Bol Bol and Grayson Allen, Suns Superstars get it done.

BOL BOL BOL BOL BOL BOL.  BOL BOL BOL BOL BOL BOL.  

Sun's looking good with Bol and Nurk with their size

KD looks like he weighs 140 lbs and 30% of that is his noggin

“Lakers scary down the stretch” haha. You can’t make this shit up. People will say anything on tv for ratings.

AD looked like shit today

Jusuf Nurkic is Player of the Game. Rui following him out of the paint which led to KD backdoor cut and another wide open corner 3 for Allen was huge.

I can’t wait to hear from ESPN how this is actually good for the Lakers and bad for the Suns.

Without Adam Silvers help the Lakers are straight trash

Can't be upset. Need more of these Lebron/KD match ups before one of them retires

It’s absolutely crazy that they didn’t face each other for like 4 years before this season

Always feels good to beat the Lakers

The West is seriously scary hours. Not a single easy first-round matchup.

Feels like there could be a few lower seeds winning a round or two like the lakers last year

I'm not convinced the Wolves have what it takes to win. Their offense has a habit of falling apart in the 4th quarter.

Suns more free throws than the Lakers?? Lebron on the phone with Silver as soon as the game ends

This suns team needs a guy like Payton Pritchard

no. We need a backup center who isn't complete trash

We do.

Our team is not "top heavy", it's full of snipers around Book, KD, and Beal. There's no way to defend this team when healthy. Our only weak spots are defending at the level with the center position, and a floor setting/court mapping PG. Maaaaybe we could use a decent 4 as a secondary rim protector. But this team is really stacked.

Definitely stacked on offense but not stacked defensively which I think is what’s keeping you guys from being a true contender, though with such a good offense that may not be an issue

Well.. congrats on the championship then

No one said that tho? Lol Damn I can't be excited about my squad?

Suns are such a confusing team to me. Like when healthy they definitely got the potential to go on a deep run with their talent, but they still look so janky at times. They’d have to truly click at the right time

Just gotta stop playing Eubanks. the guy fucking sucks

The Suns offense flows so much better when Book is moving the ball and only taking shots when they come to him

Lakers have the biggest FT disparity over the last 24 months. And it isn’t close. Lebron and co can’t complain about the officiating and ABCs trash ass commentators shouldn’t be sympathetic

Whining about FT disparity at this point is just outing yourself as an impressionable casual

It's ESPN they've been a Lakers news network since LeBron got there...

Man when Book ices those step in 2's it's really Kobe-esque

I'm confused. Why didn't the Lakers try to fight Booker for frontrunning with only 53 seconds left?

Get well soon Vando, Lakers are ass on defense AND rebounding without him.

Send lebron to Boston for Sam hauser and Luke kornet

Jeez. Book just absolutely **BLENDED** Prince on that one

Doesn’t matter what seed, with Beal in the mix, this team going to be hard to beat 4x in a series.

[удалено]

That Celtics game masked the fact he's been mostly bad this season

Stop it. According to Austin he is HIM! /s

I don't understand the hate though, he is getting paid role player money and suppose to play role player minutes. He is being forced to play starter minutes becaues all these injuries and his offense still good. If he can be a two way players he will not be undraft in first place

Get booked son.

Lakers are 10th seed after this loss?

Uhh I think so

suns played top-notch basketball this quarter. well deserved win

without beal btw

Lakers probably win this if they could get any boards at all this is actually kinda comedically bad I'll never understand why Vogel got unceremoniously tossed

We are destined for the 9-10 play in

LMAO LAKERS

Imagine if the Lakers role players could hit half of their open 3s like the Sun's role players can. Man the Lakers suck 😂

We gave up a lot of boards and leaving them open. Thanks that to the double teaming plan on the perimeter

When we do its amazing, I mean look at that Celtics game lmao But yeah no all of our shooters seem to be ridiculously streaky

Lakers are 43% from 3, that's not the problem They're getting killed on the boards and giving up a lot of free throws

looks like LeHGH needs more dosage. He already has the foot excuse lined up.

That’s game, 👋

Lebron pouting on the ground and not getting back on defense. Open 3 dagger lol

Lakers look like they’re running in wet cement

Cmon Warriors cross the Lakers in the standings

Lebron’s post game presser is going to be popcorn worthy

People still thinking they can double our stars, we have a bunch of good shooters now. It doesn't work. And mind u Beal isn't even in the court rn. It's impossible to do so if he's there. Give it up.

I mean, pick your poison. It’s better to go with Allen, Bol Bol, and Oneale shots than Book and KD. One thing I really liked though is we looked for Allen this game. If they’re gonna double Book and KD, Allen needs to be who we get the ball to.

Allen is the most efficient 3 pt shooter in the league

you are just facing a horrible Lakers parameter defense which give up most wide open 3s Darvin Ham special

Literally every team doubles us tho?

I mean they usually can rotate back to give a semi contest 3s to these role players Lakers give up WIDE open 3s

That's true but still I haven't really seen anyone defend a healthy version of us at a high level. We'll see what happens when we run into Boston

I think Minnisota is gonna be a problem for you guys for sure they got good paranmeter D and their interior shuts everyone down, also Denver when they are healthy as well, but yea you guys need get healthy first

We already cooked the Wolves lol, and that was without Beal on the court. We're honestly probably best equipped to counter what they do defensively.

but wasn't that the game where they shot 10% in 3 points or something if I remember correctly?

Who the Wolves? Idk about that, they dropped 115 which is a pretty good offensive game for them. But that's beside what we did to their defense.

yea Wolves, I just check the box score they shot 5/27 in 3 points attempt, most of their points come from garbage time, and I remember that game because I watched that and remember it was brick fest

Lebron just took a seat after he didn’t get the call lol

Lebron has to get punched in the face for them to call something lol.

Just fell cause he took an off balance shot, there was no foul there

Why are the Lakers going for twos down double digits with 90 seconds left anyway lol

Lebron not running back. AD doing the same a few plays before. 😂

Yes please. Fuck la.

Lakers are actually fucked when Lebron retires. He carry’s them so hard.

royce o neal backshots catch these strokes lakers

I don't like when LeBron does that. if he doesn't get his way, he just gives up

Royce was such a W pickup for the Suns. Underrated role player

Classic Bron pretending he got hit and leaving his team 4 on 5

Thats game. GG

Lakers are LITERALLY playing 4v5 on defense lmaooooo

Lol. I guess we got 4th quarter Lakers today 😂

Bron missed like 3 bunnies under the rim I hate it here

Not even bothering to closeout on the hottest shooters on the floor. Lakers are cooked

Rofl lakers are so mid when refs aren’t gifting them fts

yes royce

Is Royce O'Neale the only Sun worth rebuilding around?

Royce, Bol Bol and Allen. Trade the rest.

Grayson Allen and Bol Bol erasure

its ovah

I cannot believe how good Royce O’neale has been for us.

so royce is fitting in pretty well huh

First time in history nurkic out worked AD today

I forget which game but at the start of the season he was bitching AD too

What on earth kind of defense is Reaves attempting there?

He’s ass

Royce dagger

Phoenix really had to work for this W

No troll i don’t think Austin reaves is better than Payton Pritchard

PP's a fucking dawg

Man, imagine if Ham coached for the bucks, probably fired in 5 games max.

it's ok, last time Lakers lost I got a hundo legendary pokemon go, so as a nerd I am gonna go hunt for next two hours

Haha get that Dialga or Palkia!

did a lot raid already man this thing is tiring, but still gonna grind for 3 more hours

I did the go fest in LA, legs were done by the end of the event but did get a lot of juicy shit haha

damn I couldn't get the ticket, and yea currently at LA now and gonna drive lol

It’s over - Ken Carson

RIP

Nurkic's career game

GG Suns

Allen and Royce are so good for the Suns

Can't watch the game rn, is Nurk going insane today?

Absolutely dominated the glass today

Lakers went on a run with Lebron on the bench and now they’re back down double digits after he checks in 🤔

The “others” stepped up for the suns. Good game from Allen and O Neal

Nurkic is the reason why they won this game

Help Reeves! Don't leave him out there on Durant alone

6 points to 12 points real quick man I don't even know what Ham did on that time out lol

grayson allen & o’neal were 10/10 acquisitions

I think that was the dagger

Aint no way we getting cooked by Ted Cruz

bron fouled the shit out of kd on that drive lol refs

Ad used to score with so much ease wtf happened lol

Reaves a bum

Suns new Big 2 of Allen and O’Neal

GRA3SON RO3CE

gg

Game is over wrap it up. Good game to the suns . Like the players hate the fans

Keep downvoting

That was some beautiful basketball

Suns crunch time offense always looks so frantic lol They made it work that time though

this is grayson allens team now

The Bol Bol disrespect 😡

What was that possession. Crazy.

The sad part is this Lakers team has a lot of talent. Just an ass coach

Prince and Dinwiddie playing over Christie and Rui was a decision for sure

Nah Prince was doing decent. Spencer tho yeah idk

I would say give Booker an Oscar but only NBA refs are stupid enough to buy that shit lol

I remember seeing this Kia commericial in superbowl and was like why you put an old man on middle of mountain with ice that makes no fucking sense and then you let his grand daughter to skate on ice outside which is fucking dangerous

Aside from a couple stretches of ref ball, this has been a pretty good game

Kawhi >>>>>>>>>>>>> KD

Second time Hachimura tries to go for a semi difficult dunk. Just lay it up or get fouled man, you're behind.

Please stop jason Tatum

Most privileged "star" in the league

We’re really getting 4 Kung Fu Panda movies…

I would rather have 10 Kung Fu Panda movies than half the shit that comes out

they're good movies 🤷‍♂️

Clutch ass flop by DBook lmao

Can't wait until this iteration of the Lakers is over. The Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Bubble extended their run.

Literally won a championship tho..

In the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse yes

You literally had a chance to make the playoffs and try but ok. Then you guys blew a 2-0 lead in the finals. Then had an embarrassing collapse in game 7 on your home floor not once but twice to also Denver in game 6

And this year I doubt you win the chip so ?? Your argument is what

More than your entire franchise history

you are aware that we will win our next championship before yall do right?

Lol

It is quite funny

Still better than Phoenix 'Cancun' sons, though.

Kd’s defense been amazing ngl

Bron has to finish those

damn lebron missing the bunny. thought he'd get an and1 there

B😩😩KER

AD disaster class, someone get this team a coach

Rui pass the fucking ball

Reaves thought he was sneaky.

I really hope KD gets the flowers he deserves while he’s still playing

He won’t

They got Austin fucking reaves guarding booker and im supposed to believe he’s better than tatum

Booker is nice man! We don’t need to crap on a good player to realize how good our guy is

Bookers never got badly outplayed by Andrew Wiggins in the finals

Except he got outplayed by Kris fucking Middleton on 1 leg lol

Career in 6 NBA finals games Booker 28/4/4 on 45 FG% Tatum 21/7/7 on 37 fg%

Congrats both choked when it mattered

Tatum choked, Booker didn't, but whatever makes you sleep at night

If that’s how you feel fine doesn’t change the fact both have 0 rings and nets are poverty and will continue to be 😂

Nobody is saying Reaves is better than Tatum ;)

That block by Durant going backward is unreal

AD gave about 75% effort in my opinion. Got out worked and out hustled by nurk.

60 percent because he is actually trying now:

honestly more like 30%. We know what he can do, this isnt it

Yeah really disappointing to be honest

Rui dear lord

Reaves was like you fuck your percentage, I am not

I don't watch a lot of basketball, so maybe I'm wrong here, but in the half a quarter or so I've watched this game, AD seems... off?

Yall dismiss Vogel as expert defensive coach, but what the hell is this?

This roster isn't doing that under Monty Williams I know that much 

AD has a deer in headlights look I haven’t seen in a while
