Good luck charm!!!

Without Davis and LeBron this match is a must.

#2 and #4 yes please

Must win for Suns, you have a really good chance to be 1st in WC

Lakers don't have the scoring power of a Minneosta, Charlotte, Washington so I feel more confident about this game.

More interested to see if Ayton or Bridges can take the next step offensively, love to see them take 20 shots one game.

This will be embarrassing if we lose this without Lebron and AD out there. Hope they come out focused and don't underestimate their opponent.

Hopefully the first game against Minnesota is fresh enough in their minds to not let them get lax. But the next couple weeks while both LeBron and AD are out should be an opportunity for us to get a little cushion in the Pacific division, especially considering we have a pretty easy run after this game:
@Miami
@Orlando
@Charlotte
V Atlanta
V Chicago
V OKC
@Houston

Then we get Utah and LAC on back to back nights.

If we win tonight and can go 8-2 in that stretch of 10 games, I think we'll have more or less sewn up the 2 seed barring a big time collapse. We'd be 36-15 heading into the final 21 games, which definitely bodes well for playoff seeding.

Yeah can't take any NBA game for granted. Heck I wouldn't really put that wolves totally in the category, that was just a two guys go crazy in the same game. Happens.

Damian Jones got cut so assume Gasol is starting.

Wow

Just thought of this how many players do the Lakers have for tonight could they end up with less than 8?

From my count without Jones they only have 8

No Bron, no AD. Cant lose this one.

Players can’t take them lightly because this team even without those guys is still probably better than Wizards, Kings, Pistons etc.

THT seems to play well against us. Kuzma’s gonna try and go off especially cause he’s boys with Booker. Schroder and Caruso can be difference makers.

Biggest difference will be if our front court can contain Harrell. We’ve been very bad lately at stopping bigs lately so this will be important imo.

Unless some out i am unaware of, Kuzma, Matthews, Morris, Shroder, Caruso, THT, KCP, McKinnie, Harrell, and maybe Gasol and i guess Giannis' brother is still on the team

This is a take no prisoner stomp down game. That locker room still has to be pizzed, well, all but one guy.

Suns -10 ... I’m on it.

Opposition has only won since January 28th when they score 122+

It's already been said but this is a game we need to take control of early and put them away. Don't play around. This team we're playing tonight has less talent than the Wolves

Schroder, Caldwell, Matthews, Kuzma, Morris
Caruso, Horton, McKinnie, Harrell

If we're serious we win by 30.

Some of these colors teams wear these days that have nothing to do with their regular colors are so strange. Lakers in white and baby blue? TWolves in flourescent green? Mavs in all green? I mean you could probably name 10 teams that have strange colored alternates..seems like the Lakers have a few of them too.
