Suns @ Lakers Tuesday game thread 3-2-2021

Good ball movement.

 

[outcent13]

You see way worse from players pretty regularly . Guarantee that call doesn’t go agains LeBron.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Absent of physical contact with a player or ref it doesn't exist in that time frame.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Did it look like he lost his temper to you? I know you want to support the integrity of the refs but come on Ouchie.

It’s not supporting the integrity of the refs. We just know Booker let’s his anger get the better of him. We see it often when he feels he didn’t get a call and then creates a stupid foul outta anger. He also gets his share of techs. It’s more likely than not that he said something stupid in a hot game than some ref has it out for him.

 

[jagu]

Big shot by Johnson. Needs to keep that going.

Nobody is saying he didn’t deserve the first T but I’m trying to figure out why it’s so easy for you to not support Book on such a questionable call.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

LOL it literally doesn't. I can't even think of the last time a player on a nationally televised game got two techs in 3 seconds for words.

Nationally televised game is meaningless. I get it, you guys think a ref has a conspiracy against Booker and the suns. Go crazy with that position.

 

[Chaplin]

he’s annoying as hell, but he’s still hell on wheels at this point. Pretty incredible how good he still is at 35.

The guy’s body is just unbelievable.

 

[jagu]

Great defense there by the Suns.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

This is the crux of what I am saying. I have never seen a player get 2 Techs in 3 seconds without physical contact to a player or official.

I am not even saying in the last decade. Like ever.

Its astounding.

 

[Cheesebeef]

So, Nader is now getting Frank’s minutes? I don’t understand some of these rotations.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

I agree.. it really sure how folks think Book lost his cool when LB does the same thing all game long complaining for fouls in every play. He’s worse than Harden.

There’s a difference between whining which is what Lebron does all game and saying something to get a tech.

 

[Mainstreet]

End of 3rd quarter:

Suns 86 - Lakers 83

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Nationally televised game is meaningless. I get it, you guys think a ref has a conspiracy against Booker and the suns. Go crazy with that position.

No I think a moderator / ref went on tilt and made a terrible call.

 

[Chaplin]

Ugh good defensive end to the quarter but I hope to forget about it in 20 seconds.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Monty lets the other team dictate the matchups. I think its one of his weaknesses

 

[TJ]

I don’t like Frank Kaminsky, but to go from starting him to not being in the rotation is pretty foolish

 

[jagu]

Without Booker the Suns aren't getting much penetration. Ball is spinning on the perimeter for the most part.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

The second T was almost certainly for the bounce.

It may have been. But that’s nothing more than conjecture unless you could clearly see his mouth and read his lips for that entire exchange.

 

[jagu]

That was the longest 3rd quarter I've ever watched.

 

[Chaplin]

Without Booker the Suns aren't getting much penetration. Ball is spinning on the perimeter for the most part.

Maybe that’s why Nader is in.

 

[Phrazbit]

Provide examples Ouchie. You are stating it happens ALL THE TIME. Give me one example in the last decade and you win

One T in that kinda spot happens on here and there. I cannot recall a player getting 2 Ts that close together without doing something absolutely crazy.

 

[Chaplin]

It may have been. But that’s nothing more than conjecture unless you could clearly see his mouth and read his lips for that entire exchange.

But what you are speculating is HIGHLY unlikely.

It happens all the time though

Agree. Frank could play minutes against jones or kieff
