Can someone please guard Nick Young? How many 3's is he going to make before a guy stays on this dude?

[Cap]

OK, Swag, that was impressive.

[Mori Chu]

Ugh, our "home" crowd is cheering for the Lakers just as loud as they cheer for us. They lived that Nick Young 3 and 1.

[iLLmatic]

Suns quit playing.

[SDC]

no way, the lakers are making a comeback!

[Cap]

Dragic with some big plays down the stretch.

Nick Young belons in a Lakers Jersey.

[iLLmatic]

Lakers just gave up lol.

[da_suns_fan]

Season sweep of Lakers...which the fourth could have been against Kobe.

[carey]

13 of 16. Are we maybe no longer mediocre, but good?

[virtual9mm]

Why do they play the 5-note melody from "Close Encounters" when IT scores?

IT does look like a slightly less ugly version of Nick van Exel...

[carey]

I don't like playing Alex so few minutes. He wasn't in foul trouble. In 19 minutes he had 6pts/6rebs/3blks/1PF. Let the big fella play.

I think the team chooses to rest him when they can, spare him from possible injury, when the opponent both doesn't have a real big and really sucks.

... I was happy to see IT have a good game tonight. He'd been struggling. Lots of rumors about various players being unhappy. I'm having a hard time seeing how McD turns these "assets" into players who see the court.

[Superbone]

Lol. Anyone just see Charles Barkley say we were too small and we went out and traded for Ed Davis?

The sad thing is that nobody corrected him until after a break. Maybe they didn't know he was talking about BW either.

[Superbone]

Why do they play the 5-note melody from "Close Encounters" when IT scores?

IT : ET

His out of this world play?

[Superbone]

Why do they play the 5-note melody from "Close Encounters" when IT scores?

ET... IT...

... But that tune isn't from E.T. Is it? And what, is Thomas an alien or something now? I just don't understand the connection at all.

The ET theme doesn't lend itself to a 5 second sound bite as well.

[Superbone]

Wow, the Lakers scoring is so balanced when Kobe doesn't play. Seriously, look at it. Literally every player who's gotten into the game so far has between 6 and 12 points.

What'd I tell you? They're better without Kobe.

[Superbone]

Ugh, our "home" crowd is cheering for the Lakers just as loud as they cheer for us. They lived that Nick Young 3 and 1.

I wanted someone to chop them all individually in their necks! It made up for it at the end though when you could see the Laker clad fans streaking out the isles and the Suns fans cheered them out of the arena.

[Sunsfan4life]

I don't care what their record is, it feels GREAT Sweeping the Lakers.

They haven't beaten us in Phoenix since 2011.

[Nodack]

The Suns did play down to their level, but predictably turned it on in the third and built up a lead before predictably relaxing and letting them back in the game before predictably crushing the Lakers hopes in the end.
