Have to talk about the 12 second no ball possession time out. The Lakers caught a break. Having said that IMO it was a makeup call. What caused the ball to be loose was a no call on Booker's bumping AR and causing the ball to come loose. AR was expecting a call and didn't vigorously go after the loose ball. If Devin hadn't bumped AR we wouldn't be having this conversation.

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.
This is exactly where I am too.
I'd rather start Vando or Max or Rui... so tired of seeing TP with 25+ minutes and 0-1 3's made. _________________ "If You're Afraid To Fail...Then You're Probably Going To Fail."

we are a bad match-up for them without all 3 of their guys. They may never have them which sucks for them good for us.
i could see a problem if they have all 3 of their guys as DLO or AR would be forced to guard one of booker/beal because we sure as hell wouldn't want Lebron to guard them. Lakers were able to switch everything with their wings and AD, so it will be interesting to see how it looks.

Bradley Beal hasn't been well for the last 2 seasons. He only played 50 games in 2022-23 and 40 games in 2021-22. I'm on the SAS bus with availability is key. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

So lebron called the timeout when AR had possession of the ball
Theres video also you can here someone yelled timeout right after AR first dribble as he was falling.
Lost in this social media discussion is the reason Reeves lost control of the ball.
Fouled on contact. Two shots for Reeves, an 86% FT shooter.
The thing is it’s on AR to hold the ball there. The same thing happened at the end of the last game where he reacted to bait for a foul and lost it in phoenix because the refs let Beal play through while he snapped his head back. He has to man up there and hold on to the damn ball. It’s happened both games

Again Prince is shooting 40% from three on several makes, 46% from the field, and 78% from the line on the road this year. He’s clearly been the best wing on the road … I just don’t know why it won’t come inside staples

If someone's trying to go up in ya, ya turn the ball loose. Look at the video above. Excuse me, ladies. I agree AR does go Hollywood to get a foul but not in this instance.
NBA Says Controversial Suns-Lakers Timeout Was Correct Call
The NBA's last two minute report says the Phoenix Suns are wrong in their complaints
During live play the official felt that LA still had possession of the ball when LeBron James requested the timeout. Through postgame video review in slow motion replay, we did see that Austin Reaves had his left hand on the ball while it's pinned against his left leg, which does constitute control.[b][i]"1 hour ago
I thought the Lakers caught a break. Maybe not. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

You are overrating Beal tbh.
I have a feeling the Suns we saw yesterday isn’t gonna be the Suns we see by the time the playoffs come around, there gonna have Booker playing at a higher level, there probably gonna upgrade there roster, it will be a different challenge

I like TP and I'm pulling for him like I do everyone on the squad. Only player in P&G I couldn't stand ever was Russ...
Max has been more productive even with him trending up for a few games prior to that stinker v the Suns. I'd rather see him starting.
Rui and Vando are on minutes restrictions but when healthy I'd rather see either starting. Rui for O, Vando for D and I lean towards Vando.
It just makes no sense to me that this guy gets more minutes than 3 productive players when he isn't knocking down 3s.
TP would get a lot of Q2 minutes to see if he's stroking if I'm HC. If he is then he get's 2nd half minutes. If he isn't then he doesn't that game. He's a player with potential to extend leads, that's it for me. _________________ "If You're Afraid To Fail...Then You're Probably Going To Fail."
