Lakers @ Suns Sunday game thread 2-25-2024

[Mainstreet]

Timeout with the Lakers closing Suns lead to 10 points.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns need their stars to shoot like stars. Durant is 2-6 and Booker is 3-7 from the field.

KD gets iso - backs his guy up until the double starts to come and he hits the open Okogie for 3 - who had plenty of time but instead pump fakes - dribbles toward the rim and spits it back out to a covered KD behind the 3 who air balls as the shot clock expires

Same yuck yuck okogie was doing last year

 

[Covert Rain]

Everybody looked confused on that Laker run.

 

[Mainstreet]

Needed that three by Allen.

 

[Covert Rain]

Royce got burned twice by LeBron.

 

[Mainstreet]

Durant should have passed to the open Allen.

 

[BirdGangThing]

Allen doesn't hesitate

 

[Covert Rain]

Durant is over dribbling.

 

[Mainstreet]

That's the idea. Allen with the three.

 

[Joe Mama]

I like JO, but in general I just don't think you can play him in a lineup that doesn't include 2/3 of the big three.

 

[Covert Rain]

Okogie has been worthless as of late.

 

[BirdGangThing]

Allen is camping out by KD today begging his man to go double - and it's working - Allen already has five 3pt attempts and has made three of them - this definitely qualifies as an adjustment

 

[Mainstreet]

Royce is a nice, versatile player but he doesn't have much size.

 

[Covert Rain]

Stone hands Nurk again.

 

[Chaplin]

Stone hands Nurk again.

The pass was behind him

 

[Mainstreet]

Bol Bol has 7 of the Suns 9 bench points. Lee has the other 2.

 

[BirdGangThing]

KD to Nurk like clockwork

 

[Mainstreet]

Nurkic is a difference maker when he is active.

 

[BirdGangThing]

That was on LeBron 100%

 

[Mainstreet]

Lebron is allowed to maul Booker.

 

[BirdGangThing]

O'Neale is for real

 

[BirdGangThing]

O'Neale is making all the 3s Gordon would've (4-5) plus he's got 4 rebounds in the first half

 

[Chaplin]

Good defense

 

[Mainstreet]

Lee for THREE.
