La Lakers/Phoenix Suns under 214
Obviously the Lakers have 0 chance of taking this series...however I don't think they see it that way. Jackson is the best post season coach I know of and he should have a gameplan for approaching the Suns next week. I might be going out on a limb here, but I'm pretty sure it's not "run with Phoenix"...lol...if they get into a track meet with the Suns, they will not survive the 4th contest! They need to slow down the pace of play, and shorten the games...that's what underdogs do...if they can keep it close, Jackson knows that Kobe can take over the last few minutes of these games and give them a fighting chance. BTW, last year these teams matched up in the playoffs...they went over 214 once out of 7 contests, with two OTs. The line has already dropped, and I expect it to continue dropping all week. Figure this game to stick somewheres around 200, not much more IMO
