[Chaplin]

Beal creates a lot of his own problems forcing plays that aren't there.

Are you referring to that amazing defensive play by the Suns ballboys?

The wet court?

I guess the Lakers get the benefit of calls inside, but not Phoenix.

Still cannot play defense

If the refs are going to not bail out guys flailing to the rim, which I support, then don't start doing it for the Lakers

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Jesus Booker hurts his ankle on a no call to the rim...

 

[Mainstreet]

Booker is coming back in the game after the timeout.

 

[clyde2tw]

Our PnRs are not well played. TJ's got blocked by Davis as Nurk didn't roll.

 

[Mainstreet]

KD flies in for am emphatic dunk.

 

[Mainstreet]

AD looks as good as I've seen him in awhile.

 

[Mainstreet]

Dunn hits his first shot tonight (1-4), a three.

 

[Mainstreet]

End of 3rd quarter:

Suns 90 - Lakers 82

 

[Mainstreet]

Bronny gets the ball first and then hits Beal's head. I didn't think that was a foul in the NBA.

 

[Mainstreet]

Oso with the hard slam.

 

[Mainstreet]

O'Neale with good defense on AD.

 

[clyde2tw]

Bronny gets the ball first and then hits Beal's head. I didn't think that was a foul in the NBA.

That's the same cylinder Bronny got the call for from KD block.

 

[Chaplin]

Poor kid. He obviously doesn't belong in the nba.
