Lonzo flopping

 

[Mainstreet]

Sweet shot from Ulis.

 

[Mainstreet]

A fight has broken out.

I think Pope gave the first hard shove on Ulis then everyone gets involved.

Technicals on Pope, Ulis and Jackson.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Anyone else hear "Heartbreak Hotel" when a three goes in and then bounces out? Such an honor to get to hear Al McCoy in my life.

 

[Folster]

Len just can't finish when he's under the rim.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Josh Jackson wants to fight for sure

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Len just can't finish when he's under the rim.

Man he has dominated under the rim tonight.

 

[Russ Smith]

Josh Jackson wants to fight for sure

He shoved the ref twice he's going to get thrown out I imagine

 

[Mainstreet]

Len is the man tonight underneath.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Ulis is a Little Baller Brand

 

[Mainstreet]

Wow. Len.

 

[Mainstreet]

Ulis has 14 points and 7 assists. He is playing tough as nails.

 

[Mainstreet]

Final:

Suns 122 - Lakers 113

It feels so good to beat the Lakers.

Good performance by the Suns tonight!

 

[Folster]

I think Bender should replace Chriss in the starting lineup.

 

[SirStefan32]

Bender needs to start, for sure. He has clearly outperformed Chriss.

Awesome win tonight!

 

[Russ Smith]

Ulis is a Little Baller Brand

I loved Ulis at Kentucky

 

[Evil Ash]

Wow. Len.

These past 2 games represent Len's career in a nutshell. One game he looks like he shouldn't even be in the G-league and the next he looks starter caliber.

 

[Carolinacacti]

We all know a loss would have helped but against the Lakers we take it. Chicago won so did the Nets. 28 assist for the Suns.

No doubt. His career thus far has been a tease.

 

[ProdigalSun]

I wonder if Ball feels embarrassed by how much better Kuzma looks so far

 

[Hoop Head]

Really paying attention to who has the worst record in the league this early in the year?

A win against LA is always good, a win in LA is great, and this was needed so we can tie the season series when we play them again in February. After getting embarrassed last night on national TV they needed this win.

 

[Hoop Head]

Monroe was the only Sun was a negative +/- at -10. He had the 2nd best +/-'s last night though at just -2, Chriss was at 0 last night but was limited to 16 minutes because of fouls.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

I always want to beat the Lakers. Beating Lakers > Tanking

 

[hsandhu]

Seriously, a year a half ago I thought this was what len could be. And he's been awful since then, i didn't even think he belonged in the nba during the houston game.

What the hell happened tonight, can he actually play like that more than once every several months? I only saw that 4th, but it looked like they were running some new stuff, and when booker got trapped on the pick he would get it to ulis who got it to a cutting len.

Booker draws so much attention, hopefully they found something going forward to take advantage of it.

 

[GatorAZ]

Len does this once in a while. Nothing to see here.
