I’m not very confident the Suns will take this one seriously, but unlike the Dubs, Grizz, and OKC the Lakers aren’t one of those teams that plays hard for entire games (remind you of your favorite team?) so I think I’ll chalk up a W here despite my better judgement. Monty better do something in-game to get their energy going if we come out playing the same way again. Anyone who isn’t busting their ass should get pulled and sat for the rest of the game, W or L be damned. I don’t subscribe to the idea that mailing in all these remaining games won’t have an effect on how we play in the playoffs or the confidence other teams will gain playing against us.
The last thing we need is for suns fans to panic regarding our team..they've proved time and time again how dominant they are and a two game losing streak should not cause us to panic. I dont think Suns have lost two straight games dating back to our bubble days.
Regular season wins are cute, but the ultimate goal is to be last team standing for a chance to win a championship. I'm just relieved Booker, Ayton, & Crowder got their much needed rest while CamJ & CP3 are integrated back into the lineup after missing dozens of games.
Now if we struggle in the first round by going 6/7 games against lowly 8th seed that makes sense, but for now the team is ahead of schedule and everyone should not panic and trust our team.
