Game Day: Suns (22-11) @ Lakers (24-11), Tues 3/2/21

What % of NBA games are within 2 possessions in the last 5 minutes of the game? Like +85%?

Exactly. The big complaint of the NBA is you dont have to watch until the fourth quarter.

same with fútbol, American football, hockey... even golf.

Markieff will start and I'd bet that THT gets a lot of minutes.

I just don't want a repeat of the New Orleans or Brooklyn game. No blowouts or ridiculous blown leads in the second half.

I'll take a blowout.

[Superbone]

"and Damian Jones questionable"

That's what we used to say.

[Nodack]

No mercy!

[Split T]

Oh I hope Damian Jones plays, haha

[Flagrant Fowl]

I wouldn't get my hopes up for Ayton. He seems to play to his opponents level more often than not. The Lakers will certainly try to punk him in the paint.

Crowder back in the starting lineup

[Wally_West]

Good vibes.





Suns win.

Clippers just lost...we move to 2nd with a win tonight

Smelling like a trap game to me. I'd like them to start by feeding DA in the post. Give him a chance to get going and thrive. If he fumbles the ball and the opportunity, Suns will have to find a way to do something else.

Depending on who is starting at Center for the Lakers, I would put DA on LeBron at times just to throw his rhythm off. Otherwise, Crowder gets his shot at the King.

Messing with fire taking Frank out!

Dudley playing the 5 against Ayton right now...need to take advantage

[Furlanfufi]

OMG a Dudley sighting!!!

Lakers look like they’ll struggle to score. We need to just run our offense, don’t turn the ball over or give up a bunch of offensive boards. That’s how the Lakers steal this one.

[ShelC]

Good start on both sides of the ball. Lakers are missing a lot of shots, we're knocking down a good amount but feels like the lead could be bigger. If we're hitting shos, the Lakers can't match up. Dario, Bridges, Jae with 3s, Book getting to the basket balance out the attack. DA's been very effective inside, taking advantage of the smaller Harrell and we've also done a good job of looing for him inside. Would love to break this one open before LeBron becomes interested.

[Split T]

How did we not know how much time on the clock there? Coming out a timeout

[Split T]

Cam hitting shots tonight!
