Suns @ Lakers Friday game thread, October 3rd, 2025: Preseason

[Mainstreet]

Allen is smiling and looking like his old self.

 

[95pro]

Goodwin finds Maluach

 

[Mainstreet]

Khaman fouled or it would have been a layup.

 

[95pro]

I get Butler is trying to make it somewhere but he has tunnel vision on the offensive end.

 

[95pro]

Really surprised we are seeing Fleming this late in the game.

 

[Mainstreet]

Really surprised we are seeing Fleming this late in the game.

Any particular reason?

 

[Proximo]

Really surprised we are seeing Fleming this late in the game.

Meaning you didn’t expect him to play at all, or be more in the rotation?

He’s really raw currently, I don’t think he will get a lot of playing time for a while.

 

[Mainstreet]

Man Man reenters the game.

 

[Mainstreet]

Fleming gets the basket down low.

 

[Mainstreet]

Now Man Man gets the DUNK.

He’s really raw currently, I don’t think he will get a lot of playing time for a while.

Thought he would be more ready to play earlier in a game like this.

He reminds me of KBD in his body movement and size.

 

[ProdigalSun]

Nice Oop to the Rookie!!!

 

[ProdigalSun]

Fleming looks the part physically. Hopefully he can mentally get there at some point this season

 

[95pro]

Fleming and Maluach are on the board.

 

[Mainstreet]

Butler looks solid.

 

[95pro]

Maluach showing more down low presence than Ayton.

 

[95pro]

Butler looks solid.

I don’t like his game honestly, he’s playing like it’s summer league where’s he mostly looking for himself.

 

[Mainstreet]

Final:

Suns 103 - Lakers 81

 

[ProdigalSun]

Maluach also looks so much bigger than I remember in Summer league. Didn’t look half bad out there either

 

[BirdGangThing]

not terrible - maluach is going to take awhile but he's got some bully in him which is good for us

 

[95pro]

Maluach also looks so much bigger than I remember in Summer league. Didn’t look half bad out there either

He looks less lumbering for sure
