How many times is KD going to lose the ball on a crossover before he realizes it's not his move anymore.

Watching Luka in a Lakers jersey certainly doesn't make him seem any less punchable to me.

Happy to see Dunn getting minutes, along with Oso and Gillespie. But we have only managed to muster 90 points here with 2 minutes left to play.

What do you imagine happening if you punched him?

A brief ripple effect across his layers of fat, resulting in no noticeable amount of injury or pain. And then assault charges and years of regret. So I think I'll pass.

Game Score Predictions Results:

Carno - Suns by 12. Leading scorer. Book with 35.
bajanguy008 - Suns 116 - Lakers 107 (Suns by 9)
Split T - Suns by 5, Dunn plays 30+ minutes and Luka shoots under 40%
Kryptonic - lakers by 1 with Luka’s buzzer beater while staring down booker
TOO - Luka by 37lbs; Funny but DISQUALIFIED
TOO - real prediction, Suns play rooks again, they can't make a shot, lose by 4 and Bud never plays them again.
Superbone - Fakers by 7. Doncic leads all scoring with 36.
Gladiator - Lakers by 7
Mori Chu - Lakers by 7.
JeremyG - Lakers by 13

Suns 96 - Lakers 107; Lakers by 11; JeremyG wins with the largest predicted Lakers victory out of the group. I called leading scorer and was only off by 3 points.

Seems like a good strategy is to just try to be the person who predicts the biggest loss for the Suns.

KD stiill has the chance to make a big positive impact on the Suns, by netting us a big return when we trade him this summer. The most important thing we can do as a franchise at this point is just minimize the chance that he gets injured before then.
