As we approach the Western Conference Finals both the Phoenix Suns and Los Angeles Lakers are looking in good shape. The Suns beat the San Antonio Spurs to win their place in the finals while the Lakers beat Utah Jazz. Now they are due to come together in what promises to be a hot NBA Playoff match.

Previously throughout the season the two teams have already played each other four times. Out of those four matches it was The Lakers that were triumphant. Most of this was thanks to Lakers star Kobe Bryant who scored over twenty points alone. It was really only The Suns player Raja Bell that managed to put the spooks on Bryant, however that still wasn’t enough to stop The Lakes from winning.
Players to look for in the whole “Lakers Sun” showdown are Amare Stoudemire, Jason Richardson and Steve Nash. All of these players look set to make the NBA Finals an interesting game to take part in.
Both teams have similar styles in that they are comfortable in playing fast paced basketball. This is something that The Suns have always professed to be experts in, however The Lakers show to be just as good as this.
Although it is likely to be a close match and it is hard to call who will win because of past results it really is The Lakers that are odds on favourite to win. The games are coming up shortly and the sporting world is waiting for baited breath to see what will happen.
