Suns @ Lakers Friday game thread 10-22-2021

[Covert Rain]

Doesn’t matter. Beginning of seasons are always weird. I remember the Suns 2007 season starting and we went 2-4 and everyone (definitely including me) was already hanging off the ledge. Then they went on to win their next 29 of 30 games.

I feel like the first week or so of the NBA is like the first game of the season in the NFL. It’s all a feeling out process.

I watching the Lakers game and the play by play said the exact same thing. They said the team you see come mid-season isn't the team you are seeing out of the gate. They some teams just need time to gel with new faces.

This season is over. We should just try for a good draft pick.

The Suns draft pick in 2022 likely conveys to OKC without massive tanking.

wonder if there will be anything that distracts the team tonight?

I am sure they're dreading talking to the press after the game.

 

[Mainstreet]

The same starting five for Lakers.

that is a weird starting lineup.

 

[Cheesebeef]

also, watching Milsap get some early run on Brooklyn. Sorry, you can't tell me he wouldn't have been a good fit here at the backup PF spot. Shoots the 3, still a solid rebounder in spot duty.

The Lakers will want to bully the Suns with that lineup.

Monty says nothing is going to invade the team's culture.

I still have Paul Booker 15 assists to pay +150

 

[Mainstreet]

Almost time for tip-off.

 

[Mainstreet]

Ayton aggressive going to basket early but comes up empty.

 

[Mainstreet]

Crowder scores in close for first points.

 

[Mainstreet]

Crowder with another floater.

 

[Mainstreet]

Ayton with the dunk!

 

[sdscard4]

Westbrook Is so annoying to watch
How he was MVP I'll never know

 

[Chaplin]

Not liking the officiating so far.

 

[sdscard4]

Davis will have an injury by game 12 book it

 

[Mainstreet]

Three floaters for Crowder tonight.

 

[sdscard4]

Kardashian curse in full effect

 

[Mainstreet]

Two fouls already by Booker.

 

[Yuma]

Three floaters for Crowder tonight.

This just looks wrong (floaters.....)

 

[Chaplin]

Two fouls already by Booker.

That second one was a bad call.
