Laker Goggles:

The way we’ve been playing since the All-Star break, it’s amazing that we’re favorites going into the Valley of the Sun. If the Suns can get out in transition it will be another long night for us.

We shoot too many 3’s, and since we all know long shots equal long rebounds, that could most likely be the Suns most effective “outlet pass” in igniting their fast break. We need to pound the ball inside to take advantage of our length in the frontcourt and slow the game down in the process.
