Crowder as also apparently infected Booker with his terrible form.

Mikal looks shook in this series. I really thought he’d go off, but he’s been so tentative.

Early Thoughts:

-I am so glad JVG made the point about that Crowder foul. There are all these complaints about how many FTs being "given" to AD, but the Suns are committing dumb fouls and putting him on the line.

-Bridges needs to clean it up. That WIDE OPEN jumper in the lane has to drop, and you can't make that poor a pass after getting the Lakers to turn it over.

-Booker comes off the curl and doesn't even look to shoot. Not good.
Free Agency
DeMar Derozan for the minimum!

PG: Jordan McLaughlin, Killian Hayes, Kris Dunn, Spencer Dinwiddie, Monte Morris
C: Mo Bamba, Andre Drummond, James Wiseman, Goga Bitadze, Jay Huff

Booker was yelling at Ayton for not catching a pass. He’s right, Ayton needs to catch that but that’s criticism feels silly because they were in situation in the first place because he just missed a point blank lay-up. Not only is Booker missing early shots, he is also making stupid passes again leading to turnovers.

Book just needs to keep his head on
As poor as we've shot the ball, our turnovers are again helping the Lakers offense too much

I like the lane clogging its working pretty well. Make them live and die by the three. With that said I would like to see some more horns plays by us on the offence.

Craig gets fouled. No call. Payne takes a charge at mid court. No call.

Yep. Another Suns vs Lakers game.

That was interesting when Craig went full Russell Westbrook for a possession.

Just feels like a missed opportunity. Lakers didn’t play well and we find ourselves down 1. This isn’t anything hard, just need to make shots..

Craig doing his thing on the defensive glass already
Got a lil carried on O couple times but I personally never mind his minutes

On a whole we didn't move the ball as much as usual, one too many possessions with guys trying to make a play on their own without any ball movement

Just sickening to see the bias of the officials towards the Lakers
