Suns @ Lakers 1-27-18

[Mainstreet]

Pregame, I'm watching video of former Suns players who can dunk the ball.

I think Larry Nance was the best as he could glide in there like a gazelle to dunk the ball.

One gets the impression that Nance could soar even higher if he wanted too.

Ryan Anderson is active working out with the Suns and cheering the team on from the bench.

The Suns could have used him the other night against the Nuggets. I haven't heard a reason why he doesn't play when the Suns are short handed.

 

[Mainstreet]

With a lot of the players from both teams being out with injury, it should be fun game to watch.

 

[Mainstreet]

Here are the starters for both teams.

I take it back, I'm not sure I'd give us the advantage. It's a winnable game for either team. We have the talent edge I believe but it's still mostly our kids versus veterans.

Bender follows up a Booker miss for the Suns first basket.

 

[BC867]

8-2 Laker start. The Suns cannot do anything in the paint.

I'm giving the Lakers the edge because of their veterans plus the way the Suns have played of late.

I'd like to get Zubac in the off season.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Lakers can score at will inside.

 

[AzStevenCal]

I'd like to get Zubac in the off season.

I think that boat might have sailed now that he's getting some good playing time. He's off the discount rack now and will likely be a key figure if the Lakers have to trade for their next star.

 

[Mainstreet]

Wow. Bridges is hot.

Probably. I've liked him since I first saw him play. I never could figure out why the Lakers didn't play him.

 

[Mainstreet]

Booker gets a prayer answered with that shot.

 

[BC867]

Holmes and Oubre entered the games and the Suns are back in it.

 

[AzStevenCal]

Booker gets a prayer answered with that shot.

He needed it, he's really struggling against the constant double team.

 

[Mainstreet]

End of 1st quarter:

Lakers 31 - Suns 27

 

[Mainstreet]

He needed it, he's really struggling against the constant double team.

He has struggled. He should be able to figure it out though.

 

[Mainstreet]

McGee has turned into a solid player.

 

[Mainstreet]

When Holmes is out of the game the Suns hurt.

He has two personal fouls.

 

[Folster]

No LeBron, Lonzo, or Kuzma and the Suns are still struggling.

 

[1Sun]

Holmes and Oubre entered the games and the Suns are back in it.

Why, oh why, won't Igor Kokoskov realize that Oubre needs to start?

 

[Mainstreet]

And Holmes gets his third personal foul.

 

[JerkFace]

Why are we still running the high screen with Booker if they are just going to hard double him every time off the high screen???

 

[Mainstreet]

Emmanuel Terry is now in the game.
