Please no more of bridges

Perhaps you cover Knecht

I like how Bud is letting the youngsters run. Need to see what they do with the game on the line. This is what preseason is for.

Pretty sure that won't be a thing after tonight

 

[Hoop Head]

Gillepsie is a stud. He might be my favorite youngster.

 

[Mainstreet]

Gillespie three pulls the Suns within 1.

 

[Chaplin]

Frustrating seeing Bol not roll.

 

[95pro]

Haha they don’t want to pass to bronny

Gillespie recognized this and played him physical.

 

[Mainstreet]

That should have been Suns ball.

 

[95pro]

Duh bridges he’s going to shoot it.

 

[Hoop Head]

Duh bridges he’s going to shoot it.

Bridges is bad.

 

[95pro]

Ty ty and bridges are low iq guys

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Tragic

 

[Mainstreet]

Final / OT:

Lakers 128 - Suns 122

 

[Hoop Head]

The issue with Bol, offense and especially defense, he only plays the ball. He needs to learn to play more structured. He's all playground.

 

[95pro]

Ty Ty and bridges didn’t secure the misses there

I don’t think so. With this group Bud should make Gillespie or Bol the go to guys. Should have let them cook.

This whole group didn’t play as a team towards the end.

 

[Mainstreet]

Some final overtime stats.

Tell me how the Lakers got the best shooter in the draft?

 

[Covert Rain]

I liked much of what happened for most of the game. I don’t really care about how the very end of the bench played.

 

[Mainstreet]

Knecht and AD both had 35 points for the Lakers.

 

[Chaplin]

Our downfall was Dunn fouling out and no Okogie. Just didn’t have the right defenders out there. End of the bench just isn’t that good, no surprise there.

The Lakers have good scouts. Reaves was a steal as an UDFA.

That's fine offensively in this circumstance but that late and 1 was a prime example of him flying for a ball he couldn't get so his man had a free lane. It reminds of Oubre on D, he doesn't play his man. He'll never be the primary offensive guy out there in the regular season. He needs to play in the system.
