Am I the only Laker fan not fully excited until the Finals start? I've barely been keeping up with the previous series and honestly, I'm not even amped up about this new one.

That sounds like the words of a _______ should I say it? Bandwaggon / Fairweather / Frontrunner fan
Yes, I believe you are the only one.
Any of us could attest to it. There's too many reasons not to be excited about this series. Did you forget about the year 2006 & 2007?
I don't know how you can barely be keeping up with the previous series? Playoff time is always exciting for your respective team.

oh nah man I'm not comparing both teams
I'm saying when they sweep the Spurs it was done classy...Seeing that the Spurs owned them in the past...
Don't worry I got LA getting to the finals...But it would be nice to see an upset...Right?

PHOENIX -- The Phoenix Suns have reacted with a collective smirk to Phil Jackson's suggestion that Steve Nash travels with the basketball.
Nash even had a subtle retort worthy of Jackson himself.
"It's news to me. I'm fortunate. I don't know if I've been called for a carry yet," he said after the Suns practiced Saturday, then he added straight-faced: "I've never heard anyone accuse me of carrying it. I mean, the best coach in the league Gregg Popovich [of San Antonio] didn't have a problem with it last week."
Get it? Popovich the best coach in the league?
"We have the best officials in the world," Nash continued. "I'll just leave it up to them."
Jackson had grinned when asked on Friday if it's tough for the Lakers to prepare to face Nash, the reigning NBA skills champion, because of the Suns guard's frenetic style.
"Yeah, because you can't carry the ball like he does in practice," Jackson said, making a gesture of palming the basketball. "You can't pick that ball up and run with it."
Asked Saturday in El Segundo at Lakers practice about Nash's comments, Jackson smiled and feigned innocence. "I didn't complain about it. Did you hear me complain about it?"
Phoenix coach Alvin Gentry laughed off the accusation.
"You guys got to admire Phil," Gentry said. "C'mon, the stuff that he throws out there, I mean I think it's great. He's very creative. There's a reason. But I think you've got to understand that there's kind of a method to his madness. If you let it affect you, then it will."
Gentry went on to praise Jackson for his ability to create championship chemistry on teams with great players, calling it "probably the toughest thing in the NBA to do."
He said the Suns weren't going to get drawn into what they consider Jackson's psychological ploy.
"How can we win that?" Gentry said. "We're not going to win that battle anyway."
But the Phoenix coach added a jab at the Lakers when he was asked jokingly if the team worked on ball handling skills.
"We spent the day ducking elbows on post-ups, to see if we could duck elbows on post-ups, " Gentry said, a not-to-thinly veiled nod to the Lakers' style. "So it all works out, it all works out."
Amare Stoudemire probably spoke for the rest of the team with his reaction.
"Typical Phil," he said.
Information from ESPNLosAngeles.com's Brian Kamenetzky and The Associated Press contributed to this report.
Mission accomplished, Phil got what he wanted, a response. And the Suns head coach gave it to him.

I'm sure Phil did it to get in their head. Not to get a smarky/passive response

Any response or mention of his comment, just shows you that he got to them, therefore responding.

of course i love the sportsmanship no doubt...i enjoy when teams shake hands after a highly competitive series especially when rivals do it cause at the end of the day its repecting your opposition and theres more to life than just the game itself........................................
unlike what mr. james did or didnt do after the orlando series
no it wouldnt be nice for me to see an upset
