see, Lakers/Suns is mostly Men against Boys. L.A. is taller, longer and wider. “Threepoint Lebron” is turning into “Drive to the Hoop Lebron” with the bell of the playoffs having rung. In Game 3, all of Anthony Davis’ 10 field goals in the paint were either assisted, or came after offensive rebounds. Prior to Game 1, we said, ‘Bad series to be Deandre Ayton of the Suns, and yet they won that game when the Lakers shot horribly, but on balance, Phoenix’s lone “rim protector” has too much to do.
The Lakers blueprint for winning is to let Chris Paul shoot and focus more attention on Devin Booker. Whatever strategy the Lakers are employing, it seems to be getting progressively worse for the Suns. Maybe Monty Williams will go super-small and put another guard on the floor to see if quickness and outside shooting can overcome the Lakers’ inside dominance. We shall see but will it really matter? The Lakers are forcing the Suns to alter their plans and that’s never a good thing in Game 4 on the road against a Lebron James-led team.
