No, actually the advantage is that the games will be played on their home floor(in case you don’t know Vegas is basically lakers town) |

Not a believer.
Devin Booker looked lost out there. This is the same guy just last season who was putting up 33 ppg with no sweat
I’d look to trade Beal if I’m the suns. Book flourishes well with unselfish high defensive wings like Mikal Bridges.
KD is already going to take 15-25 shot attempts away from Book. He has to do too much defensively nowadays
Plus Nurkic is good but they need help in the middle |
Yeah, it’s sort of weird when you think about it. Bridges, Chris Paul, and Ayton got them a finals appearance and then 64 wins the season after. And they got rid of all them rather than trying to make another run. |
I don’t think you can fault them for getting KD nor getting rid of Ayton. KD is the reason they are so dangerous |
KD will always give you a chance.
Hell Booker too.
They’re definitely a dangerous squad but championship contender? Not feeling that atm
@candyCanes
Can’t forget about the suns getting rid of Monty Williams and their racist owner Sarver as well 💀💀💀 |

Great win - Lebron played great, several key buckets when the game was tight in the 4th and solid defense with a lot of steals / deflections / rotating.
AD balled out int he 1st half, Reaves huge balls at the end.
Really liked the D early, made up for our horrid offense.
Great great win! |

We have wing defenders to throw at Bi, but their role players scares me when they go off. Herb jones and trey Murphy are deadly when they are on |

Only 17 points combined for DLO/Prince/Cam. That's not not going to get it done. It's not like we're going up against a power house defensive team. |
Prince is like a ghost out there, his man D is aight but I'd rather see Vando or more Rui, really anybody but him - even Christie. |

Sin City is a Lakers town until an actual expansion NbA team get delivered to them.
Then all the casual NBA fans/Las Vegas Residents who despise going to the strip at all costs will flood the scene like desert clipper fans 💀💀💀 |

Rui struggles fighting over screens, he can be used to defend PF/maybe centers. |

We would get plenty of support even with the expansion team. It will be like chargers home games unless they win fast like the golden knights |

Not really because I was never expecting him to be a useful player. The fact that he has had some good moments is a bonus. |

Hopefully your right bro, I have wanted Reddish to succeed as a Laker the moment he signed here, the fact that he’s had so many good moments is very exciting for us |

Shaq, Ernie, Charles, and Kenny have fun and make the program interesting.

| We're talking about tournaments but the Lakers have quietly crept up to a .600 win percentage and have won the season series over Phoenix. |

| Lakers were bricking layups left and right tonight and still pulled this out. I'll take it. Very happy to see our length and athleticism paying off today; Lakers got their hands on a lot of passes and made the Suns' life difficult even with KD shooting lights out. |

Thank you for acknowledging the important stuff.
Lakers 13-9, currently sitting as the 4th seed and now have the season series against Suns. A team that will be in the mix once the figure it out with Beal back.
Now the we are exciting to consider. Solid win tonight. Entertaining too. |

ESPN and TNT is doing the shows together in Vegas. So We will see Shaq/ernie/kenny/chuck with Steph a, and wilbon
Also ESPN's Mike Breen and Doris Burke "will host TNT’s Reggie Miller" for the 5pm ET game on Dec. 7 (airing on ESPN), while TNT’s Kevin Harlan and Candace Parker "will be joined by ESPN’s Doc Rivers" for the 9pm game (airing on TNT). |

They were like 8-2 with KD and Booker together, so they are a good team for sure |

| Nurkic is a nice player but he can’t be counted on every night, let’s hope the Suns don’t add a quality big before the trade deadline |

It's funny because this intra-conference play is arguably more valuable than the result of the Final game, which doesn't count for all intents and purposes. Along the way we ended up picking up some very important wins in games that we otherwise have slacked off in and dropped. |
