Lakers @ Suns 10/20/2017

[Folster]

This game is going to tell me a lot about this team particularly Bledsoe. Last night, Beverly shut down Ball and really brought the intensity. I better see the same from Bledsoe. He better not let Ball go off on us.

Watson has a lot riding on this game as well. Another blowout and his days are numbered.

Take down the Lakers! Hope our bench gets it together. There are not much scoring there with Ulis, that 3pt shooter, Chriss and Bender, but they have to do something.

I’ll admit, I always want us to beat the lakers. But if we lose, we lose. Win-win.

Troy Daniels?

Troy Daniels?

Or Mike James?

Alonzo Ball did have an inauspicious first game with the Lakers matched up against Beverley and the Clippers last night. He had 3 points, 4 assists and two turnovers. I suspect we will see an improved Ball tonight.

Brook Lopez had 20 points, Larry Nance Jr. with 14 and Jordon Clarkson with 18.

The game is slated to start tonight at 7 p.m. Arizona time and to be televised on FSAZ.

Here is a game update from Scott Bordow yesterday.

Update: The Lakers will be on the second end of a back-to-back, having played their season opener Thursday against the Los Angeles Clippers. This will be the Suns’ first look at Lakers point guard Lonzo Ball, who was the No. 2 pick in the draft, two spots ahead of Phoenix’s Josh Jackson. Alex Len, who missed Wednesday’s game with a sprained ankle, is expected to return. He should help defensively and on the boards after Portland outrebounded Phoenix 57-33.

When does the media finally tire of him?

Yeah sonny boy better get his act together or the media will have a field day. The "Ball brand" will be synonymous with tanking...

I know you have a smiley face there, but why do you think tanking will be synonymous with the Ball brand? Especially after only one game? I despise Lavar as well, but I don't think the Lakers will be in the tanking conversation until right before the all-star break. And even then, it won't be because of Lonzo or anything his idiot dad does.

Well Lonzo got shut down and Da Da can't hype that up. He needs something to hype up...like daily.

If we only win a few games this year, let it be over the Lakers in Phoenix

Troy Daniels?

Correct.

It looks like the Suns are serious about winning tonight by playing Len and Ulis coming off injuries.

Ulis does not look like the same player coming off reported minor surgery on his right ankle in the offseason.

Damn... the tank starts EARLY, huh?

I don't know...Bled might be a double agent. He tanks us during the game and when he sits out of the game.

His days may finally be numbered.

 

[Mainstreet]

If Bledsoe and Ulis cannot play significant minutes, Booker may be running the Suns offense along with James.

I wouldn't mind Booker playing some PG tonight. Also Bender and Jackson have some passing skills.

Len up against Lopez should be a good test.

The Suns start the same five.

Same starting five as opener: Bledsoe, Booker, Chandler, Warren, Jackson

 

[Mainstreet]

Watching Lonzo Ball and family should be a game in itself.

The Ball family is in town to face the #Suns for the first time, bringing an ever-full bag of drama with them

 

[Mainstreet]

I'm glad Josh Jackson is not a pitcher.
