Such a decrease in physicality from Clipps to Lakers (so far). I think that seriously helps the offense. LAL just doesnt have the perimeter defenders LAC does

Hard to not get excited with Dunn. I think I want to see about 20 games of his 3 ball before I start getting too excited. It's great stuff so far though.

Knecht is a nice piece for the Lakers.

His shot blocking is crazy


Out defense looks so good with the dunn/oneal forward duo out there.


It's a thing of beauty. Pure joy for me seeing that given the defensive lineups we rolled out last season

Insane the defense the Lakers are getting away with while going to the line 12 times themselves

He's got a pretty nice arc on his shot. If only Shamet had figured out that's how you get friendly bounces
SHAZAM!

Suns traded Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder and 4 1st round picks and a swap so some Vegas Bookies would like us.

Nurkic hurting us this quarter making lousy passes and playing weak D on Davis.

Bad lineup and Nurkic needs to watch his gym videos

We needed a nice scoring surge in the 2nd half. Feels like we aren’t trying hard enough and allowing LA back in the game.

Put Plumlee in for Nurk he’s hurting us this quarter.
