Game Day: Lakers (0-1) @ Suns (0-1), Fri 10/20/17

[Flagrant Fowl]

Len on the receiving end of some terrible foul calls tonight.

[iLLmatic]

Devin Booker getting his lunch taken from him.

[O_Gardino]

Booker having a genuinely bad 3rd quarter. He needs to let Warren and James run the offense a bit.

[iLLmatic]

I continue to be impressed with Mike James.

What is this running the offense you speak of? Suns have gone back to their bad habits this quarter....no system, little passing.
As for the defense....horrendous.

[Split T]

Warren and Booker have both traveled at least 3 times

[Split T]

That was an impressive play by ball. Decent D by Chriss

[O_Gardino]

Is Mike James our best PG? Through 2 games, he is.

[iLLmatic]

Lonzo ball is such a cocky little asshole

[iLLmatic]

Warren and Booker have both traveled at least 3 times

And yet refs don't call travel on the euro step. Blows my mind.

[Mori Chu]

MIKE. EFFING. JAMES!

[O_Gardino]

Bender got 7 minutes in the 2nd quarter, and his team was +11. Will we see him in the second half?

[Flagrant Fowl]

There's this stuff called defense. We should try that.

[Mori Chu]

I should note, I haven't really bought in on the James hype train yet. He's a talented scorer, but he doesn't seem to be a very good passer nor does he get others involved or make other better much. He seems like at best a microwave guy off the bench who some nights will get us a few big buckets. I still much prefer Ulis long-term as a starting caliber PG in the making.

There's this stuff called defense. We should try that.

But there's no "D" in offense!

[O_Gardino]

Bender in and forces a time out by denying the in bounds pass. I really hope this kids puts it all together.

[The Bobster]

If they're not going to play Bledsoe, they just need to trade him.

Well, even if they do play him they need to trade him.

That's exactly what he is. And he's a good fit with some of our pass first forwards.

[O_Gardino]

What are these illegal d calls? I just don't get what the violation is.

[O_Gardino]

I'm glad Watson brought Booker back to the bench. Talk to him a bit and send him back out with a game plan. (I wish)
