Suns @ Lakers Wednesday game thread 1-1-20

[Mainstreet]

End of 1st quarter:

Lakers 43 - Suns 17

 

[Sunburn]

We can't keep doing this in the first quarter.

 

[Mainstreet]

Lakers came out like the Lakers teams of old and buried the Suns in the 1st quarter.

Suns were not ready for it.

Mostly, the refs kind of set the tone as well. The cheap fouls on Oubre, then the one on Diallo. Green knocked it out on Booker, but was a Suns turnover. But we also have no competent backup pg.

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

This is the Sun's reality.

Rubio is a detriment on offense

Saric and Ayton are a detriment on defense

 

[Proximo]

Suns look worse than the Washington generals.

This is seriously embarrassing.

 

[Evil Ash]

Not ready for showtime. This is a layup drill

Our bigs are awful

Suns were rattled early and never recovered. Cheap fouls on Oubre didn't help.

It was clear from the beginning, the referees were going to let the Lakers do whatever they wanted. Still no excuse for Suns playing so poorly.

This is an Igor led Suns type effort.

Would have been a good year to take a gamble on Fultz. I'm not sure if Dedmon would help with length on the team.

Outside of book this is a gutless effort. The refs have nothing to do with it

I only said it didn't help. Stand by what I said.

Nah cmon, you can't even breath on Lebron and that took some aggression away from Oubre and affected the lineup.

 

[TJ]

Baynes is regressing to the mean.

 

[Mainstreet]

Lakers persistently are allowed to come over the backs of Suns players.

 

[1Sun]

Baynes is regressing to the mean.

Yup. Should have sold high on him and found a trade partner a few weeks ago.

 

[Evil Ash]

He regressed past the mean. Hes sucked since he came back from the injury

We were out of it before oubre's 2nd foul

 

[Sunburn]

19 point comeback against the Blazers was epic. Is a 30 point comeback against the Lakers even possible? Or is this in the old deep freeze?

 

[95pro]

Ayton fouls Howard for the 3pt play.

 

[Sunburn]

Ayton loses the ball going up....

Common narrative from this forum. The refs didn’t spot them 30 points. Tired of hearing excuses about the officiating. The refs suck every game league wide.

give me a break. You act like every gm should have the ability to see the future. Will you give it a rest please.

Is James Jones your uncle or something? Why do you refuse to see anything wrong with how he conducted this offseason, even when his mistakes are obvious?

 

[TJ]

Looks like an Igor game: no defense, not even trying to involve Ayton in the offense And just using him for screens, and overall out coached.
