Suns' Gentry picks Lakers

PHOENIX -- Here's some of what Phoenix coach Alvin Gentry said about the Lakers: "There's a lot of talk about that team in South Beach. (The Lakers) are flying right there under the radar. ... Those guys in the locker room over there, they love that challenge," he said. "It gives them something to be focused in on for this year. Rather than just repeating, I think they feel like they're underdogs. I don't know why when you've been to the finals the last three years and won two (titles). I still think they're the team to beat."
