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

Fine as long as we can keep Brooks from adding to his T collection in the process.

I'm waiting to see if BirdGangThing can step up.

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

Hope you can suit up tonight. You can be Dillon the Villain 3. Need someone to take Lebron out of his game.

Can't afford to lose Brooks or Gillespie.

It’s a home game against a team down its best player. Gotta get this one.

Yes we do but it wasn't that many years ago that our heavily favored Suns lost to a Nets team that was reduced to using mostly G Leaguers and undrafteds.

When we're mostly healthy and Williams is a factor at both ends, we can beat just about anyone.

 

[Chaplin]

For the most part, we've beaten the teams we should beat this season. So I like our chances.

Lakers fans are insufferable in our arena. Glad I'll be watching from home tonight.

They were louder than the Suns fans in the last home meeting.

Other than BIM, indeed, they are intolerable.

I know. I was there.

Good to see Isaiah Livers out there shooting.

Let's get these cats. Is Reaves playing? Would be great if Devin Booker was showing some fire and tried to outplay the other teams best player. Show me some life.

 

[Proximo]

Chalk up another loss. We don't have enough fire power or size. They can't seem to maintain the effort they had at the start of the season. Merry Christmas!

Oh please.

We should have won the last game against them, now they don't have Luka.

If Suns lose this they have serious issues.

Suns Rule Out Starter vs Lakers

The Phoenix Suns will be without a key starter for another game tonight against the Los Angeles Lakers. The Suns (15-13) ruled out Grayson Allen with right knee injury management after he was listed as doubtful on last night's injury report.

I called it before I heard Luka was out. They need to win this game, I agree. Run Lebron to the ground.

Many teams have one key player who is the team's "heart and soul," whom the rest of the team takes cues from.

Sorry, but the player who molds the Lukas isn't Luka Doncic, it's still lebron james. An embarrassingly old, increasingly less effective superstar who gets preferential treatment by the league. The way james was acting cantankerous last game now makes me think of Grampa Simpson. And his team simply resembles him: an over-rated group which is high in the standings only because the NBA wants it to be, as befits the size of Los Angeles as a market.

Kick their butt , Suns, so they can go home and take a nap. I kind of wish james would get into it with fans at the Suns' arena, so I could snicker and say "Old Man Yells at Crowd." (Yes, I admit I think I'm funny.)

Devin had 38 points, 5 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks in his last outing against the Warriors. The problem is not Booker.
