NBA News- Battle of the Brooms Face Off In West Final

Two of the three most dominant teams in the NBA are set to meet in the Western Conference final Monday. The Los Angeles Lakers and Phoenix Suns will battle one another in what is certain to be an exciting series for NBA fans placing wagers on the series. Steve Nash and the Phoenix Suns proved in their series clinching 107-101 victory against the San Antonio Spurs on Saturday, is that past seasons woes should be forgotten, as the 2009-2010 Suns look to be the most dominant team Nash has played on. Kobe Bryant and the Lakers on the contrary simply continued to do what they do best, dismantle opponents, as they easily defeated the Utah Jazz Monday, 111-96. When betting online for this series, although both teams swept their second round opponents, the Lakers will still be the heavy favorite as they are the defending champions. Although the Lakers are highly favoured, fans wagering on basketball betting should know that the Suns have the ability to pull upsets.

In every game this season that Steve Nash and company were down in a game, they came back and won each game. As well, the most intriguing part of the series will be to see how well each teams supporting cast plays, as the Phoenix bench severely out played San Antonio’s bench leading to the four game sweep. While Kobe Bryant’s supporting cast of Paul Gasol, Andrew Bynum, Ron Artest, and Lamar Odom to name a few, easily won games against both the Thunder in the first round and the Jazz in the second round. Phoenix fans witnessed the emergence of backup point guard Goran Dragic, as he took over games three and four against the Spurs. If the Lakers hope to sweep the Suns like they did the Jazz, they will need to play a very tight disciplined defensive game, similar to the one administered against the Thunder.
