Suns @ Lakers 

Post#1 » by Ball so hard » Fri Oct 27, 2023 2:46 am

First time starting a thread. Forum has been pretty quiet for a while.

Anyway… is it too early to panic? This team doesn’t look good.

I’m already tired of Ham. Was never a fan of this guy.

I’m very surprised by how terrible our rebounding has been. On another note, Gabe plays fake defense.

Are we sure Gabe is a better shooter than Schröder?

Seriously can Gabe make a shot? Defensively he’s been good but offensively, my god. Him and Rui.

AD’s been fine. We have to start making wide open shots.

PS: really don’t understand the Rui minutes.

Reddish is a really poor shooter, but we already knew that before we signed him. I have no idea why he’s playing over Max Christie.

Darvin scam just throws out lineups and prays
Warspite:

Prince + filler for Kobe Bryant
To be honest the way Prince has played and with Kobes injury/age/mileage Im not sure I would do that deal either. Still Prince is more important and he wins the head to head battles with Kobe.

And Max Christie, or the lack thereof.

We have to bring a more serious effort to these games. Lineups, energy level, etc.

I really thought this wouldn’t be an issue with our team this year..

But 5 three point makes through 3 quarters cannot happen. It’s 2023 not 2003.

Annoying game but there’s a legit lid on the hoop. And honestly, they probably deserve it for barely competing for most of the game.

Love the aggressiveness AD.

You would think Rob would have learned his lesson after taking a chance on Nunn, but it’s like buying magic beans from Riley and Spoelstra.
From Tyler Johnson, Josh Richardson, Whiteside etc etc, these guys just looked great with Erik’s system. I hope I’m wrong though.

Alright Darvin, you got lucky tonight but let’s get serious with the rotations.

- D-Lo, Reaves, Prince, LeBron and AD starting
- Rui 26-30 minutes
- Vincent 22-25 minutes
- Wood 20-25 minutes
- Christie 18-22 minutes

Reddish, Hayes will have lots of opportunities throughout the season to get time and build their confidence.
