Game 54: Phoenix Suns (21-32) @ Los Angeles Lakers (39-12) - 10:30 PM ET

The Lakers haven't really gotten a lot more calls that could have gone either way than us. I expected it, but it's pretty even on fouls.

The big issue tonight has been rebounding. It doesn't matter what size you are, if you box out, you are either getting the board, or the opposing player with commit an over the back foul

26-52 lol Ayton would've been a massive equaliser in this respect

[bwgood77]

Anyone know Lecque's high in assists or 3s this season in the G league? I wonder if Jones signed him just because he was a great dunker.

I remember people saying that Okobo was the next Westbrook

Yeah, I was just looking at that. That is obviously the biggest difference, though they've shot better as well, but that's expected when Booker and Oubre are having these types of games. It's amazing we are about 38% from 3 with Booker 0-4 and Oubre 0-2.

People say a lot of things on this board.

That play by Leque is probably why he's not getting minutes. He was passed the ball, open at the corner 3. Instead of taking it, while the Laker was closing out, he runs away and takes an off balance 3. Low IQ / low XP decision

[grumpysaddle]

Lol. Dwight Howard is still in the game when the Suns are basically playing 4 PGs and a SF.

[hollywood6964]

Look at Jared Dudley, still eating.

[sunskerr]

Amazing how dudley still cashes a check. Dude must have some crazy dirt on some nba gms.

IDK whats wrong with Rubio but lets be honest hes been trash and currently is trash.

This is his prime? lul

I hate making excuses but it's been impossible to have any rhythm this season with the suspension and injuries. Rubio has still been very good but he's not elite. He's a very good floor general. He'll never been what Nash was, simply because he can't shoot

In what way has he been “very good”? He’s been well below average at the PG position for almost 2 months.

Your buddies at the bar? Or maybe you dreamt it? Because no one said that here.

[King4Day]

Why is Howard still playing? Do they not have a bench player who needs minutes? Even if they aren't tall. It's not like we have anyone out there who is a threat.

lol
I have his Bobcats jersey. I will cherish it forever <3

He's been decent after starting off very well. He has had some bad shooting nights but so have everyone, and we knew he wasn't a shooter when we signed him. He has definitely made more 3s than I expected.

[grumpysaddle]

The Suns have way too many subpar backup PGs. Would be cool if they had any depth at all in the frontcourt.

He has that Boris Diaw physique

[Frank Lee]

Boy I really miss 09-10 season. Its tough being a Suns fan these days SMH

Its like a damn vice I can't shake,

except I mostly enjoy my vices.

Have you watched this team without him? When the team is relatively healthy, he has helped keep things fluid.

[King4Day]

LeQue, at the end, had another off balance jumper. Hopefully that's something the coaching staff can get out of his system. It's a bad habit and he'll never find success if that's his go-to move

worse. O-show
