Lakers @ Suns Tuesday game thread, December 23rd, 2025

[Yuma]

Williams daps up Brooker on the interview, Williams looked genuinely happy

I bet he is so much happier in Phoenix.

 

[Mainstreet]

I love the Suns guards: Booker, Gillespie, Allen, Goodwin and Bouyea.

Brea might be good as well further down the line.

Of course we haven't seen much of Green.

 

[Yuma]

The thing to watch will be whether Dillon Brooks learned anything from the last game, or whether he's all talk,.

HE LEARNED.

book 11 assists gillespie 8 assists but more importantly book got to the line and gillespie just gillespie'd 4 for 8 from 3 with 3 steals

 

[Phrazbit]

Khaman don’t look good there

He’s a big without handles. There is no one in to give him the ball. The end of blowouts is like summer league, chaotic and meaningless.

I’d like for him to look better, but if he’s only getting the ball 12 feet away, he’s not going to do much.

When we dump Richards hopefully he will see some minutes that are not garbage time.

I don't understand how NHD can look so bad on offense after what he did overseas.

Yeah, he’s been really bad. They gave him a lot of opportunity early in the year and he was awful.

I suspect he’s at the top of our waiver wire.

 

[Yuma]

Williams outplayed Ayton tonight.

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

merry christmas asfn wear it in good health

[BooksOrangePlanet]

our pick is going to be so bad they're going to trade it back to us

 

[Mainstreet]

In addition to Collin Gillespie, Jamaree Bouyea was quite the find at point guard.

Williams outplayed Ayton tonight.

he played harder

 

[Mainstreet]

Yeah, he’s been really bad. They gave him a lot of opportunity early in the year and he was awful.

I suspect he’s at the top of our waiver wire.

The problem of course, he likely has a negative value. If only the Suns could include him in a trade.

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

damn that was nice - lakers with no luka are toothless - suns without book can still get it done

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

i don't understand the nhd mystery - it's still basketball at the end of the day but my best guess is it's mental because he's more than able

 

[Yuma]

i don't understand the nhd mystery - it's still basketball at the end of the day but my best guess is it's mental because he's more than able

From his highlights in Europe versus what we have seen here, he's been super bad on offense. He misses threes by a mile. I don't know why he's having such difficulty.

 

[Phrazbit]

i don't understand the nhd mystery - it's still basketball at the end of the day but my best guess is it's mental because he's more than able

He was “The guy” on his euro teams and he doesn’t seem to know how to play off the ball or have the skill to break down NBA players off the dribble.

dtv complained about the first call of the game against lebron - i heard dtv yell at goody - heard him yell at the ball to "get the **** out" during a missed free throw - other than that that was about it - he did his talking outscoring lebron who was awfully quiet tonight

 

[AzCardsfan76]

It’s so cool to watch and listen to Coach Ott in these postgame pressers. He’s a smart dude, the team obviously is connected to him as well, and obviously to each other with him as a head coach.

yeah he said it was the team deciding in the locker room they wanted to force the lakers to take the first time out in the second half - that was cool

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns had six players in double figure scoring.

How slick is this pass from Royce O'Neale to Mark Williams.
