Gonna roll this next blunt inside out - see if that helps

 

[Mainstreet]

Those 13 turnovers really hurt and 5 by Booker.

Thank you.

 

[jbjarko]

Clean it up PHX.

Can't hold onto the ball, can't rebound the ball, can't win the game.

 

[nashman]

They just need to get there crap together, rebound the ball and stop giving them 3-4-5 attempts when they miss it’s ridiculous. Like we are overthinking out there instead of playing the way we have been lately. Don’t let the refs bs and obvious Laker bias get under your skin and just play ball! Hate losing to these clowns but AD is a bad matchup for us especially when the refs want to assist them…

 

[Raindog]

Again, the same stuff that has plagued the Suns all season long so far - poor roster construction, poor ballhandling, lousy defensive approach, and just overall suspect coaching. You start to wonder if any of that is going to ever get straightened out this season.

 

[Chaplin]

1. Turnovers
2. Rebounding
3. Coaching

In that order.

 

[95pro]

We just got blitzed. Suns not ready for the moment.

 

[Mainstreet]

Can't hold onto the ball, can't rebound the ball, can't win the game.

Suns are also not creating turnovers. The Lakers only have 4 to the Suns 13.

 

[95pro]

Not feeling this Amanda lady.

 

[jbjarko]

I just don’t understand how basic things like turnovers and rebounding need to be a pressing issue for highly paid professional athletes.

 

[BirdGangThing]

Let's freakin go

 

[Mainstreet]

A good way to start the second half.

 

[BirdGangThing]

Hey we're running offensive sets!

 

[95pro]

KD brought the ball up. Those are some small adjustments we should be making. Changes their scheme.

 

[Chaplin]

Book is getting beat up.

 

[95pro]

Running through the Allen screen. Been happening all first quarter.

 

[BirdGangThing]

Okay - Mikey likey

 

[jbjarko]

This is much better basketball.

 

[95pro]

2pt game. Timeout.

 

[BirdGangThing]

LFG baby it's a new ball game sucks

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns cut the Lakers lead to 2 points just like that. Still 10:07 left in the third quarter.

Lakers were already booking their flights to Vegas
