Game Day: Lakers (31-27) @ Suns (33-24), Sun 2/25/24

Russell killing us.

[SunsSince92]

Durant is just trying to do too much. It feels like he's more worried about out scoring LeBron than he is finding the open man for th easy bucket. Okogie is also looking totally redundant out there, just offers nothing at all. On the plus side O'Neale, Bol and Nurk are bringing it tonight.

[Mori Chu]

I can't believe Bol Bol has turned into a legit weapon for us. He has 11 points in 13 minutes. Royce O'Neale also playing very well with 12 points in his first start. KD struggling a little, shooting just 2-8.

Saben Lee continues to spot up for these corner 3s. He has made one today, but his shot has such a horrendous hitch in it, I really wish he just wouldn't shoot them.

DAR is absolutely on fire, shooting 7-9 so far. I've had my eye on (frequent Suns killer) Dinwiddie but he hasn't actually done that much yet.

Between dribbling off his foot, dribbling into 3 defenders in transition with an advantage (with eventual jump ball lost), and just forcing contested off balance shots out of rhythm, he’s keeping the Lakers in this one.

This game made me wonder: Would we be a better team if we had this year's Lebron rather than KD? Like if you just swapped them straight up. KD is a better scorer, but Lebron's facilitating is so exceptional that maybe it would fix our awful offense.

Russell killing us.

Which is annoying me....

At least Saben seems to be playing within his limits tonight. He's not done anything horrendous and has contributed a couple of rebounds, a couple of assists and 5 points so far.

Bol MF Bol!

Lemme do an EJ....

"I love when KD struggles early cause you know he's going to focus in and make the adjustment"

[Wally_West]

These refs have lost control lol

[SunsSince92]

Durant absolutely sucks tonight

[Wally_West]

Durant fucking sucking so far

Ooof

Damn wtf

[Mori Chu]

I hate hearing the Phoenix crowd cheering loudly for Lebron dunking on us.

[Wally_West]

Just feels like a matter of time before the lakers get the lead, build on it, then keep it.

[The Bobster]

No lead is safe with this team.

[Wally_West]

Lebron wants this shit.

[Gladiator]

A lead with this team fees like this old Charlie Brown classic:

Yeah, thankfully they've stalled offensively and are making silly mistakes. I still expect them to put another run together though. Just need to stay locked in on defense.
