Re: Lakers @ Suns
Need this to be a statement win with all the losses lately. Home game after long rest to a reeling Lakers team that’s lost a few in a row, it’s a great opportunity if Suns don’t squander it.

Re: Lakers @ Suns
Right? Somebody's slipping.
And we're playing like trash and chucking like we must. I guess we're keeping it close for now, so there's that. We have to get this tonight.

Re: Game 17: Lakers @ Suns
Would be nice if we can blow these turds out of the water. Just cause KD is back doesn't mean it needs to be a clutch win.

Re: Game 17: Lakers @ Suns
Good end to the quarter. Maybe Grayson's shot is coming back. I'd like to see Booker be aggressive looking for his shot now that he can't be double and triple teamed every possession.

Re: Game 17: Lakers @ Suns
Our offense looks good but defense is so bad. I feel bad for Nurkic and Plumlee on defense because their doing the job well and rotating correctly so far however the third defender doesn’t help them so their man (AD) always gets a wide open layup from it.
The wing players need to “help the helper” instead of just standing around.

Defense has been quite bad the last couple weeks

That was a ridiculous 3 seconds call on Oso. H was an arms length from his man. Wtf.

Like the Lakers needed another annoying white dude that gets unearned trips to the FT line.

Changing the call to a foul because of incidental contact on the HAND of AD is CRAZY

That was a dumb challenge, not worth it especially if we end up needing that later.

Pretty sure you get one for each half now. We do lose a timeout though.

So they can’t call a foul on Vincent on that challenge?
