This defense will make anyone look like they're a future HOFer.

Not all defenses are going to be as permisive as our’s.

Last nigh Lonzo went against a real NBA team and was a very different player. He could win just by how much hype the league and the media is pumping up on him. They need the Lakers to be relevant again, no wonder the referees call it tonight as if LA were the home team. They take us put of rhythm late in the third, and put both our centers on 5 fouls.

I didn't realize Ball took 27 shots tonight. Booker only took 17 for comparison.
Go Suns!

I'd have to guess Simmons too.

Did we really put together that play out of bounds?

This is why I like Warren. He took over the 2nd quarter, and he can make something out of a broken play.

Then he misses both FTs.

Hate to see Warren as the goat at the end. He played a good game tonight.

The second was intentional. Still, a great loss tonight.

Yay, Ball one assist shy of a triple double. So he can do that against another team first.
Go Suns!

I was entertained and I saw some positive things from some of our young guys. That's all I ask. I don't care whether we win or lose, that's not what this season is about.

Our former #4 and #8 picks doubled their production from 4 points on Wednesday night to 8 points tonight. Yes!
Go Suns!

That's the thing. We can't win basketball games playing defense like that. The difference in the game was Corey Brewer's defense on Booker. We didn't have anything like that. The Lakers were pretty much able to run their offense unencumbered.

Of course the 2nd one was intentional.

the story of the first game, 10 assists
no team ball
the story of the 2nd game, Lonzo 29 after 2 last night
no defense

i care less about wins and losses than those other 2 things

i planned to sign up for SlingTV just to catch the games
but probably not

i'm on a trial for league pass which sucks big time. both games blacked out. as well as warriors blacked out tonight.
