Lakers @ Suns Tuesday game thread

[Evil Ash]

The suns just did not have the rim protection to compete with the Lakers. They are a very big team.

Well we might have if someone didn't take something they shouldn't have

 

[Mainstreet]

Agreed although 1sun will somehow blame the loss on him

I'm waiting for it.

 

[Evil Ash]

Disappointed in the result, but proud of the way they competed, particularly with Oubre, Bridges and Tyler Johnson being no-shows, and Cam Johnson being...well, Cam Johnson.

Saric had his best offensive game as a Sun by far, and Kaminsky wasn't far behind, but unfortunately neither still can defend.

Get Ayton back and get at least 1 power forward, and this team is in business.

Hat's off to Monty...again. He has them looking like a legitimate NBA team.

Ha, called it

I watched the Lakers more then every team out there this season. Lebron is showing his age. He didn’t take the night off, he just can’t consistently do what he did five years ago, night in and night out. Don’t get me wrong he is still great, he gets his numbers but I’m sure it’s not sustainable. Two things will happen either he will go down with a injury or he will have to back off the pedal and pace himself.

im sure he will have low periods as an older player. But they are a lock to make the playoffs and they will turn it on when needed.

Cam Johnson wasn't the reason they lost, but outside of two games, he has given them nothing.

 

[1Sun]

Too many offensive rebounds by the Lakers at key times in the game.

We need a power forward who can get more than 2 inches off the ground...

 

[Proximo]

I feel ok with this loss.

With ayton I am confident we can beat this team.

we only got out rebounded by 5.

Ayton will make the difference.

Oh, I’m not debating that, there going to be one or two seed easy. I just don’t know about that turn it on part at the end of the season.

but let’s play the season and see, just going off what I am seeing.

 

[Evil Ash]

You mean a rookie that missed part of the preseason and some regular season games is taking some time to adjust to the nba? You don't say

Why mention him at all?

 

[1Sun]

We need another power forward as well, but bring back Ayton and get a legitimate power forward, and I think we can beat anyone.

 

[Proximo]

if you can’t see he is gaining confidence, and improving every game you are blind.

 

[1Sun]

Because the guy we SHOULD have taken there already looks like an all-star power forward and would give this team exactly what it needs right now.

 

[1Sun]

This game was significantly worse than his last game.

 

[1Sun]

Ayton will make the difference.

Not without a legitimate power forward next to him.

 

[Proximo]

We need another power forward as well, but bring back Ayton and get a legitimate power forward, and I think we can beat anyone.

If we get what we got out of Dario and frank tonight on a regular basis we are more than fine at power forward.

Are you going to the hall of fame induction for Michael Carter-Williams? He may be a good player or he may be a stat stuffer on a bad team

 

[1Sun]

Scoring wise, certainly, but defense and rebounding are nonexistent.

Clarke's PER is higher than Devin Booker's. Enough said.

 

[Proximo]

they had 16 rebounds, and the defense was fine.

I think you just want to complain.

 

[RockinDaMike]

Kinda hoping Booker relied on his shot rather than driving to the hole and meeting all the trees in the lane.

Tried too much to muscle Caruso and got himself into foul trouble. Shake the dude and shoot over him

How does that disprove my point?

You're not even trying to hide the fact you are a troll

 

[SirStefan32]

It was disappointing to see the Suns play such crappy defense. They managed to hang in there most of the game, but it just wasn't enough. Move on and play defense in the next game.

 

[Bufalay]

Cam Johnson wasn't the reason they lost, but outside of two games, he has given them nothing.

He’s shooting 40% on threes and 48% overall. How many games should we throw out to calculate his real percentages?
