I’m just going to be p’d off about the ticky tack fouls Little will draw on Lebron.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Hmm. White this late in the year???

They saw Kyler's elite outfit and wanted to copy it for the road win

Bucks are winning this tourament.

 

[Mainstreet]

Look here is the hard truth - this team has by far the best chance we have of competing for the next decade.

If we can't beat a likely 7 or 8 seed in a 1 game elimination game that is an enormous RED FLAG and points to a decade of disappointment and despair for Suns fans. Yes I understand we don't have Beal and we aren't in top shape yet - but this is the Lakers not the Nuggets, that is not a legit excuse.

I know I sound dramatic - but I think this is the hard truth, because if anything we may not be even this healthy come playoff time.

I don't think you are giving the Lakers enough credit.

They made it to the Western Conference Finals last season and an argument could be made they are a better team this season.

 

[Mainstreet]

Bradley Beal is looking good in a pregame workout.

Man that Laker court is REALLY yellow.

 

[Mainstreet]

Tip-off.

 

[Proximo]

Shaq says lakers by15.

damn I want to kill this team tonight.

 

[BirdGangThing]

Blunt rolled and ready to go f*** LA

 

[Mainstreet]

Durant scores on a short jumper. Lakers lead 3-2.

 

[Mainstreet]

Nothing but net for Booker.

 

[Chaplin]

That court is atrocious.

 

[Yuma]

KD was a photo sports question on Jeopardy tonight from back in his college photo. He was REALLY skinny in college!

 

[BirdGangThing]

Looks like Nurk's doing the distribution from the top of the key thing again tonight - usually when he has a lot of assists

 

[Vacard]

WIN or go home, let's get it. Like the start so far.

 

[Mainstreet]

Booker cleans up a miss. Game tied at 11.

 

[BirdGangThing]

Book verbally yelling at the ref for not calling the foul he just called on the other end of the floor

 

[BirdGangThing]

Both teams starting out pretty cold - Suns playing their traditional sloppy ball

 

[Yuma]

Lakers energy on both ends of the court taking Suns out of their game.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns already have 5 turnovers.

Lakers lead 16-11.

 

[Proximo]

Turnovers are ridiculous.

 

[95pro]

Booker tried to facilitate too much early. Had some open looks.

Refs already calling crap. Book hit on one end and no call. Meanwhile AD gets to the line.

 

[BirdGangThing]

Could really use a hot Eric Gordon tonight
