I metioned the fouls before the game.

Odds on game are close despite suns streaking and lakers sucking. They know what’s up.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns are really a finesse team with three guards starting. Durant is not a banger and Nurkic is often a step slow.

 

[95pro]

Nurk straight up again. Foul again.

 

[Chaplin]

Has EG even touched the ball yet?

 

[BirdGangThing]

Wow look at that (lack of) offensive production tonight - talk about coming out flat

You must be registered for see images attach

 

[Mainstreet]

Nurkic now with three fouls. There goes the physical element.

 

[BirdGangThing]

Suns still creeping their way back in

 

[jbjarko]

KD looks pissed.

 

[Mainstreet]

Durant gets clobbered at the basket. The Lakers are roughing him up.

 

[BirdGangThing]

Now it's the Lakers that can't hit a shot

Now it's KD going to the line

 

[BirdGangThing]

Hopefully that sparks Book - he feeds off KD like that at times

 

[Chaplin]

Russell just stood there as KD went by.

 

[jbjarko]

These laker unis are ugly af.

 

[BirdGangThing]

Okay - Eric Gordon should've stayed home - and how is the guy who gets hit in the nuts the only guy in foul trouble

 

[Chaplin]

Goodwin is so much better than JO.

 

[Mainstreet]

Where is the rebounding and blocking out?

Part of it is a size issue.

 

[jbjarko]

Suns are the better team when the refs are calling a fair game.

 

[BirdGangThing]

How many freakin 3s are we gonna give them

We knew rebounding was going to be an issue - it was last time

We need to find a way to still be big when Nurk is off the court

 

[Dback Jon]

Durant gets clobbered at the basket. The Lakers are roughing him up.

He got hit in the face, and that should’ve been a flagrant foul with no call

 

[95pro]

Book back in. 3 min left in the half.

 

[jbjarko]

I still think they can catch up.

These TO’s are crazy.

 

[BirdGangThing]

We have no size inside

 

[JosiahLee]

The Phoenix Turnovers are keeping LA in the drivers seat.

This team lacks toughness and assertiveness…the passes are weak, the physicality is weak. It gets old. I know it’s early but they don’t look like a team built for the playoffs.

 

[jbjarko]

Holy hell can we get a shot to drop.
