Game thread...

AD is actually not playing very well on D, but they are turning it over a bunch and Dlo is looking good.

10 turnovers in the first quarter for Phoenix.

Thats why you should employ a PG or some ball handlers.

dude Ham drives me nuts with not feeling the momentum, calling timeouts and swapping dud lineups out.

With all their turnovers and us taking 18 more shots at the half, we should be up a lot more than 12.

We have to come out and execute very well on offense in the beginning of the second half.

Let’s go!!!

Offense is really sputtering this half.
And defense doesn’t look much better.

This is garbage basketball by the Lakers this quarter.
This better turn around soon

For f#%^ sake, fix the lineups based on who sucks tonight, Ham.

Vanderbilt is kicking ass and taking numbers. Start him. He stabilizes our defense. Hire him a shooting coach.

Love how Vando is defending KD

AD misses a point blank lay up in a one point game in the 4th

Unbelievable

Yeah. Weird how he goes in and out of focus.

I dig how fiercely we defend the paint. Nothing is for free down low.

LBJ is unreal.
What he is doing at this age is beyond comprehension.

Glad we got this win. Young guys need to learn how to play at this high intensity
But dayyuum, every time this coach calls a time out and diagrams a play, the defense easily figures out his schemes and play design. Maybe he needs to go to YouTube and learn some better inbound plays

Not sure if everyone noticed a pattern here. On 4th quarters, they slow the pace down, Ham usually benches D’Lo while James play the point and surrounding him with able defenders like Prince, Reddish, AD and Reaves.

Vando stood out together with AD and Reaves as our clear leaders on defense. Reddish is starting to play intense defense, too.

Vando plays hard! Opponents can’t stand it. It sets the tone for the entire team. He’s this teams’s Ariza / Artest disruptor type role player. Start him!

We are a contender if we stay healthy.

Im kinda curious why we are consistently able to beat Vogel's Suns this year?

They can’t defend the pick n roll. Plus, they are undersized down low. Bad combo. Offensively, as we know, Vogel is even less creative than Ham.
