Even without Kam Payne and Ayton, Suns still beating the Lakers in Staples. Incredible.

Does AD want to be the focal point?
Guess that's a fair question
But why did they give him that contract if he/they don't. They expect LeBron to carry until his midforties?

Re: Thursday 10/26 NBA Game Thread
I know you can probably say this about any player but Rui clearly doesn’t have that desire to be the best he can be.
If he did, he would be out in the gym shooting a thousand corner threes every day.
He has a decent form and they should go in but he often sprays them any which way.
If your first team gives up on you and you are left trying to establish a role for yourself, you work your ass off for it.
So frustrating because he should be a guy you can give in the high post for buckets, ala Lamarcus Aldridge, he is a decent passer and being able to add a consistent 3 would make him valuable.
As it is, he is looking like just another guy.

He's lucky he can shoot because he decline would look much worst if he couldn't shoot.
He had no lift and couldn’t create 2 years ago , what’s so new and surprising?

If LeBron continues to only take 8 shots and does this mins restriction thing the Lakers will suck. Clearly AD doesn’t want to be the guy.

Why can't AD get position like that on every trip down the floor?

It’s just rinse and repeat. Why is this so hard for him to do?

I knew he was a chucker I never realize how bad his shot selection was. Dude takes nothing but 35+ft threes.
And that last play, made no effort to go for the loose ball and didn't even pretend to get back and defend the layup. Think I'd rather have Shamet

These games go on forever. I swear the timeouts are longer and the league is trying to bring in more ad revenue with more stops.
I’ve grown a beard from nothing since this game started.
It’s becoming so painful and too time consuming to watch these live.
Going to have to watch them later with no breaks. :/
