Suns @ Lakers Tuesday game thread, 12-5-2023 - West Quarterfinal, In-Season Tournament

[Sunburn]

The timeout call is catching a lot of flack from various fanbases on r/nba subreddit.

Reeves shot 3-8 from 3?

What are you even talking about.

in the last two minutes I believe he hit two enormous 3s. I was responding to the comment about the last two minutes. And he shut 37.5% from 3. That’s what they need from him. He hit big shots. We didn’t hit enough of those.

You said to find anyone outside of Suns fans to talk about the officiating.

That was search 1. I can continue or you can retract that statement.

No, I said to find a suns fan that was crying and whining about the whole game officiating like y’all. I very clearly said that was a blown call.

 

[Mainstreet]

AD had 1 personal foul

Book and KD had 10

I still see AD going over the back for rebounds.

 

[jbjarko]

You disagree that people say Devin has a punchable face? Or that it normalizes assault?

I don’t think Devin has a punchable face personally. And I’m sorry if you think I’m for normalizing assault because I’m absolutely against any assault regardless of what I may have said. I was pissed in the moment. I’d never want to cause harm to him, or anyone.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

At least I didn’t call you stupid. You’re better than that.

You’re right. I apologize to you and the board. You’re not stupid. Some just have a difficult time watching suns games with any objectivity.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Almost had a triple double with Durant and Allen both going off as well? Weird take…

Lol… almost had a triple double… yeah, closer to getting that with turnovers than rebounds.

Reality check: When your best player scores 7 less than his average, shoots 6-16 and has an absolutely pathetic 7 turnovers that’s a BAD game. Thinking otherwise is a weird take.

Now I got you right where I want you councilor.

So are you saying the officiating was a factor in the loss?

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Reportedly there isn't a take foul in the last 2 minutes.

Huh. I didn’t know that. That’s a stupid rule.

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

I still see AD going over the back for rebounds.

21 offensive rebounds. It's not the refs. I watched the whole game.

 

[TJ]

This team freaking pisses me off to no end.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Apparently some think it’s ok to get screwed by the refs at the end of a hard fought game if you played poorly in the first half.

It’s not “okay,” but it happens in every sport. That timeout was an egregious call. The rest of the games wasn’t called egregiously.

Do I need to get the non suns fans opinions here too?

It’s a combo of our centers being wussies and the officiating wearing Kobe jerseys

 

[unseenaz]

Almost had a triple double with Durant and Allen both going off as well? Weird take…

imagine looking at a box score and only thinking double digits in points rebounds and assists matter

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Again retract this hilarious statement or I can continue to provide evidence.

Please go out and waste your time, Chris.

As it should. One of the worst calls I’ve seen in a long time. Also this: terrible calls happen.

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

Where is everyone watching the post game pressers - I don't think Vogel thought the game was officiated honestly - I don't think Book thought it was either - I'm thinking everyone in that locker room is feeling a type of way

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

in the last two minutes I believe he hit two enormous 3s. I was responding to the comment about the last two minutes. And he shut 37.5% from 3. That’s what they need from him. He hit big shots. We didn’t hit enough of those.

You believe?

Councilor the facts will show that Reeves hit exactly 1 for 3 pointer in the 4th while going 1-4.

 

[GatorAZ]

The Suns are bottom-5 in turnover per possession. This will ultimately be our downfall it feels like. Any adequate on ball defense on the perimeter and we make basic passes look difficult. Vogel/Young need to figure this crap out.

 

[jbjarko]

As it should. One of the worst calls I’ve seen in a long time. Also this: terrible calls happen.

We do need to remember this. We’re fans of Arizona sports. They tend to happen against our abysmal franchises.

Eh I’m not greenlightimg yahoo to collect all that data on me.

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

Big shot Austin though

 

[Mainstreet]

We have the tape, but sadly, it doesn't matter.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Now I got you right where I want you councilor.

So are you saying the officiating was a factor in the loss?

I never said it wasn’t a factor. Officiating is a factor in literally every game in every sport. And sometimes a single call can be pivotal (as the timeout seemed to be here) but that’s not what everyone was gnashing teeth and whining about and throwing out conspiracies posts and posts and posts before that call occurred and you know that’s what I’m addressing.
