Dead_Burton: Smush Parker needs to play better defence on Nash...no doubt about it....follow what Spurs did against Suns last year...make Nash a shooter, rather than a passer.....he creates havoc if he can get in the lane, and dish out.....need to stop him right around foul line or farther.......Having said that, one-on-one defense is really vital....If Lakers can atleast make Nash a shooter.....they will score 95-105 points, and Lakers should have no problem 105 or more to beat them......I seriously think Lakers can beat Suns, and Clippers for that matter....Clippers got ucky...they avoided Dallas.....otherwise, Lakers would have matched better against either Memphis or Denver.....
