text: how come lalakers lost to phoenix suns eventhough they had bryant,odom,brown,etc.? bryant scored 51 pts.maybe the lakers did'nt have co-ordination compared to phoenix but 51 points??? the suns are a great team team. they make great plays and work well together, unlike the lakers who depend on a few people only. basketball is a team sport. plus, suns are a better team then the lakers.
