Beal already ruled out against a largely full stretch Laker starting lineup.

Backs are against the wall after 2 recent losses so this is an absolute must win. Hope the team comes out with the appropriate level of energy and focus that this game demands.

Once more - Beat LA!

At least Nurkic will be back for this one.

Top 6 is out of reach IMO. Let's see what happens against direct 7-8 place opponent.

I'll be looking for good energy, tough play, smart shot selection, timely defensive roptations on the perimeter, strong physical team rebounding to help Nurk as he'll likely get into early foul trouble in this game. and playing with grit and a sense of urgency!!!! :nod:

If we can do those things, then I believe we have a good chance of winning this game! But even if we don't pull it out, I'd still like to see better habits developing throughout the roster going forward. And the players playing professionally and with urgency and effort as opposed to playing lackadaisical and careless as if they think they can just coast into the playoffs. Take nothing for granted!

NO MORE GIVEAWAY GAMES!!!!

This is a HUGE game. National TV, direct opponent on the standings. LA have owned the Suns this whole season and they are the worst matchup. Let's see if they come out with some sense of urgency.

I wonder how many times KD gets foul today with no call from the refs?

We can't afford to lose today. This is a must win for several reasons, record being but one of them.

Terrible shot by Durant. All five Suns players above the three points line.

I still don't understand the fervor over him. He's not that good and is really just decent enough. All the hype is honestly pretty laughable.

My boy Bol is still feeling it! Here's hoping he has a post all-star break run similar to what Bridges did last season. :D

Me neither, but being on the Lakers helps his cause in getting all the whistles in the world. Put him anywhere else and he’s just a decent player who hardly gets fouled. Imagine all the FT’s Booker would get in LA?

What if Bol starts actually living up to his potential!? It's beginning to look like he's headed in that direction :o
