Time: 7:00 pm AZ (7:00 pm PT/10:00 pm ET)
Place: Crypto.com Arena, Los Angeles, CA
TV: ESPN
The LA tour continues. Up next, the hated Lakers. Here's to hoping Bronny gets a lot of playing time in a blowout Lakers loss. Allen and Beal (right shoulder) are probable. Josh Okogie remains out.

Surprised Beal didn’t get an injury on that ankle.
Beat the damn Lakers please!

It would be really nice to win this one and get two wins over LA teams to start the season. We will need to play better than we did against the clippers - Davis looks in great form and the Lakers are largely healthy.

This is one of the teams with size that do actually worry me. We can't seem to slow Davies down at all with any body we put on him.
Here is to a nice fast 3/4 up by 25 and let the starters sit the 4th.

Seriously, the Lakers have a big front court with Anthony Davis, LeBron, and Rui Hachimura. Rebounding will be VERY important for this game.

It's been easy to take the Lakers for granted, but in the 2 games we had against them in the preseason and their game against the Wolves showed that there starting 5 is pretty forminable against our starting 5. That's a bit of a concern to me. So, I agree with you that the Suns need to play better and Davis has looked great so far. This will be a tough game to win, imo.

Totally agree…. Will be nice to have a pretty full/healthy starting 5 to go head to head. I feel like most of our regular season games the last couple years we’ve seen players load managed in our match ups so it’s been hard to get a good feeling for how we play them come post season.

I agree that it's nice to have a full/healthy starting 5, but at the same time, I haven't seen any evidence that they've played better than their opponent with that 5. I believe that they've been close or even outscored by the opponents starting 5 in the games we have seen so far this year, including preseason games.

The Lakers gave us a lot of trouble last year; they were one of the teams that exploited our dependence on Nurkic. So I'm eager to see if we can adjust and attack them better with this new squad.

Gonna be awful watching unibrow spend 2 hours flexing every time he does something. I do not expect a kind whistle this game.

Well, hopefully we get to hear Reggie Miller along with it.
THAT will make it better.
ETA: I guess he's on TNT. So we'll get Doris Burke or Richard Jefferson. Yay.

FYI, if you come into contact with any Lakers fans, here are some clear instructions on how to handle them. Speaking of which, I will be attending our home game against these same Fakers on Monday.

Wise words... They're the absolute worst, loudmouth fans out there. Right next to Yankees and Cowboys fans
Bring airpods to drown them out before and after the game too.

Hopefully, I'll be laughing at them.

Just Beat L.A! I hate these Mfers.. This father son thing which unfolds in L.A. is a disgrace to this game and gets to my nerves everytime I see a content about it. Can not comprehend why this is such a popular, because everything about is fake as it gets.. So just beat those losers by 30...

Are there even any lakes in LA? Didn't the evil Laker fans already drain them to water their lawns? The evil Lakers must be vanquished.
Go Suns!
