Now that he's catching the ball it's good Ayton

DA got his dunking shoes on tonight

It's unfortunate that we know how this game was gonna be called
Another test of resiliency

Yea was hoping CP3 was alright, well I guess that's what he is "Alright". At least it's not as badd as last game, he's getting screened on it and seems to not be flinching and maybe he starts to trust it more as the game goes on

Paul’s offense coming to life.

Hard to get defensive rebounds without ayton or crowder

I’m pretty content with whatever happens tonight, win or lose. Lakers are supposed to win this game. They’re the defending champs, they have LeBron and AD, they cannot afford to be 0-2 in this series. I’ll be happy as long as we hang tough.

Lakers' size is beating us right now. We can't not have DA out there but we're risking it with him having 2 fouls. I'd rather see Craig on AD than Cam or Saric at this point. Can't be any worse.

Suns ain’t winning shit if Mikal is gonna be a wallflower on offense.

Great play by Ayton. Bridges finally hits a 3.

More please, Mikal.

Feels like the Suns should be down more. Let's see what kind of adjustments they can make in the second half...

Suns should be down by a lot more, in reasonably good shape. Let's see how they come out in the 3rd.

Ayton playing good defense against Davis in the second quarter.

Lakers punching the Suns and they’re only down 6. Expecting a huge second half from the Suns.

Luv my Avatar Bros as everyone knows but disagreed with that lineup Monty went with having both Cam n Mikal on together
Can't use that against Bron and AD, must be either one with Jae or Craig

That lineup was too small and got us in a hole
Decent close to the half tho and interestingly maybe it just 1 or 2mins or even time for one play, Monty would always put CP3 back in to end the half but he left Cam in
That was telling

They are letting Ayton feed on purpose and seeing if we can beat them with the rest of our players. Which we are not doing.

Agreed.

We kept it within striking distance and it could be worse. The Lakers took us out of our rhythm so let's see what adjustments are made at half. Not sure if Paul plays in the 2nd half or how much. Payne was holding it down in the 2nd qtr tho.

I think we need to go Craig more in the 2nd half, maybe over Dario. We're just getting killed inside, maybe Craig brings some energy and atheticism. If nothing else, he's got 6 fouls.

Charles is saying it at halftime and he's right - Book's gotta start letting it fly.

Yup. Book has to go out scoring the bucket.
Amen to Craig. I don’t want to see Saric out there. Crowder knows he got paid to turn up in the playoffs. He needs to ball the fuck out and knock down some shots.

Chuck just said it
Book absolutely glided past KCP and just had Bron standing in the key and showed him too much respect. That was a 1-2 and hammer dunk which would have made the place explode

I appreciate him trying not to play hero-ball but some of his dump off passes been ill advised. Just take the pull-up

I knew well expected a Lakers response, I get some of y'all crediting Lakers D but I just think we haven't played well. I'm not seeing it as the Champs really showed up tonight and we struggling to hang or anything
