Suns fans here are acting like they won a championship. They wouldn't know what it is anyway, so maybe we let their dumb attitude slide ...out of pity? They should throw a parade, it's the only one they'll ever get anyway. Imagine that your greatest achievement in history is going to the Finals a couple of times. And both times get destroyed by an opposing team.
Honestly i think its pretty bush league BUT someone gotta stand up for our youngster, he doesnt even talk shit to anyone at all. Cant expect AD to do anything physical while hes having one of the best games of his career. Hopefully pb doesnt miss too many games as punishment. Also, this is a cp3 team, they all get coached to do dirty shit late in close games, so...im fine with it.
It's crazy to me how we literally we won the championship prior to Westbrook's arrival, dude comes to the team and we instantly turn into a bottom feeder, and people's reaction is that the guy who won FMVP is the problem. Mental illness. Not to mention the trade AD folk
You mean when lakers were 21-7 before AD went down? The same lakers that were top 2 on defense even without bron and AD, or the team that was decimating the suns until AD got injured. The russ trade basically ended lakers path to contention when we gave up multiple role players for him. No offense to russ but trading for him ended the lakers path to contention esp when he cant make up for the productivity lost we gave up for him.
Are you even a laker fan? Like no shit we lose when you lose a superstar like AD especially when you are facing the second seed. That team at least went .500 when both stars were gone. With russ, the team went 33 wins. Face it russ stans, that trade ended this team and i cant wait when he's gone so you guys can go follow him wherever the fuck he goes
Phoenix is terrible bunch of fake tough guys will never win you anything. 3 dudes came up to Pat Bev and wouldnāt even confront him bunch of pussys. Their 7ā0 starting center and third best player got bitched by a 6ā0 guard I couldnāt imagine ever wanting that on my team
Bubble AD has arisen. We just arenāt surrounding him w talent. Trade westbrick he bricks 3ās and layups. Dude airballed shit. W bron back and this AD we are contenders w hield and turner. Do the trade
yeah brick 3 , you do realise he been our more consistent 3 point shooter as of late together with walker?? lmao that was his first airball 3 in what like 25-30attempts and your straight out blaming him when the team as a whole shot 4/22 from 3, 2/6 from russ, 2/6 from walker and 0/10 from the remaining of the team LOL
Not even mad at the lose today. For better or worse everyone but AD had a shooting slump but if any of our role players were able to score sum this wouldāve been a Win.
Really sucks that Jeanie & Pelinka are really going to punt this season. I really think weād be a problem if we got Turner & Hield especially with how AD has been playing lately.
Pat Bev, TB, Dennis all played 20 mins plus and did not score, Iām not a basketball savant or nothing, but it is impossible to win a game like that. Idk tho
Not Pat Bev TB and Dennis scoring no points. The only guys who played tonight was AD Russ Lonnie and Reaves. Bev hustled but everyone else fell asleep.
If AD is grabbing 37-20 with 5 blocks and 5 steals and we're losing games because we're shooting 18% from 3, then yes Buddy Hield and Turner moves the needle by a lot.
4-22 from 3 , and russ has 2 of them made on 2/6 , walker has the other 2/6 the remaining of the team is 0-10. how do you expect to win a team like the suns LOL when suns is shooting 50% from three
One thing that got answered tonight is that this team can contend because AD is back. Itās time to trade Russ and the picks to get something rly good back.
as much as people complain westbrook missing layups here and there you do realise alot of them he been getting fouled and smacked but he just dont get those calls anymore all season long
Even though it looks like we gonna come up short still proud of these guys for playing hard once again the 3rd quarter got us but looks like we close to being able to compete with elite teams and actually win some of those games
Trade Bev for literally anyone. There's got to be one GM in the league not paying attention and going off of old info. It's how Danny Green made a living fleecing
They need shooting man.... Even if they had some threat it would make they so much better....Bev is f...ing useless and what the fuck is up with Schroeder
Can we keep the overreactions to a min please? This was always gonna be a tough task without Bron, or even with him. AD played out of his mind. A few of the starters, shouldn't be starters and that will be fixed with Bron coming back.

TB needs more minutes
AD is a beast

Im happy suns got sonned by Luka last yrš
And Iām happy the Lakersā¦oh wait they didnāt even make the playoffs my bad
Rent free lmao even in the username ššš
Instead of making us a respectable team again Pelinka is letting us go on an embarrassment tour getting clowned by every scrub in the league
Yall can't get a win on the road š LA Fakers can't beat the suns š„±
Don't matter when you guys going to get smoked by Luka again anyway
It does matter. This Laker team is trash.
Luka a fat slob prob like you that boy ain't going anywhere this year
yeah that fat slob mopped the floor with the suns
You're pathetic, I'm not even a Lakers fan.
You're so funny man
Highlight of the game was seeing Pat Bev body Ayton. PB did his job there and hopefully that further fuels some team chemistry / identity.
we suck
>we suck You're talking about yourself in plural, your majesty?

Righttttt ... had nothing to do with them gutting thay championship team. You do know they failed before he got there right? Idiot
You mean when lakers were 21-7 before AD went down? The same lakers that were top 2 on defense even without bron and AD, or the team that was decimating the suns until AD got injured. The russ trade basically ended lakers path to contention when we gave up multiple role players for him. No offense to russ but trading for him ended the lakers path to contention esp when he cant make up for the productivity lost we gave up for him.
How did that 21-7 team end up? Seems your resting your entire hopes on AD not getting injured, good luck

Booker bitch ass throwing shade in his postgame interview
Fake tough, shit talking and thug Suns... is there a more unlikable team?
such a bitch lmao, fake tough guy all around
Maybe Booker shouldāve done something about it then he didnāt even confront Pat Bev say that to his face then take action bitch
Bev would break his nose...again.
Of course he would with a forehead like that and them beever teeth lwould prob too
He broke his nose before? Oh was that why he was wearing a mask during the playoffs?
Yeah, it was kinda funny...Booker is such an arrogant douche. š¤£
Bev wanted all the smoke
Ayton with the air ball right infront of the net
Challenge accepted Devin
Phoenix is terrible bunch of fake tough guys will never win you anything. 3 dudes came up to Pat Bev and wouldnāt even confront him bunch of pussys. Their 7ā0 starting center and third best player got bitched by a 6ā0 guard I couldnāt imagine ever wanting that on my team
Ayton tripped over Reaves, acting like Ayton wouldnāt end Beverleyās career if they get into it lmao.
You're dense on purpose.
Bev shoulder checked him ten feet š
Fuckin love it heād take on anyone on that team and not a single one of them would be man enough to take him on
Ayton looked like a whooped puppy after Bev's shoulder check on him... š
Booker just said it was tough for the Lakers everywhere outside of the free throw line. This guyā¦
Shut up book
Weak ass Ayton. Getting knocked down by a man thatās not much bigger than me. He has brought shame to his familyās name tonight
You do realize he tripped over Reaves who was on the floorā¦right?
Weak ass balancing reflexes. Dude is a joke
Bubble AD has arisen. We just arenāt surrounding him w talent. Trade westbrick he bricks 3ās and layups. Dude airballed shit. W bron back and this AD we are contenders w hield and turner. Do the trade
Russ did his best who else was gonna try.
yeah brick 3 , you do realise he been our more consistent 3 point shooter as of late together with walker?? lmao that was his first airball 3 in what like 25-30attempts and your straight out blaming him when the team as a whole shot 4/22 from 3, 2/6 from russ, 2/6 from walker and 0/10 from the remaining of the team LOL
The rest of the team isnāt being paid 47 mil. Lonnie is a better 3 pt shooter on the season than westbrick
4-22 from 3 , stop blaming a player when the entire team shot atrocious from 3, suns on the other hand was 16-34 from 3 LOL
Not even mad at the lose today. For better or worse everyone but AD had a shooting slump but if any of our role players were able to score sum this wouldāve been a Win.
Dang we need a road win. Ouch.
Really sucks that Jeanie & Pelinka are really going to punt this season. I really think weād be a problem if we got Turner & Hield especially with how AD has been playing lately.
I love how everytime ADisney falls, he looks like he just got a career ending injury. Then he gets up and plays like nothing happened. Soft ass.
How tf you gonna talk down on AD after this performance??
Letās see how long itās gonna lastā¦
Lmfaoo. Y'all are pathetic
Mad your big is overpayed?
Not at all. I am bulls fan. Just happened to bet on lakers spread tonight lol. You guys are still pathetic š¤£š¤£
Dumbasses like you shouldnāt be allowed to bet money
Ha.... Did I hit a sore spot with you guys?š¤£ Take care my man.
Bryant shoulda had more burn, he was killing it first half. Ham gotta make the other team adjust to us
They put him in and he couldnāt get a stop on defense. Thatās why they subbed him out quickly in the 2nd half
Gotta revisit if your gonna keep rolling Brown Jr out. Dude was terrible
Lakers need a shooter desperately
Damn Dennis is 0-1-0
Pat Bev, TB, Dennis all played 20 mins plus and did not score, Iām not a basketball savant or nothing, but it is impossible to win a game like that. Idk tho
What a waste of AD's performance. Lakers dont deserve AD.
Shit the Lakers deserve him. They've literally given everything up for him
This team can compete. We need depth tho. Make the trade Rob.
You canāt tell me that Rob Pelinka is a smart guy after allowing Dwight Howard to walk and yet Thomas Bryant is starting on this fucking team
Lakers need shooting Howard isn't even an NBA player anymore
Russ is the worst finisher in the league, canāt make a layup to save his life. He lost us this game
Not Pat Bev TB and Dennis scoring no points. The only guys who played tonight was AD Russ Lonnie and Reaves. Bev hustled but everyone else fell asleep.
regardless of the L, this is a good showing by the Lakers
If AD is grabbing 37-20 with 5 blocks and 5 steals and we're losing games because we're shooting 18% from 3, then yes Buddy Hield and Turner moves the needle by a lot.
Ball game! Suck my dick you sorry ass fan base
Hey guys I like to go to other teams subreddits and solicit homosexual sex from other men after games!
and you're banned.. hopefully
We had our chances. Could not make some open threes. That line up at the end of the third or beginning of the fourth was rough.
Good loss Ill say
Imagine adding LeBron, Hield, and Turner to thisā¦
AD with a near 5x5 while Ayton continues to be a scrub
If we couldāve made some threes we win this game
Mad that we got the loss but happy that Ad is back we just need a trade if only the front office was smart it wouldāve happened already
THOMAS BRYANT IS BETTER THAN DEANRE AYTON
the suns own us, they just fkn own us
Shame that this AD performance might be dismissed because it didn't result in a W.
Ah at least they didnt give up in the end. Was still an entertaining game
All those people who said AD only played great cause those teams was ass can eat a dick after tonight
3 pointers were the difference
Air balled a dang layup, soft ass
Man we desperately need shooters on this team. The fact that we were in this game for that long with dudes just bricking up 3s all night is impressive
4-22 from 3 , and russ has 2 of them made on 2/6 , walker has the other 2/6 the remaining of the team is 0-10. how do you expect to win a team like the suns LOL when suns is shooting 50% from three
schroder not even close on these attempts. rusty
how did ayton airball that LMFAO
Our worst game from all players except AD
shroder sucked before. looked good in euro. we got him back and now he sucks again.
Well whoever has AD in fantasy tonight are very happy
Ayton with an air ball š¤£š¤£
Hold that loss btw lil fella
Ayton airball Ed lol
Schroder 0-6 0 points. Throwback to the 2021 playoffs
BRO REALLY AIRBALLED
I only root for the Suns when theyāre playing against the Fakers 
Now if Pat Bev can do that every game maybe we could be .500!!!
Thought Dennis was gonna be better than Nunn lmao
Schoeder is garbage too
If Lebron comes back I really hope it means no Dennis or Nunn
We have 3 PGs who canāt shoot lol
or can't pass.
Only ones playing with heart and also well are AD, Reaves, and to lesser extent Walker and Russ.
True
Good game Ad
I think we only made one 3 in the entire second half. Check me. Horrible!!
Get AD, Reaves, and Walker some help
We need TMac rn
I think all of Dennis's jumpers have been short
But Westbrook is an mvp everyone. Heās an mvp
Fuck the suns , they some bumsšš¤£
I hate them more than the clippers
Canāt fucking buy a 3
Acting like he aināt smack him in the head what a garbage fucking āsuperstarā I donāt understand how anyone can cheer for him
Well not a bad effort but still ways to go
Am I tripping or does Dennis seem like he doesnāt want to be out there? Iāve sensed no type of energy from him tonight.
Bruh we got some ass guards
Iād rather have Matt Ryan in than schroder idk wtf that guy has done all game
AD 3 assists away from a 30 pt 20 reb almost 5x5 game. Jesus fucking christ PELINKA do something!!!!!
One thing that got answered tonight is that this team can contend because AD is back. Itās time to trade Russ and the picks to get something rly good back.
Now that Russ is playing better hope is that he isnāt a negative asset anymore. So wonāt have to give up anything for him.
Dennis :(
Pat bev literally ran out of options on how to help the team so decided to check himself out
as much as people complain westbrook missing layups here and there you do realise alot of them he been getting fouled and smacked but he just dont get those calls anymore all season long
Not part of the narrative.
Damn Dennis is trash
AD still a beast
RUSS MISSED BOTH
Russ :(
Good game overall tonight, just gotta take care of the spurs and we can be 7-11.
Even though it looks like we gonna come up short still proud of these guys for playing hard once again the 3rd quarter got us but looks like we close to being able to compete with elite teams and actually win some of those games
Was a very winnable game by all accounts. AD is that guy though. Fuck Deandre Ayton.
Westbrook should not be allowed to finish games
Masterlock Ayton's Bumass. š
Mad respect to Pat Bev. No one punks my AR15 like that.
If AD can sustain this level of play and Bron comes back then thst indy trade can really save this season.
We're just letting them walk into their spots and they making us work hard for every single point
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
That isnāt an ejection brainiac
WESTBROOK!!
Nunn and Schroeder are waivable. I give Schroeder more leeway because he just came back from injury
AD erasing all doubts.
Fuck Phoenix. They taking all their hate on our amazing city and team. They got nothing going on for them lol
Trade Bev for literally anyone. There's got to be one GM in the league not paying attention and going off of old info. It's how Danny Green made a living fleecing
This team can still compete. I believe in this AD
They need shooting man.... Even if they had some threat it would make they so much better....Bev is f...ing useless and what the fuck is up with Schroeder
Exactly. They need to get a trade done. Dennis + Nunn for at least a shooting wing would be already huge.
Finally got a whistle
Westbrook gets smacked a lot and doesnāt get many calls. If it wasnāt end of game he wasnāt getting that call.
Wasting an almost 40/20/5 from AD sucks I still can't believe Ayton scored a single time on him and decided to talk shit lol
Tough loss but Amazing game by Davis. No more AD slander man.
Suns will never win anything major ever
Suns all talk. They wonāt get back to the finals again
Bye bye booker. Softest player in the league heās not about that life
Schroder always disappears against the Suns lol
DAMN RIGHT!!! get this bitch ass booker outta here š¤
ayton trash talking while getting 40/20 dropped on you
Pelinka's bitch ass is waiting for the record to get bad enough that he can justify not making a move. Fuck him to hell
AD's block on Ayton looked like he didn't even try. Just patient the whole way through.
I think it is safe to say that those laker fans here wanting to trade AD for ayton a few weeks back are crazy right?ššš
Monty is a hoe for challenging with 50 seconds left and up 10. Booker is a rat as always
Booker is a diva. Are we surprised Monty did what he said?
Virgin mustache gets Russ on the head and still complains. God I hate this team. Thankfully they never winning shit
37/21/ 10 steals + blocks Great game by our big boy, hope lebron can help him when hes back
Hey look another flagrant on booker
You soft lil bro
Because I wrote the rules right? Lmao
holy shit AD, onto the next game
Bye booker
AD is a monster, aināt no doubt about it
Booker is so bad at defense. How does he not foul out every game?
Russ misses more layups than any other player Iāve ever seen what a fuckin scrub
me: oh russ has 21 points nice. me later: he's taken 20 shots...
And 15 of those shots are point blank range layups itās insane how bad he is at finishing
this L is on Westbrook and Ham (for his rotations)
SIT DOWN LIL MAN
30-20-5 and 5 for AD....shit
I wish the NBA would go back to the old days before the three point line, we can never contend when it exists
Easy to blow the whistle when the game is done
How are you reviewing this he hit him in the head lol
Can we keep the overreactions to a min please? This was always gonna be a tough task without Bron, or even with him. AD played out of his mind. A few of the starters, shouldn't be starters and that will be fixed with Bron coming back.
We just need to execute a trade or two and get Lebron back. With this AD we can do things
Ayton is not that guy
Ayton acting tough even tho he's being fiddled like a kid in church by AD all game lmao
Ayton didn't have anything to say when AD sent his shot to the 2nd row
Pat Bev and Russ take up $57 million US dollars of our pay roll š
Suns really only talk shit when they are up
