Biz is the best at defending AD among our bigs but he’s an absolute zero offensively. It is what it us.

Warren has been ok from what I’ve seen…blew that fastbreak though by dropping the Booker pass. I’ve also only seen the 2nd half
To be fair, I haven't watched a lot of the game.
What is smallball? I play basketball. I'm not a regular big man. I can switch from the center to the guards. The game is evolving. I'd be dominAyton if the WNBA would let me in. - Ayton

Let this be TJ’s breakout game please. It would be huge if we can get 10-14 points off the bench from him going forward.

It’s the most I’ve seen him do. He did get lost in transition D leaving his man for a wide open layup…and just had a bad and-1 foul right there. Defense needs work

And then he immediately makes a bad defensive play out of the timeout.

Pathetic stretch. Ross with 2 garbage shots. AD with CP3 on him for 20 seconds and we never switched.

3 seconds and traveling have to be the most subjective "No, fuck you.." calls a ref could make in the NBA.

Has played in Orlando for the last 5 years where he was never expected to play a lick of defense. Was worried about the Orlando stank following him here.

Pathetic basketball tonight. Not optimistic about this squad.

Lakers need the win much more than the Suns. I’m expecting some BS in this one.
Seeing as the Lakers are the media's darlings and we can't catch a break from officiating and Scott Foster, yeah.
You called it. Earlier in the game where the ref EMPHATICALLY reverses the correct call when Booker is raked across the face and the Suns have to use a challenge to overturn it.

Same. KD coming back doesn't fix this mess.

KD and Ayton coming back does fix most of this mess. It absolutely changes everything…can’t learn much from these games at all

I disagree. The bench is a wreck. Ayton coming back certainly doesn't help the defense. Maybe a bit more offensive punch from him, yes.

The bench is a bunch of scorers who can't score. And Monty clearly doesn't know how to use them.

CP has nothing left in the tank.

KD helps alot but the bench still has to exist.

All of a sudden we suck now. And it doesn’t help that the ESPN announcers who are supposed to impartial are slobbering all over the Lakers all game long and game planning for AD.
