We are too small right now…cut it to 4 and give up a 10-0 run with a lot of it coming on 2nd chance…of course Lebron is gonna abuse Booker in the paint

Lakers up 14, we were just down 4 points 7 seconds ago. Crazy.

Between turnovers and offensive rebounds we're giving, there’s no way to win this game.

We’re missing that guy who gives us size but doesn’t kill our spacing…KBD not being able to shoot hurts…maybe we try Metu? Little isn’t huge but adds some size.

Exactly. Lakers have too much size and the turnovers are killing the Suns.

We took 18 less shots than the Lakers. In one half.

Can't win with equal amount of turnovers and FGM.
Also can't win with more turnovers than FGM.
Absolutely impossible to win with 18 fewer FGA in a half.

We can’t sugarcoat this. This is a completely spineless performance.

No one came to play tonight. Have the deer in the headlights look about them.

The Lakers are running everyone who can shoot off of the line. Suns have to commit to getting fouled at the rim to have any chance.

This is theoretically still a very much winnable game. Hopefully we come out with fire in the second half.

If only Okogie could shoot a little…he’d at least attack the rim on close outs.. if only someone would close out on him

We look like crap, but we’re tied.
Not any more. What a fun half, eh? We’re on good pace to set the Phoenix Suns record for turnovers in a game.

We’re being thoroughly outplayed. Lucky to only be down as much as we are.

Teams don't even play this poorly in the preseason. Suns are sleepwalking.
The body language is not good. Too cool for school.
