Game 68: Phoenix Suns (31-36) @ LA Lakers (40-25) | Mar 16 | 12:30 PM

[Saberestar]

On the road against a hyped Doncic, is gonna be tough but I like our chances for this one.

It's gonna be fun to see Dunn as a Doncic's primary defender. Hopefully he can stay out of foul trouble, easier said than done.

With LeBron out we have a nice opportunity.



Injuries:

Suns
Grayson Allen OUT.

Lakers
Dorian Finney-Smith QUESTIONABLE.
LeBron James OUT.
Rui Hachimura OUT.
Gabe Vincent QUESTIONABLE.

Last regular season game in EU friendly time so hope it's a good one, most importantly a win. Somehow feeling better about this one with Luka playing as that gives extra motivation to Booker and KD. Hopefully Dunn is still starting with Richards back at C, not sure what was Bud's motivation to put him in SL for last game, but obviously Suns don't have a better player to defend Doncic.

As a warmup for this game is DAL - PHI. If Mavs lose and Suns win both of b2b games they become 10th I think.

I expect a Mavs win at home against a depleted Sixers, but hopefully I am wrong about it.

[Saberestar]

Finney-Smith and Gave Vincent AVAILABLE.

Yeah, I know only 3 of Sixers active players. Apparently they need to finish top 6 to preserve their pick so tanking hard. Looks like Suns will have to beat good teams to pass the Mavs and show they deserve to sneak into the play-in.

91-84 for the Sixers at the moment. Interesting 4th quarter.

[Saberestar]

Yes! The Sixers won @ Dallas, we can get pretty close to 10th already today.

[Saberestar]

Beal
Book
Dunn
KD
Richards

[sunsbg]

TOs from Booker and KD and zero rim protection, nothing new.

[schnakenpopanz]

turnover turnover turnover, sleepwalking stoned durant, snowflake booker, playing plumlee ove oso who played amazing. **** this team

[grumpysaddle]

20 million FTs for the Lakers and no one on the Suns can hit a wife open shot, let alone wide open 3s.

[schnakenpopanz]

have the suns even one play they run or is everything freelance?

[grumpysaddle]

Yes! The Sixers won @ Dallas, we can get pretty close to 10th already today.

Doubt it. Scheduled loss.

[schnakenpopanz]

lazy durant

[sunsbg]

Durant is high. Just had no idea who to defend and let Luka shoot open 3. Add TOs and bad shooting.

[schnakenpopanz]

i want to punch durant in the nuts for crippling this team and its future.

[schnakenpopanz]

do you feel that the suns player have fire or hunger to win?
this feels like a pre season game to me.

[grumpysaddle]

Did the entire team take Xanax before the game?

[schnakenpopanz]

airball you lazy ****

[grumpysaddle]

Oh look, Oso in and he gets a bucket at the rim.
