Suns are deep and dangerous. So satisfying imagining the Lakers "fans" trying to figure out who the Suns had playing in the fourth.
LOL!

I don't want to hear any Saric slander around here ever again. He's owning the last 6 minutes of this game.
Praise the Antichrist
Can we stop with this please.
Don’t mean to offend, just a popular nickname for Saric on Twitter and Reddit. I’ll tone it down going forward.
Thanks

Happy dance time. 2nd place in the West half way through the season and on a roll.

YSMF!!!!! I just got to the finish on my DVR. Such a big win. Loved that they didn't give up after Book got tossed. Saric is amazing. I thought Cam Johnson had a great game, too. He hit three 3s. Bridges, Crowder, rally all our swings were great. Nader. Paul didn't score much but had a lot of assists and just managed the game well. Ayton had a tough time on some defensive switches but scored well. Really liked the balance of contributions from everybody. And it always feels so freaking good to beat Lebron and the Lakers. Yes SIR!!!

He's taking Ayton's money.

For real. Not to pile on Ayton, but we really need his defense to pick back up. I can live with the inconsistent offense, but we absolutely will have to count on him to defend...specifically to be able to switch onto perimeter guys and hold his own. He’s not been doing that lately.

See a lot of folks on Reddit and Twitter making a big deal that the lakers were missing Gasol and Kuzma. Fuck outta here with that. I get they're rotation players but they fuckin suck.

Gasol is washed and Kuzma is essentially a 6’10” Abdel Nader. Laker fans overrate Kuzma so much. I get missing AD, that’s a huge piece but fuck off with them other 2.

Good point. I don't mind his offense at all. I just want him to be a lockdown defender. He's had a lot of trouble defending little guys on the switches lately. It has really hurt us in a few games. It's hard for me to tell why he has so much trouble with it. He's plenty athletic and long to be able to bother the shooters. It seems like it should go better than it does.

Few things:

I thought it was funny how the announcers were shocked at the early play of Damion Jones yet they had no clue he was on the Suns a week ago. You could tell they were scrambling for things to say about him and didn’t mention it once.

The refs targeting Booker was bullshit. Shaq said it, Candace Parker said it. Wade said it. Several NBA players tweeted it. The Lakers players on the court were laughing in disbelief. That crew should be suspended. It’s a disgrace to the game.

Nader sucked then he didn’t. Happy for him for preserving.

Fuck the Lakers. Fuck the NBA for trying to bury us! We’re #2 now bitch!

I absolutely mind his offense because his inability to execute in the paint will be the biggest difference between the Suns being a playoff team and being a title contender. The defensive stuff is the bare minimum.

Ya...if he can’t defend, he’s unplayable down the stretch when teams go small. He doesn’t take advantage of mismatches offensively. Saric might be quite important in certain playoff series.

Okay, I can’t be the only one wondering why the fuck Nader is a regular in the rotation when we’re not decimated with injuries???!!! Dude fucking sucks.
