1st time in memory that i consciously decided to skip a game while i was able to watch it if i wanted to. someone up there's looking out for me.

or we lost cuz you werent watching and this is all your fault

dock once called me out for switching off on a Clippers game.

sounds like a deepish thing to do.

I don't know if this is some Nash karmic blow-back, but the suns sure have had the Lakers number this year... wowza.

Spoiler:

LOL

It had to be someone . No one gets through a season without "that team" who is the thorn in the side. Kinda hilarious it's the Suns.

like it or not we probably need to play ebanks/duhon/morris/sacre. give them 5-7 mins just to lessen the load for our main guys. right now we're running 7 men rotation with kobe out. and we have more than 10 games left for the rest of the season. we're also an old team and we're a lil banged up. we'll be gassed when the playoffs come or worse we can get another injury.

At least if the Lakers made the playoffs, we don't need to worry about back to back games like last year's awful playoff schedule.

You do know the Lakers have 3 days of rest before their next game? At that point Kobe and Pau should be back (Monday latest). So they will have a 9 man rotation and no need to play the types of players that helped dig the team in a big hole in the first place. Keeping the rotation tight is one of the main reasons they have been playing better.

had no idea that steve albert called suns games, I recognized him from showtime boxing, apparently the guy is the brother of marv albert, and his other brother is a broadcaster too. Plus his nephew is kenny albert, marv's son, who's also a broadcaster. god damn

[Slava]

I just realized there's only 13 games left. Playoff PUSH!!

[LApwnd]

that was a pathetic effort, b2b or not its like b2b vs. elite playoff team. Freaking horrible execution on D, offensively they just missed alot of open shots and typical TO prone as always.

Nash's efficiency was horrible this game. A lot of his shots just rimmed out but still. Nash had a kobe inefficient type game. Credit pheonix for denying him the ball when he was hot early.

I was the press ... Nsh can't handle pressure or traps, its why he has been bothered by Lawson, Conley, Westbrook, Cole, Paul, Bledsoe ... They just ress him when he has the ball and let him run pnr and trap him which forces him to throw a bad pass or try to escape 27 feet out. Case in point there were 19 times in the Memohis game where Conley had him crossing half court at 17

He's lost that step, which is why Kobe must handle the ball vs the top west teams and Miami

Dwight got owned by Haddadi and JO, let's not forget about that. We also really need a more reliable shooter next year, Metta needs to be benched or amnestied. Teams realized that they just force the Lakers to pass it to him and make him shoot inconsistent jumpers. I would recommend Dorrell Wright (37% 3pt this year, long and athletic also), earning I think around 4 mil this year, maybe we can get him for the MMLE...
