If Oubre does anything offensively in this game, the suns win. Frustrating to lose a game they were in position to win, but damn, there are some really good things happening here. This Lakers team is a tough matchup for anyone... I really take a lot of positives away especially from Monty who had a really good gameplan to attack their size with tons of ball movement and cuts to the basket. Ayton would have been nice to have. I still think Devin looks like he's ill.

I'm fairly disappointed with tonight

Maybe I'm setting expectations too high prematurely because of our solid start but they didn't play with the energy and grit which I've been enjoying
We were knocking down shots so the game was close but we weren't scrappy and getting after them which is what bugs me the most. Just way too many layups tonight and fitting that offensive rebounds hurt us late cuz we weren't winning the 50/50 balls

I will be fine in a bit lol because my Outlook for the season is still good but a lil bummed right now

[Wally_West]

Once again, finishing quarters comes back to bite the Suns in the ass.

Proud of em...a losing team last year pushes LeBron team to the edge without Ayton...and I predict him with Jerome back ups our game another notch. Pretty awesome.

Well said.

Lakers hit their shots down the stretch. Kaminsky is out of the dog house and Saric is back in. Lol

Back and forth stressful game to watch.

[Flagrant Fowl]

The Lakers were playing with a full squad and the Suns were still down Ayton. We'll see what happens on January 2nd.

Two keys: 54% and Oubre

We have to defend better.

Oubre was a complete ghost. I don’t know what the hell
Is going on with him this year, but he needs to spend less time on his modeling/fashion/bullshit and more time playing basketball. His converse shoes are a complete joke. Do you want to play basketball??

[specialsauce]

Booker needs to play like a star in big games for us to win. He played below average tonight (for him) and really that’s not good enough.

Bridges offensive game has completely faded away.

Saric and Frank played great overall IMO.

Our interior defense and rotations were just sluggish tonight. Not sure why.

[Superbone]

Under four seconds on the shot clock and Booker just throws it over to Rubio. I would rather he just take the shot 4 feet behind the 3 point line. The odds would be better than forcing Rubio create with no time.

He doesn't want to mess up his percentages.

[specialsauce]

Cam is going to continue to take minutes from Bridges and Oubre, deservedly so, if he continues to improve. Has had a hell of a last few games.

[Superbone]

Oubre sucks so hard right now.

He was invisible this game.

[Superbone]

I would really like some separation by the suns. You just know Lebron is going go off in the 4th and some cushion would be nice.

That was my feeling most of the game and yep, it happened. We couldn't get any separation.

Allowing JaVale McGee to get 5 dunks in the third quarter alone is inexcusable albeit a bit of a fluke.

I don't know what you're on about Oubre. Sure, he had a bad game, but he's also having a career year. So..?

[specialsauce]

He’s had games of 11, 14, 15x2, now 1 points. My expectations for him are to be a 20ppg scorer consistently.

You're expecting him to be an all-star level player?

I think he has been fine. He guarded Lebron is what happened.

Yes. He has shown that ability. I expect it. He’s a black hole on offense, he absolutely has to be that secondary scorer for Book.

[Split T]

Oubre has been very good this year. He had 1 bad game.
