FUCK THE LAKERS

Finally! A week is a long time to go between games.

Chriss is probably used to it, though, coming from a football background.

Beat L.A.!

Beat Louisiana?

Who else is watching? Suns up 20-14 on my stream. Warren with 6 points already.

2 quick fouls by Booker and TJ

I kind of like Huertas. He just seems crafty. Lakers have a lot of young talent. You can tell they are happy not to be playing with Kobe any more.

[Mori Chu]

Man, there is NOBODY in the crowd for this game. It's press row and then a scattered seat here or there.

[Mori Chu]

It's like a WNBA Finals crowd out there! /lowblow

It's nice to see Dudley having a pretty good game. He has 8 points at the half on 3-4 shooting with one 3-pointer.

Our expensive guards, Bledsoe and Knight, are shooting badly out there, 0-3 and 2-7 respectively. It is a preseason game, though.

Len somehow has the most shots in the game with 9. He's shot 4-9 and has 8 points. Balanced scoring for the Suns overall in the 1st half.

[carey]

We'll lose any game where we shoot 27% from 3 and 45% from the line which is what we are shooting atm in this one.

Almost into the season, final game, and we are going against one of the projected as worst team for next year, it worries me a little that we do not look neither engaged or coordinated. We are up and down in effot and execution, and that is not going to get the job done, not even against the Lakers. Hopefully is just the guys as desperate as us to start playing games that count.

[Aztec Sunsfan]

Len keeps playing as guard, he gets two consecutive offensive rebounds and instead of going up strong, he throws the ball up to the rim like he was the smallest player on the melee.

[carey]

Turnover after turnover after turnover.

And bad shot selection.

Hopefully is just the guys as desperate as us to start playing games that count.

The whole season is basically preseason. The players may be thinking about competing for a playoff spot, but from my perspective this is a rebuilding year and it's all about developing the skills and the system that will allow the team to compete in the long run, which is basically what the preseason is for. So we have the same main objectives in the "games that count" that we do in the preseason.
