I know it's obvious, now that a half has been played, but this series could be great again.
I don't think the Lakers personnel is worse than last year, they just weren't playing as well. Bynum wasn't really playing last year, so that's a plus. And Farmar started today. If he can give them some help on D, they could be trouble for the Suns.
The Suns are better with Stoudamire too, but there aren't too many differences in the rematch.
And yes, Kobe is amazing. That 3 at the buzzer was unreal. He even looks better with the Suns on the floor. Man their "ole" defense is awful.
