Can't wait for this rivalry to come back!

This may be the last time you see some of these players repping purple and orange

Suns likely starters

Lakers likely starters

A couple favorite moments...

Good luck charm!

I wasn't aware that the Lakers forum has pretty much died. Holy crap.

Invite them in! That will be a test for the goodwill of our fan base for sure!

Huge tanking game. They should play knight 48 minutes tonight.

I'm usually all for the tank this year and I know in my head that it would be very smart to lose against the lakers, but my heart says, "**** the Lakers!"

Go Suns. Destroy them! I hope Booker goes for 50 tonight.

They just played last night, so I expect us to smash them. Booker with at least 50, I'm sure he'll tribute it to Kobe.

This is a must lose game in the tank standings but unfortunately the Lakers suck so much that this should be a very easy win for us. I expect the Suns to blow them out by 20 or more with Booker getting his first 40 point game.

It's kind of hard to believe the Lakers are still only #3 in the reverse standings. It's not mentioned much, but they'll also lose their 2019 1st round pick to the Magic if they finish #4 or "better".

They REALLY need to go on a losing tear soon.

I can't wait until the NBA finds a way to do the draft lottery better and/or change the rules for protecting future picks. For a sport that's doing most everything else right this tanking MO is messed up when viewed from a wide perspective. I know it's a different world, but can you imagine if the NFL had tanking or quasi-tanking like the NBA? Say 6 or 8+ NFL teams not really trying to win the last few weeks of the season. The playoff chase could turn into a mockery if the schedule lined up a couple of these tanking teams for some lucky playoff pursuing teams.

Hello #6 pick

I'm looking forward to a Chandler vs Randle face to face possession.

Still remember the last time he chickened out when everyone left the lane free and Chandler invited him in. He passed the ball away for a 3 pointer and talked smack, pretending to be tough.

Some other healthcare people as well. At least some of them think its a bad thing to encourage for culture sake.

LA isnt going to lose his pick this year

McD knew it from day 1.

Too bad he dialed that pick for our tank commander

Who has the brighter future?
