Zoned-Out Lakers Will Outshine Suns Andrew Bynum, Derek Fisher, Jerry Buss, Kobe Bryant, Lamar Odom, Pau Gasol, phil jackson, Suns News | (0)
by Terence MooreFiled under: Lakers, Suns, NBA Playoffs PHOENIX -- They'll still win it. They'll escape these Western Conference finals to defend their world championship in the NBA Finals. That's because the lesser of the two opponents for the Los Angeles Lakers at the moment are the Phoenix Suns. The Lakers' biggest opponent? Themselves. What a mess. I mean, in the midst of the playoffs, the Lakers have usually mellow owner Jerry Buss turning into a 1970ish George Steinbrenner by suggesting that coach Phil Jackson might have to take a pay cut despite his 10 world championships rings. The Lakers also have Jackson in news ...

Game 4 Could Be Stoudemire’s Suns Home Finale Alvin Gentry, Amare Stoudemire, Brook Lopez, Channing Frye, Derek Fisher, Kobe Bryant, Luis Scola, Robin Lopez, Ron Artest, Suns News | (0)
by Chris TomassonFiled under: Lakers, Suns, NBA PlayoffsPHOENIX -- Amar'e Stoudemire claims he isn't thinking about it. But there is a chance Tuesday could mark his final home appearance in a Phoenix uniform. If the Suns, trailing 2-1 to the Lakers in the Western Conference finals, lose Game 4 at US Airways Center and Thursday's Game 5 in Los Angeles, they won't make it to a Game 6 Saturday at home. In that scenario -- and if Stoudemire opts out of his contract this summer and bolts -- that would make Tuesday his Suns home finale. "We're looking to try to win ...

Broken Nose, So What? Nash Plays On Alvin Gentry, Amare Stoudemire, Derek Fisher, Jason Richardson, Steve Nash, Suns News | (0)
by Chris TomassonFiled under: Lakers, Suns, NBA Injuries, NBA PlayoffsPHOENIX -- Steve Nash tried to shove his nose back in place himself, but that didn't work out too well. No big deal. The Phoenix point guard, who suffered a minimally displaced nasal fracture with displaced cartilage Sunday night, went to practice as usual Monday morning. Then he went to the doctor to have his nose put back in place. Nash, who won't miss any game time due to the injury, was hurt in a late fourth-quarter collision with Lakers guard Derek Fisher in a 118-109 win, which cut Phoenix's deficit to 2-1 ...

Video: Derek Fisher and Robin Lopez Mix It Up in Game 3 Derek Fisher, Robin Lopez, Suns News | (0)
by Brett PollakoffFiled under: Lakers, Suns, NBA Playoffs, NBA VideosPHOENIX -- The Western Conference finals series between L.A. and Phoenix has been competitive at times, but it hasn't been all that chippy or physical. But mid-way through the third quarter of the Suns' Game 3 win over the Lakers, Robin Lopez and Derek Fisher got tangled up a bit, and the result was Fisher taking exception to a Lopez elbow that just so happened to graze his head as Lopez ran by. Here's video of the incident. You know how these things go, right? The initial contact seemed to be legitimately harmless, ...

Ailing Bynum Can’t Keep Up With Suns Andrew Bynum, Derek Fisher, Kobe Bryant, phil jackson, Suns News | (0)
by Chris TomassonFiled under: Lakers, Suns, NBA Injuries, NBA PlayoffsPHOENIX -- Andrew Bynum's great size mostly has been looked at as an asset. Now, some are seeing it as an anchor dragging down the Lakers. While the Lakers' 7-foot, 285-pound starting center won't admit the small cartilage tear in his right knee is the primary reason for his recent poor play, coach Phil Jackson is being a lot more candid. Or at least as candid as Jackson can be without having some side motive. After the Lakers fell 118-109 to Phoenix on Sunday night at US Airways to have their Western Conference ...

Derek Fisher Helping Chances of Staying With Lakers Next Season Derek Fisher, Deron Williams, Pau Gasol, phil jackson, Russell Westbrook, Steve Nash, Suns News | (0)
by Chris TomassonFiled under: Lakers, Suns, NBA Playoffs, NBA TransactionsEL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- One day this summer, Derek Fisher might need to stop by Kinko's and make all those decisions. What type of font does he want on his resumé? What tint of paper? Or maybe not. The Los Angeles Lakers point guard will be a free agent this summer. But he wants to stay where he is, and not have to send out any resumés. Talking to Fisher, you get the idea the chances are a lot higher he'll be back if the Lakers win a second straight NBA crown. "I want to ...
