A real bad few minutes at a real bad time now after working so hard to get back level.

Get used to it. It's going to happen every game.

Does Davis have more FTs than our entire team? These officials are fucking trash.

I love Cam Payne and the Suns wouldn't have had a chance to win the game without him, but he's not reliable enough to make decisions in the late game situations.

What hurts is that I still don't see them as better than us or any level we don't have

You just hope Paul is healthy enough for game 3. A healthy Paul and this is a freakin win. Lakers were desperate as fuck and we took them to the brink without Paul. That’s huge. If you can split in LA, I like our chances in Gm 5 with a nearly full arena.

Reggie Miller is an idiot. He’s making jokes and saying how good Anthony Davis’s obvious moving screen was to free up Lebron for a 3.

Well, this one's over, but we played hard and almost won a really rugged and scrappy game against the defending champs. If we had a healthy Paul I think we win this one. Hope he's feeling better by Game 3. Impressed with Ayton in both games.

If not I dont want them to play him. I think JC would have put the Clamp down on Schruder

Bridges has been a zero. Pathetic. Two games now?

I feel like Lionel Hollins is a traitor assisting for the Lakers. I know irrational but there are some things you just don't do.

Really disappointing but I’m calling it now, he’s gonna have a huge game 3 & 4.

Bridges and Johnson have to give you a lot more that 6 points in 26 minutes each.

They fought hard, but this is a tough loss by the numbers. Losing the turnover battle 13-7 has to be remedied or the Suns will be luck to win another game in this series.

Booker’s shooting percentage sucks, but he has just been throwing it up from 3 to draw fouls. He is 17/17 from the free throw line tonight.

I don't know about that. The Lakers defend the three point line really well and Mikal isn't comfortable attacking the rim.

I've liked his defense a ton, so I'm not really upset with how he's played overall.

I think at least 8 of those came in the last 90 seconds when the game was basically decided.

You just have to steal one in LA. That’s simple.

Yep, two would be nice (obviously) but one is a non-negotiable
