It's nearing game time.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns off to slow start and trail 7-0.

 

[Mainstreet]

Bridges hits a 3 for Suns first field goal.

 

[Mainstreet]

Two fouls on Ayton spells trouble.

Suns trail 11-4.

 

[Finito]

This damn game on NBA TV again

 

[Proximo]

James jones refusal to get us another big is going to be this teams undoing.

 

[Evil Ash]

Just zero energy. This feels like one of those let down games

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns picked a bad game to be ice cold from the field (2-10).

Anthony Davis is dominating.

 

[Proximo]

This is pathetic.

Lakers sending a message.

 

[Evil Ash]

This is pathetic.

Lakers sending a message.

So are the suns ... they don't care.

Zero movement without the ball and are happy shooting bad jump shots against a good defensive team

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns didn't come out ready to play. Payne showing the most energy for the Suns.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns look so out of sync.

 

[Mainstreet]

Booker was fouled on the upper shoulder and arm.

James jones refusal to get us another big is going to be this teams undoing.

Really? Would another big improve the shooting of Booker, Cam Johnson and Crowder?
Would another big make the team a better defensive team... especially defending the three??

 

[Mainstreet]

End of 1st quarter:

Lakers 30 - Suns 19

i didn’t say it was our only problem, but it is a huge problem.

we have nobody who can guard Davis.

It would give the Suns another option at the 4/5. Drummond, Gasol and Davis are a heavy load upfront.

 

[Finito]

yeah neither does the rest of the NBA. He’s been hurt so out of sight out of mind but he’s special.

 

[Mainstreet]

Anthony Davis towers over the Suns players.

 

[Finito]

I know we are the number 1 seed but I feel we are probably around 3-5 range when it comes to the best teams in the west. Both LA teams beat us in the playoffs I think I can call that, then Denver but after that I think it’s us.

remember this is a process nobody on earth thought we would be in this position this year. I think we’re playing with house money.

 

[Mainstreet]

That was a goal tend on Crowder's shot. The referees with some bad calls.

 

[Beaver]

Not looking forward to getting jobbed by the refs playing against LAL in the first round.

 

[Cheesebeef]

This is the team a couple of you WANT to play?

Careful what you wish for guys. This is the worst possible matchup for us. Losing tonight might not be the worst thing in the long run if it means the Lakers get the 6 seed.
