So glad the Big3 era is done. Last year the Suns played absolutely disgusting basketball. Booker said that the last two years were by far the most difficult of his career. They were a team that you couldn't even root for simply because of the lack of effort and care. But I can say that it's so much fun to be a Suns fan again. Can't say enough good things about Ott and his entire staff. He's got a long and very successful career in front of him and in due time will for sure be considered one of the top tier head coaches in the league.
The Lakers won't get anywhere with jj Reddick and one way role players
as a suns fan all i can say thank you rockets
Luka needs to learn to pass other players to go one on one, not just when they are open. Giving others many games to get into rhythm not do it out of the blue.
That’s why I’m pro trade rui, do u kno how many times a guy like dfs Caruso or pre injury vando had 3 shot attempts or no points and still had a high impact game? A lot because they do all the little things and are high Iq players, Rui Iq is so low, and he doesn’t do the little things, if he’s not averaging an efficient 15 ppg, he’s useless, and with bron coming back he’s not gonna get that so I’m done with him hopefully we can trade him
Suns pantsed LA with their best three offensive players on the bench. Book (played 9 minutes), Green, and Allen were not needed to blow out LA. Would you rather play a back to back or sit your best three guys?
Luka's ballhogging and turnovers lost us that game.
When the suns get fully healthy they might be championship contenders
Get ready for a string of losses folks
Lakers 7 game winning streak was against sub 500 teams.
Do you think Luka getting used to playing for fun against bad teams instead of being more disciplined?
Great breakdowns as always
so when the Deni walks in and tell them there is zero chance i resign, wasn't asked and i have no desire to live in Portland, just what happens when the Deni says im getting 200 million no matter were i play its just not Portland , hum @jason
Dillon Brooks tried to hurt Steph's injured hand this last season in the playoffs… He hasn't changed he is still a very dirty player. Though I can't ignore that every team he goes to gets better and builds a personality.
Im panicking cuz jj can’t coach …. He didn’t use vando and adou thiwro in the game he NEEDED TO USE THEM
E X P O S E D
Gilespie isn’t just a catch and shoot player! He also can create his own shots for himself and others
Collin Gillespie is Reed Shepherd and Reed Shepherd is Collin Gillespie
The Lakers are about to hit reality. They are now going to have to play real teams with winning records.
Get ready to fall in the ranking.
It’s funny how your correct about Luka struggling and he still had 38-11-5. Crazy
Last year in the playoffs Brooks was intentionally hitting Steph on his injured finger whenever he shot and then admitted it in the post game interview. So he’s still a dirty player but at least now he has some skill.
Time to activate Slava Medvedenko
Bron should be benched for chitchatting with Suns players
Don’t forget they got thumped in Atlanta this season too
So Lakers got blown out after 7 straight wins. They can't win all of them. So chill😂
If the Lakers simply give Theiro all of Gabe's minutes, most of their problems will go away.
Remember when Bill Simmons said the suns would have the worst defense in the nba this season 😂😂😂
LAke 🟣🟡 Show Fan Here – 1) PHX Whooped Our Ass lead by “The 🦹🏽 Villain” and 2) PHX is gone be Top 3/4 in The West if Green soaks up “The Game” from Book – 26/27 or 27/28!!!
Laker's are fools gold. Lakers need to trade Reeves and Rui for a more athletic 2-3 and Rui for a wing. This team will not work with Austin and Luka at the guard spots. Lakers are just a regular season team, they won't be good in the playoffs.
19:20….we call it "alignment" in suns culture 😂😂
Bron is washed now. Should of retired 2 years ago
Exactly what is Lebron's role on the team because he looks out of sorts at times
Lebron was watching the game most of the game. Was not engaged. He watched Luka and AR shoot time after time and ignore him.
Luka struggled to read the defense
AR overmatched physically, athletically
Thanks for the great takes and stats. You sir are legit AF
Lebron James looking like Paul Pierce on the Clippers
Who the hell didnt think Mark Williams couldnt be a good defender? He is 7 feet and super athletic and fast at his size. Thats all you need dummy
What you mean Dillon Brook has turned his career around? He has been good everywhere he has gone dummy!
Why the heck am i watching Jason talk about Gillespie now ?
Coz Jason makes every 🏀 in game topic fun
My guy Miami is a top 4 team they’re not trading Wiggins unless they get Giannis
You look like white Jesus
Dillon Brooks being an all-star. You truly hate to see it.
the thing about “barring injuries” is the suns have been very injured so far this year. we’ll see how long book is out but there is still more ceiling for this team as they get healthy
Could Dillon Brooks be an All-Star?
Luka struggled at 38 points?
As a Laker fan, i couldn't stop laughing and lowkey enjoying the trolling from Dillon Brooks
As a casual NBA fan, I just knew Dillon Brooks as '"the guy who hits dudes in the balls," so imagine my surprise at tuning in and seeing him recast as "the best player on the court."
Ball sticks too much when Luca is on ball ..Rui had one field goal attempt in 29mins
Lakers suck on defense..if they down 10points ..it’s over, they never coming back against good teams like Suns or OKC
It's a Lebalco OK..? But this Lemedia servant will never dare to even touch it…
Nice to see some positive Suns talk
