Suns @ Lakers Wednesday game thread 3-22-2023

[Mainstreet]

Shamet has 9 points already.

 

[Covert Rain]

Ross is so bad defensively.

Ross is so bad defensively.

Yeah, but he has company.

 

[Mainstreet]

Wainright and Lee are the two players that haven't played yet. I guess this is the concise rotation.

 

[AzStevenCal]

It's going to be tough to overcome a 19 to 4 FTA disadvantage if this continues.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns have already committed 19 fouls.

 

[Zobaczcie suki]

Craig and Ross for 3

 

[Mainstreet]

When they were handing out forwards, the Suns said they will pass.

 

[Covert Rain]

That’s why you can’t have Book as your main ball handler and I never want to see it as our main backcourt solution post Paul. That’s like the 3rd or 4th similar turnover in the past two games.

So much for the “not fouling”. We’ve doubled down even more. AD isn’t doing much and we’re still losing. Booker only has 4 shots. Someone else has to step up tonight.

Payne isn't doing anything and Paul has 3 fouls. Point guard depth is a problem.

Book with no one to pass the ball to that’s a threat to score. That was a sloppy turnover though. If Payne got back to being the good version that would free Book up a lot. He’s making the right play most times so you’ve gotta live with turnovers

 

[Covert Rain]

Suns missing easy buckets. Sheesh!

The Suns don't have many options.

 

[Covert Rain]

This team needs Ayton back. Biz is ugly on offense.

 

[Mainstreet]

This is not looking good with the Kings and 76ers coming up next.

 

[mjb21aztd]

Welpers not looking good hope suns make a run soon... ugh

 

[AzStevenCal]

This lineup can't score and can't stop anyone.

 

[Proximo]

Suns look horrible.

 

[Covert Rain]

Guard lineup. LOL.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Lakers just drive it to the basket like every other team. There is no secret to it.

 

[Mainstreet]

Halftime:

Lakers 59 - Suns 52

 

[TJ]

Monty is Kliff Kingsbury

I’ll take being down 7 with all the stuff that went wrong. We need a big Book 3rd quarter to get back in this. And please STOP FOULING. Move your feet, help each other and box out!!!
