We know the Los Angeles Lakers won't officially be the Phoenix Suns opponent in the next round of the NBA playoffs until they beat the Utah Jazz one more time -- which will likely happen tonight -- but, if history tells us anything, the Suns playing against Kobe Bryant and friends seems to be a certainty this post-season.

The Lakers are up 3-0 on the Jazz, and never before in NBA history has a team come from down three games to win a playoff series.

After finishing a sweep of the hated San Antonio Spurs last night, we want to know what you think: Can the Suns reach a similar outcome with the Lakers, despite being outsized?

Let us know what you think -- and see the results of Friday's poll -- after the jump.

Friday's poll question: Is Jan Brewer's move to ditch photo-radar an act of political oportunism?

-23 percent say yes.

-70 percent say no.

-7 percent say Brewer has no chance of winning the November election, so who cares.
