Game Day: Lakers (3-0) @ Suns (2-1), Mon 10/28/24

[Gladiator]

Someone let the Suns know the game has started.

[TOO]

This is about the dumbest start I can remember. Forcing Nurk is stupid, he can't play in this game, forcing shots on AD is stupid, nobody covering AD or rebounding, lol, time to do something else for a bit.

Running that Vogel offense. Throw it to Nurk for him to back a smaller guy down and miss a layups. Chef's kiss.

[ShelC]

We don't have any answer for AD but this just a repeat of last season in terms of offense.

[Furlanfufi]

Put the g league team on the court

I just turned it on, what'd I miss? ...

Nurk is dominating, the Suns are running a motion offense and getting easy layups and 3s.

I think we need to rename it the Beal 3-guard offense.
We’re giving up size not just defensively, but offensively. And if Nurk can’t finish over Rui, AD gets to continue to frustrate KD, Beal can’t finish against bigger wings, and our offense ends up being Booker ISO or Nurk post-up.

It won’t happen now, or even November, but it’s going to become obvious the 3 guards under 6’5” shit isn’t going to cut it.

Finally showing life. Gotta get stops. Time to repay the lakers for the other night

[djy2j]

A lot less disasters when Nurk is on the bench. Going to have to bench him or trade him sooner than later. He's such a net negative out there. Sucks the life out of the offense

[Mori Chu]

Horrible start but they're clawing their way back in it.

[Furlanfufi]

Dunn is smart and poised

[Cap]

Suns within 2. Nurk still -18.

[Mori Chu]

Devin ARMANI Booker!!

[specialsauce]

NURKIC HAS GONE TO FUCK HIMSELF AND THE PHOENIX HAS RISEN FROM THE ASHES ONCE AGAIN IN HIS ABSENCE

[djy2j]

Here. We. Come.

Effort has elevated

[specialsauce]

Start Plumlee for the love of God, and I don't even like him

[Wally_West]

Finally woke up, now let’s kick ass

[ShelC]

Nurk just can't play against the Lakers. It's a matchup thing. Plumlee's still not great but holding his own and we're not running offense thru him. Good to see the team chip away. KD carried us in the 1st qtr, Beal helped out and Royce brought some juice. Book's leading the 2nd unit a bit more now looking for his offense. Dunn missed a 3 but had a pretty drive to the basket.

[Mori Chu]

Durant 12, Booker 9, Beal with "only" 5 but some great defense and overall smart play. The Big 3 doing great. Dunn also had a nice layup at the rim.
