Game Day: Suns (48-19) @ Lakers (37-30), Sun 5/9/21

[Split T]

Really don’t know why James Jones didn’t prioritize getting another big. It could be our (early) undoing. Frank’s not gonna cut it against the Lakers.

I was like WTF with Torrey Craig guarding AD

Who did you want? Frank?

[Split T]

Might have to throw Galloway out there. Craig is an absolute liability out there

At PF?

I don’t think that’s going to help defend AD

[The Bobster]

Put Carter in there and make them work a little harder getting set up.

[ShelC]

Pretty ugly so far.

[Flagrant Fowl]

An 11 point deficit really isn't that bad considering basically everything went wrong that quarter.

[Split T]

One thing I learned after they didn’t give Book continuation on that one shot against Atlanta, I think?

You have to have started your shooting motion to get a shooting foul on a jump shot. If it’s considered a drive(needs to end inside the lower defensive box, which is between the dashes just outside the key and below the half circle underneath the ft line) you have to have completed the gather before the foul to make it a shooting foul.

[Split T]

Was that not a goaltend by AD? Looked like crowder got it off the glass...on review, yes a clear goaltend

[djy2j]

Clearly a goaltend but refs can’t see it. Weird

[djy2j]

Ayton going to shoot this half or is going to wait and take one the second half?

[Split T]

Ayton going to shoot this half or is going to wait and take one the second half?

Waiting for the playoffs

[Flagrant Fowl]

AD is wearing the uniform with 'Lakers' on the front, therefore no goaltend.

[Flagrant Fowl]

Caruso gets better treatment from the officials than Booker.

[djy2j]

Might have to throw Galloway out there. Craig is an absolute liability out there

At PF?

I don’t think that’s going to help defend AD

No

[Flagrant Fowl]

Shoot. A. Fucking. Layup.

[The Bobster]

This team isn't built to defend big teams. We've been talking about this all year. Most teams don't have the personnel to take advantage of that, but the Lakers sure do.

[Split T]

DA got lucky there...he fouled Drummond...also it’s one thing to get beat on the glass because of size...but letting Drummond pick up an offensive rebound on a ball on the ground is not acceptable.

True, but I’m more worried about our offense

[Split T]

Did AD ever sit this half?

[Split T]

I guess put Carter on AD

[Flagrant Fowl]

Did Harrell just call another technical foul for the officials?
