Preseason: Suns @ Lakers Thursday game thread, 10-19-2023

Even the Lakers announcers thought that foul on Okogie was going to get overturned.

 

[Proximo]

Honestly, this first half is an L for the Lakers. Struggling to hold us off with arguably our 1st and 3rd best player out.

We are the better team.

 

[Mainstreet]

Some halftime stats. Kevin Durant has 21 points.

Maybe. Keon is probably auditioning for a chance to stick around. Imagine this shows that he is the one they are thinking about cutting.

Nah it’s going to be lee or Bol.

How is that a foul on Okogie...

Reeves illegal screen pushed Josh into LJ's direction, but Josh fully controlled his body to not touch LJ, only contact maybe occurred with LJ's out-kicking leg side ways long after the release. Should reverse the call to Reeves foul, or no call. The other foul on JO barely breathing Anthony's head at the dunk was also non sense.
Anyways, Allen often loses the 3pt touch under tight pressure, only Eric Gordon is reliable in such situation. Little can be a solid rotation player. Reeves is dirty, with all kind of subtle moves to cheat refs into favorable calls.

 

[Mainstreet]

Durant is not starting the 2nd half.

 

[Chaplin]

For as bad as we’ve played I’m ok with this score. With Book and Beal out and the Lakers top 4 playing, I’d say we’re looking good.

Nurk is a fouling machine so far in preseason.

 

[BirdGangThing]

Nurk with 4 fouls and 10 minutes left in the 3rd quarter

 

[Mainstreet]

Okogie leans in and banks the shot home and is fouled.

 

[BirdGangThing]

Okogie smothered and covered Reeves like some waffle house hash browns

 

[Mainstreet]

Goodwin shows he can hit the three.

 

[95pro]

Attack Nurk will be the theme for the season

 

[BirdGangThing]

This is why Vogel loves Okogie

 

[Mainstreet]

Little slashing to the hoop for two.

 

[95pro]

AD beeching and moaning

 

[BirdGangThing]

AD with 4 now as well - if both he and Nurk ride the pine due to foul trouble - advantage Suns

 

[Proximo]

Eh, I think we are playing pretty bad.

dont believe the laker hype they are basically an average team.

 

[Chaplin]

Well the NBA app is in regular season form. Ps5 app has crashed twice already and the appletv app kept glitching my sound bar.

 

[Proximo]

Nurk has been pretty bad in this game.

 

[CardsSunsDbacks]

Nurk has been pretty bad in this game.

AD is a horrible matchup for him. He does better against the more lumbering centers.

 

[BirdGangThing]

There you go Nurk

 

[Mainstreet]

Nurkic scores it this time and is fouled.

 

[Mainstreet]

I'm not sure why Allen is so hesitant to shoot.

 

[Chaplin]

I'm not sure why Allen is so hesitant to shoot.

His shot isn’t falling. So he’s trying to facilitate more. He should probably just keep shooting it though.
