Game Day: Suns (1-0) @ Lakers (1-0), Fri 10/25/24

Just not playing with any intensity on D
It's embarrassing at the moment

Then I remember we have Mavs tomorrow so I have to save some emotional stamina smh

[Furlanfufi]

Book is saving his ass to play against his nemesis, Klay Thompson.

[Furlanfufi]

WTF is that Nurk?

[Wally_West]

Nurk being on the court has been the leading cause for the Multiple Laker comebacks at this point. Yikes.

[The Bobster]

Booker not doing much good on either end.

[Wally_West]

Nurk is actively trying to lose.

[Furlanfufi]

He and booker have betted on losing

[Wally_West]

Nurk is a -18. Jeez bro

[ShelC]

Nurk's just not a good matchup for the Lakers. Feels like he gets burned every time.

[Wally_West]

Game is getting away from us but we literally saw this same scenario last game. Hopefully history repeats itself. No more Nurk for tonight.

[Wally_West]

Laker fans at my work keep telling me Reeves is better than Booker, so annoying I got to go back to that on Monday. Devin Booker please get your head out your ass.

[Split T]

So what happened, I was loosely following online and I just got home and we losing? Looks like Lakers are hitting everything according to the box score

[Wally_West]

Disgusting loss. But only game 2. We are gonna lose tomorrow too and it’ll be ugly. *sigh*

Early season struggles

Nurkic. Honestly, he absolutely lost us this game. He has more turnovers than points. -19 for the game. Didn’t play a minute in the 4th.

[Mori Chu]

38 min for KD on the losing first half of of a back-to-back, oof.

Trade Nurkic Demand: Day 1

[Split T]

We’ve already played a lot of KD at the 5 this year

[Split T]

Dunn was 3/5 from 3? That’s fun

[Mori Chu]

This is going to be a really bad year for Nurkic, isn't it? He just really feels like he doesn't fit in this year.

I love Tyus Jones but he had only 4 assists and 3 TOs tonight. Turnovers in general were high for our guys: Nurk - Beal - Plumlee each had 4 (oof), Book - KD - Royce - Oso each had 3.

[Wally_West]

It’s only game 2 but we’ve seen enough of Nurk to know we just can’t win with him. Ayton and Nurk are really different players but can’t win with either. Happy we got Grayson. He makes the trade worth it but really worried we are gonna have use our 1st to get rid of Nurk. Honestly, a mid center that just does the dirty work would probably be better at this point. Not sure who fits that bill right now.
