Suns @ Lakers

[Nike D'Antoni]

Per one tweet DeAndre Jordan is starting alongside Russell Westbrook, LeBron James, and Anthony Davis in the year of our lord 2021.

He is noticeable hole.

[PP34Deuce]

Whether it's the system or not.. Ayton has soft touch but they refuse to let him get one on one opportunities especially against DJ.

[bison]

Lebron needs to turn the tables and settle for being a spot up shooter from now on. He can’t get to the rim anymore.

[bison]

DJ can’t rim protect anymore. Would rather AD play center with Dwight backing up

[PP34Deuce]

I think lebron recognizes it's a marathon not a race. He's easing into it

[Nike D'Antoni]

8 minutes into the game and Deandre Jordan still playing

[PP34Deuce]

Lebron looks rusty.

Westbrook being the pg is an adjustment but it keeps him engaged.

[LBJ]

We miss Ariza, Nunn, THT, and Ellington. We are short in rotation.

[Nike D'Antoni]

Libron 3 fouls

[LBJ]

How much did the Suns pay the refs tonight? They are getting every call.

[LBJ]

Fans are chanting referees suck. Vogel went nuts on refs.

[bladefd]

Flop Paul trying to sell a flop and fails :facepalm

[Nike D'Antoni]

CARMELO's defense is abysmal. He keeps giving cushion for Chris Paul to knock them down.

[bison]

Monk might be lakers 4th best player on the roster

[bison]

CARMELO's defense is abysmal. He keeps giving cushion for Chris Paul to knock them down.

Melo is definitely a downgrade from Kyle kuzma.

[RRR3]

Melo is definitely a downgrade from Kyle kuzma.
Melo shouldn’t even be in the league I’m shocked the Blazers gifted him a second chance.

[KOBEtherealKing]

This lakers team just isn’t good. Not sure this team gets to the finals. Hopefully melo doesn’t get as many minutes.

[RRR3]

This lakers team just isn’t good. Not sure this team gets to the finals. Hopefully melo doesn’t get as many minutes.
Lol they’ll be lucky to get to the second round with Westbrook. If they get rid of him for someone like George Hill they’ll have a good chance to make the finals assuming Vogel plays smart lineups (he probably won’t though, took him forever to do it in 2020).

[outofstomach]

This lakers team just isn’t good. Not sure this team gets to the finals. Hopefully melo doesn’t get as many minutes.they won’t, and the blame will fall on lebron’s team as per usual

[Nike D'Antoni]

Dwight Howard and Anthony Davis ahold continue their sideline fight for the Top 75 spot.

[Kobe_Bryant]

sun's are still lebrons daddy

[Nike D'Antoni]

Lakers are 0-7 including the preseason. They will be 0-8 if they lose this. And egos will start clashing if losses rack up.

[StrongLurk]

Lakers just lack way too much shooting ability and they are way too old...these are things that coaching/playing harder can't fix.

This is not a modern NBA team while the Suns clearly are.

[bison]

Lakers probably a 7 seed team. They’ve really downgraded their defense

[lakerstekkenn]

Franks offense spacing is terrible and the prime young players energy is running the older Lakers out of the building, the Suns are speeding up the game, the Lakers don't know what to do they are big and slow.

[Kobe_Bryant]

I guess lebron didn't get the memo about them getting rid of baiting fouls on screens

[Nike D'Antoni]

Lakers alley-oops to DeAndre Jordan doesnt work out because he cannot jump. Even Howard & Melo missed an alley-oop too. They cannot jump.

[lakerstekkenn]

Before two years ago the Lakers had better younger players that could shoot, now these players aren't as good, it's going to be a long season, either Frank gets fired or the teams offense and defense gets better and they take off, right now the Lakers look like Miami when the big three first got together struggling, but James was prime, Russell isn't being used right and the offense is predictable and terrible just iso James and Davis ball.

[Kobe_Bryant]

Jalen rose hairline needs that "youre doing too much" black guy. Molly got this dude goin too far for that p*ssy

[Nike D'Antoni]

When will Lebron - Westbrook lose hope of throwing lobs to Jordan?

[Nike D'Antoni]

CP3 is abusing DeAndre Jordan.

[Nike D'Antoni]

Lakers are down 20, and 0 - 7 from preseason going to 0-8. This is time to hit the panic button for them

[bladefd]

This is what happens when you acquire players based primarily on their past reputation like Melo and getting players as flawed as Westbrook, thinking it will be different this time.

[RRR3]

Not like Westbrook is in his prime either lol

[Charlie Sheen]

Russell Westbrook has taken more bad shots than Alec Baldwin

[Nike D'Antoni]

Davis 2-10 only 6 points, Westbrook 9 points. Poor games for both.

[Indian guy]

This is what a FO abomination looks like.

[PP34Deuce]

The warriors game was a choke for them. This game is against a really good team and they get blown out.

I'm not too worried bout a blow out. Vogel seems like he's trying to figure out what rotations work. Lebron other than the jumper seems like he's trying to adjust and pace.

Missing glue pieces is hurting them. Ellington spacing ajd iq will help.

[Patrick Chewing]

Embarrassing performance by the Lakers. LeQuit quitting on teammates already.

[Nike D'Antoni]

Lebron stayed backcourt, and never went forward for the offense.

[PP34Deuce]

Lakers def getting hosed on calls but the crying to refs isn't helping them

[Axe]

Still no hand stands for bran stans :(

[PP34Deuce]

Suns getting in that ass... run it up. They playing hard.

[Kobe_Bryant]

This is what a FO abomination looks like.

agreed. Lebron is an abomination

[ImKobe]

Lebron for Kevin Love, who says no?

[PP34Deuce]

Which vets do you think will be gone?

Dwight, Melo, Rondo, or Jordan?

Team needs spacing in the worst way.

[jmcwilliams]

Russell Westbrook has taken more bad shots than Alec Baldwin

Way too soon, lol

[Kobe_Bryant]

so rondo can put his finger in a guys face and do a gun gesture but the guy can't slap his finger away?

hes literally gesturing that he's gonna kill the guy lol

[Nike D'Antoni]

I think eventually Lebron will ask to be traded to a team to fight for a championship. Maybe Miami Heat.

Nobody is trading for Melo, Howard, Rondo, Jordan.

[Kobe_Bryant]

Lebron for Kevin Love, who says no?

lebron for lillard. Westbrook for simmons. Dwight for whoever that fan was that just got kicked out

[Sportal]

It is two games... But man... Surely this isn't how it is going to be for the season, right?

[HBK_Kliq_2]

Lakers suck ass.

Dwight would also pick up anthony davis over his head and throw him 30 feet, who's that skinny shit fooling.

[G0ATbe]

Lakers aiming to be the worst 3pt shooting, free throw shooting and defensive team in the league:applause:. Hopefully bron can work that midseason trade magic and fix pelinkas mess.

[Kobe_Bryant]

lebron still in the game getting those garbage points. what else is new

[Indian guy]

Westbrook doesn't just struggle to shoot, he's not much of a finisher either.

[Nike D'Antoni]

Westbrook doesn't just struggle to shoot, he's not much of a finisher either.

Lebron also not finishing well, he is hitting jumpers only. That's why if you check scoring in the paint, the Lakers are sucking.

[outofstomach]

lebron still in the game getting those garbage points. what else is new

#longevity

[jmcwilliams]

lebron still in the game getting those garbage points. what else is new

Pretty sure he is on the floor learning to compete with his new team.

[SATAN]

If LeBron wins with this team that would make him better than Michael and Kareem combined.

[SATAN]

This ****ing game. :facepalm

AD is acting real weird

[Sportal]

Pretty sure he is on the floor learning to compete with his new team.

The guy that is oblivious to stuff like this has never played a sport in their life.

[jmcwilliams]

Why is lebron the only one that can make A shot? It's like A trash filled hurricane is swirling around him yet he just does his thing. This would be A good time not to pass the ball. AD cant seem to make A simple layup.

[HBK_Kliq_2]

This ****ing game. :facepalm

AD is acting real weird

in 2 season he needs to come to a real LA team with an actual star in his prime, The La Clippers.

I'll have to tweet him about this.

[jmcwilliams]

This ****ing game. :facepalm

AD is acting real weird

Aggressive in the wrong way. Not aggressively making shots, just aggressively pisses everyone off.

[Airupthere]

What a shot by cp3

[SATAN]

That's bullshit

[lakerstekkenn]

James isn't winning anything anymore he's done it's not his time anymore and Davis doesn't have the right players to be effective they can't shoot once he makes his post move the defense is waiting for the pass to the three point line because the players aren't cutting to the basket to help Davis out.

[SATAN]

in 2 season he needs to come to a real LA team with an actual star in his prime, The La Clippers.

I'll have to tweet him about this.

:oldlol:

[Nike D'Antoni]

Austin Reaves defo needs to play for LA.

[PP34Deuce]

Suns have really got great guard depth. Them and denver are set...

Lakers are adjusting. While lebron driving skills have declined it looks more like hes trying to play more off ball so westbrook can control pace.

[PP34Deuce]

If you are a laker fan you have to appreciate how hard the guys played despite playing bad early on.

[SATAN]

LA could have easily won this game if AD and Dwight weren't wasting floor space for so much of the game.

[RRR3]

Brook the Builder 6-15, 0-3 on 3s, 3-8 on FTs, 15 points. Yikes. Stick a fork in him boys.

[Nike D'Antoni]

I think Step one will be dumping DeAndre Jordan. And having Austin Reaves be a starter, Reaves is a great to catch and shooter. Works so well with Westbrook & Lebron on the court.


Davis
Lebron
Bazemore
Reaves
Westbrook

[jmcwilliams]

If you are a laker fan you have to appreciate how hard the guys played despite playing bad early on.

I agree they stayed on the floor and turned it into A respectable loss.

[hold this L]

[bladefd]

AD was crap most of the game. Bazemore, Bradley, Monk were a net negative on the floor. Westbrook was playing extremely hard, but playing hard isn't a replacement for average skills. Dwight barely played, but what the heck happened with him/AD?

[RRR3]

https://c.tenor.com/fWg9gm1CrdYAAAAd/lebron-james-crying.gif
Lmao dude was my guy back in the day but forgetting how to shoot FTs ruined him.

[hold this L]

Kuz is playing a special kinda petty.

https://twitter.com/kylekuzma/status/1451756059832504325


Lakers fought very hard not to get blown out by 30-40 though. I feel like a Suns Lakers 1st round rematch would be incredible for the playoffs.

It would be incredible for the Suns that’s for sure.

and a worse playmaker + driver than lebron, no idea why they got him

[Nike D'Antoni]

Lakers were being outscored in the paint by 36 points at one point ( 48 - 12). The Lakers have no business not scoring in the paint with Westbrook, Lebron, Davis, Howard.

[Nike D'Antoni]

The Lakers are 0-12 since Andre Drummond did this

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FCW0y6pWEAcUX0Y?format=jpg&name=medium

[Druckenmiller]

Laker fans prior to season: we have 14 Hall of Famers on this team!.

Lakers fans after two bumrushings: We need moar Help!

[LBJ]

Refs ruined the game

[dreamshake]

Westbrook had a near triple double. Lakers would've been blown out without Westbrook.

[Lakers Legend#32]

Hopefully we can get something in a Westbrook trade.

[bullettooth]

I hope the entire Lakers roster stays as is for the remainder of the season. I want to see this circus play out and watch the team and Lakers fans implode. Would be really entertaining.

[ZenMaster]

Hopefully we can get something in a Westbrook trade.

Buddy Hield would be nice.
