The Lakers led by as many as 13 points in the first half, but the Suns fought back in the fourth quarter.

Yeah this Lebron guy is pretty good but I’m here for Russ and Bev’s excellent adventure.
You just lost to a team that lost to the Adelaide 36ers
It’s only preseason
36ers winning the west
so 36ers > lakers is what I’m gathering here
With this, the Lakers fall to the bottom of the NBL standings
Both of these teams have a laughably bad bench
At some point the Suns just decided they’d never lose to the Lakers again lol, even in meaningless preseason games
Surprised with the defensive effort the lakers are playing with
By the transitive property, this means the Lakers are worse than the 36ers
Lakers can’t beat a team who lost to the Adelaide 36ers lolz
Fun game
People are going to clown on them anyways
hope Cam Johnson is fine, that really sucks for him
AD sat out today due to back tightness, and Cam Johnson and Cam Payne both left the game early due to finger injuries.
The third stringers gave us an entertaining, but maybe a little sloppy, end to the game.
It’s been 496 days since the Lakers beat the Suns.
If you include preseason, regular season, and playoffs, the Suns have won 10 straight games vs LAL. W/o preseason, still 7 straight dubs
Booker bout to post the “Cleveland!! This is for you!!!” video on his IG story
Our rotation looks much more solid defensively than last year, Ham actually runs offensive sets that engage ball movement when last year it was run the clock and throw some bullshit every possession. I know we still lost but in terms of small sample size for the dudes who will see regular season minutes giving me hope I can’t ask for more.
3rd string bums were 3rd string bums and couldn’t buy a shot. Either way I’m feeling more excited over Lakers basketball than I’ve felt in a year.
does this mean LAL gets relegated to Australia instead of us
Starters looked good, should be competitive once rotations are set
Lakers looked pretty good with there actual rotation players
I wonder if Sun’s fans will still be talking about Australian basketball all the way to the trade deadline.
The seriousness that Pat Bev took the CP matchup in this pointless pre-season game had me sent lol
I’m jus here to say shamWET 💦
Statistically bad, but just watching the game, Russ looks way more comfortable here than 90% of the games he played last season, preseason included. Still needs to make the makeable layups, I only saw one, maybe two shots that no one would want to him to take.
36ers > Suns. Suns > Lakers. Therefore, 36ers > Lakers
Suns playing their starters against our bench players lmao
Dear Darvin Ham, the game was good but your last ATO really sucked and was stupid af
At the end of the day, Lebron still gotta wake up and be teammates with Russell Westbrook. All of the spacing and health issues he had when he woke up the day before, he’s still gotta face them.
Did the Lakers really score 2 points in the fourth? Like I know its deep bench at that point, but two points in a quarter is rough.
Monty has gotta figure out how to reconcile things with Ayton. Can’t keep having this vibe through the season.
If the Suns play like they did in the first three quarters in the regular season, they are lucky to end up in the play-in.
WE WANT ADELAIDE
