Lakers @ Suns Monday game thread, October 28th, 2024

[Mainstreet]

The Suns defense has been solid less Nurkic.

dunn comes back in - oneale - plumlee and dunn

bud definitely wants some defense right now

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

oso is the only one quick enough (and tall enough) to mess with ad but i don't think he'd fare any better

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

dunn is back in the bench now - came in for about a minute?

 

[Mainstreet]

Royce goes boom with a three.

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

suns within 3 again post-nurk

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

beal scores - then steals inbound pass on our end

 

[Yuma]

oso is the only one quick enough (and tall enough) to mess with ad but i don't think he'd fare any better

No one can. He's scored 30 in every game so far this season. If Oso stayed down like he did against Luka, he could at least not foul out.

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

ad was just holding his back

SUNS TAKE THE LEAD

 

[Mainstreet]

Booker gives the Suns a 2 point lead.

Nice job getting a lead by half! Nurk just can’t play against lakers.

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

look at the +/- by nurk (played 10 minutes)

Royce playing well.

 

[Yuma]

Holy Sh@t! Nurkic -21, Plumlee +23 in plus minus....

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns have done a good job of putting pressure on the ball from behind, even when the defender is beat by the offensive player.

They have been pests tracking the ball down.

 

[Proximo]

oso is the only one quick enough (and tall enough) to mess with ad but i don't think he'd fare any better

He’d get killed.

 

[Proximo]

Holy Sh@t! Nurkic -21, Plumlee +23 in plus minus....

That’s what my eyes told me, so not surprised.

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

He’d get killed.

yup but he wouldn't beaten up and down the court by an aging 7 footer - oso is fast

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Only 7 assists at half. That’s not good

 

[GatorAZ]

Walker Kessler you ARE a Phoenix Sun.

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

Only 7 assists at half. That’s not good

tyus gives it up at mid court for some reason - just brings the ball up and sits during offensive sets

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

look at the +/- by nurk (played 10 minutes)

look at everybody's +/-

nurk dropped everyone's down except for plumlee and oneale who get to play without nurk on the court

that's just crazy

 

[Mainstreet]

Tyus is a pest on defense, always chasing after the ball.
