Don’t let the line fool you Lakers might be 13 point favorites but if Suns bench comes prepared and Shamet, Payne, Ross hirs their shots it will be game over for Fakers.

I'd love to see a Pain/Shame heavy offense tonight. Those 2 will be needed and relied on heavily in the playoffs and we need them to go back being Payne and Shamet. Okogie and Craig hitting their shots would also be great as they'll be needed as well.
Basically it'd be great for our scrubs to do to the Lakers what the Nuggets scrubs did to us the past 2 times.

As long as Biyombo block the crap outta Lebrons/AD’s shots I’ll be more than happy. He’s our little Surge Ibaka. Very handsome player with an outstanding reach.

I don't understand why we didn't sit starters last game instead of this one. it's a really good idea to beat the lakers to keep them out of 5th.

Pretty sure that's related to playing at home last night, a sign of respect to the fans.
We play on the road tonight and Monty will rest the big four. Then, to end the season on a high note at home we probably will play everyone against the Clippers.
It will Al McCoy's night too, so the last RS game is gonna be special.

Utter weak sauce to have the entire first unit sitting out. Yeah, I get the playoffs are upon us but people pay good money to see these guys on the floor and doing their thing.
And I'm not buying or accepting the injury excuse, especially seeing Durant injured himself during an unguarded layup. Injuries just happen and that's the risk you take.

Just play hard and compete so I can at least enjoy most of the game. Otherwise tell me now if Lakers going to blow Suns out by 25+.

If Agbaji, THT, Olynyk, Samanic and Azubuike forced the Lakers into overtime, I don't see why the Suns' clearly tougher second unit wouldn't do at least the same. The old, scrawny and poorly defending Lakers are the biggest joke in the entire League.

well to be fair, it's mostly Laker fans who bought the tickets. i dont care about their money as mucbSkyBill40 wrote:Utter weak sauce to have the entire first unit sitting out. Yeah, I get the playoffs are upon us but people pay good money to see these guys on the floor and doing their thing.

Bizzy taking Davis's lunch right now.
SHAZAM!
Suns traded Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder and 4 1st round picks and a swap so some Vegas Bookies would like us.

Monty has his faults for sure but he deserves a crap ton of credit of instilling the culture of ball movement within the Suns.
Even the end of bench guys all know how to play and at least make the effort to make the right pass. That’s all on Monty and the coaching staff and what they work on in practices.

The way Okogie contorts his body when attempting a tough layup is so Derrick Rose like. I’m telling you right now Okogie is a hard working horse with time and patience he can be become a 16-17 ppg scorer with on decent efficiency with top 25-30 defender in the league.

Disgraceful tank job by the Mavs, I really wanted them in the playoffs. Justice in all of this would be them getting #11< and giving that up.
Starting to think that they'll lose KY.....and that he might slither his way to the desert (shivers). I just know that Ish will be swayed and JJ probably likes since Bron does. KD would have no problem with it either. Booker, I'm sure looks up to KY too.
Stay away from my Suns.

In Monty’s system you don’t have to overdo anything just play within the system and you will succeed. Other teams are good but struggle to build chemistry and play team basketball. Monty deserved respect for building a certain culture. No Monty in 21 means no Paul, no KD but a new coach working wonders with Book, DA, Mikal..
