Y ou can’t go under a screen on Steve Nash. You can’t turn your back on the man with the ball in the triangle. Christmas has given us the gift of the attacking style of the Phoenix Suns versus the triangle offense of the Los Angeles Lakers. Pretty much everyone thought the addition of Brian Skinner was to provide the Suns with a modicum of toughness. Grant Hill was brought in to ...

We would much prefer to see the Suns take on the Spurs, or Mavericks, or Pistons, or Celtics; but the NBA hasn't given us a Kobe-less Christmas (the lockout year excluded) since he entered the league, and with Los Angeles at 17-10, pitting the Lakers ...Wednesday 12/26 A.M.

I can't blame the Suns for laying a Christmas egg yesterday... hell, I wouldn't want to work either. That being the case, I doubt the LA Lakers wanted to work either, but at least they played a worthy game. The Lakers' win over the Suns puts Phoenix only 1 game up in the Pacific Division, with the surprising Lakers in second (& rising). The past 3 years (or more), the Suns have really ...Suns Lose To Lakers Again… Really?

The NBA gave basketball fans a wonderful Christmas present when the Phoenix Suns visited the LA Lakers. Unfortunately for the Suns, they received coal for the holidays as the Lakers emerged with a well-earned 122-115 victory. The loss exposed a myriad of flaws for the Suns which will doom them if they aren’t corrected in time for the NBA’s second season. Defense: The Suns ...Photos: Grant Hill... Posterized!

By Craig Kwasniewski The highlight of the Lakers 122-115 win over over Phoenix on Christmas Day was Trevor Ariza's posterization of Grant Hill in the first half. Not even a week ago Hill was throwing down on DeSagana Diop (the modern day Shawn Bradly)... somewhere at a Dallas strip club Diop is smiling. Now Suns fans/Lakers haters don't fret, here's where you can sound off about the ...Lakers overcome distraction, become contender

Jake Lloyd The Sports Columnist It was a Christmas Day Miracle, really. There were the mighty, high-flying, running-and-gunning Phoenix Suns, the lock this season to win the Western Conference's Pacific Division and roll into the playoffs as one of the top few seeds. But they weren't the miracle. The miracle workers were the guys in yellow jerseys. There was Kobe Bryant , the subject of ...Bryant and Bynum Return Showtime to Christmas

While many of us were busy unwrapping gifts and spending time with family yesterday, the Los Angeles Lakers were busy handing the Phoenix Suns their second loss in as many match-ups this season. Kobe got his; scoring 38 points with seven assists and five rebounds on the afternoon. The real story, however, was young center Andrew Bynum who scored a career high 28 points and had 12 rebounds ...Kobe Bryant Gets A Dominant Andrew Bynum for Christmas
Posted 12/26/2007 on FanIQ Blog
I can only hope you received as good a present as Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers received Christmas Day. A mature and at times dominant Andrew Bynum that outplayed the Phoenix Suns Amare Stoudemire. 28 points on 11-of-13 shooting with 12 rebounds in the post will bring LA wins every time out with Bryant on the perimeter.

( Richard Hartog / Los Angeles Times ) The Lakers, a quickly developing young team, ruined Christmas on Planet Orange with an impressive 122-115 win over the Suns. It was Kobe leading the way, a game-high 38 points, but it was Bynum doing most of the damage. Andrew, under the keen look of his Hall of Fame mentor Kareem Abdul Jabbar, was spectacular: 28 points, 11-of-13 shooting, and 12 ...Lakers Blot Out Suns 122-115

I think Trevor Ariza's dunk over Grant Hill said it all (he also had 14 points and 7 rebounds, oh, and the dunk of the year!), the Lakers didn't dominate the Phoenix Suns, but they definitely looked like the better team on Christmas Day at the Staples Center. After watching the Lakers handle the team that kicked them around in the playoffs last year it has become apparent that Kobe ...Merry Christmas Steve Nash, But Can Kobe Have His Jock Back Now?

Andrew Bynum, 11-13 shooting for a career high 28, and Kobe Bryant 38 pts. 8 dimes went off on the Suns today as the Lakers beat Phoenix 122-115. Nash had a nice game with 24 and 14 but damn, do the Suns ever play D? Grant, you know you are my man, but Richard Dumas Trevor Ariza banged it on you too bruh. Bynum is fast becoming a star.

Can't say that any Lakers fan would be really ecstatic to hear this, but Kwame "Butterfingers" Brown will be back from his ankle/knee injury that kept him out of 17 games this season. He should be ready to practice on Monday and who knows maybe he will be even in the lineup for the Christmas Day match up against the Phoenix Suns (yeah right). Kwame coming back will come just at the right ...
