| I’ll believe that “K. Durant - out” if/when he’s not on the court #LGSRS |

| this will be a tough game, we need AD to be a monster in order to have a chance. we have 2 games against the suns left, and if we can split them, i will be happy |

I penciled in the Phoenix games as losses so if we could find a way to win that would go far in helping me to recover from the Houston/Dallas losses.
This is your chance AD... beat Phoenix and the Clippers and all is forgiven again. |

We need AD to counter Booker. If that happens, and our 3's are falling, we may have a chance.
It all depends on what version of Anthony Davis shows up... |

can TBJ guard Torey Craig? i believe he can
Phx does have a small front line, so i can see Ham putting Vando on booker and go from there. |

We lost to the Rockets and Mavs, and barely squeezed by with the Magic. AD is struggling, Ham is still an idiot, and the spirts/momentum have officially died down for the team.
This is a loss.

Mavs were thin without Luka. Still lost.
Just like this one will be. Momumtem is nearly dead.

Will come down to who can make more threes
PHX will swarm AD like everyone else and force our guards to make shots
Booker and CP3 will chuck away in the P&R and spam threes, will come down to a make or miss situation really
With Vando I feel alot better about our pick and roll defense, I'd put him on Booker and take my chances with their other pieces |

The Lakers haven't beat the Phx Suns since May, 2021 (9 losses in a row).
Time for the BIG PAYBACK! LET'S-KICK-DAT-SUNS-ASS!

This is Anthony Davis' game to win or lose.

Because of poor free throwing. We left about 10 points on the court and is a game we should have won. We should win this one also TBH if KD is out |

| Last year the Suns killed us on the pick and roll where they got Ayton and their other big men lots of easy paint points. We have to shut that down to have any chance in this game. |

Load managing the Rockets game completely derailed the momentum and advantage we had. I hope they can somehow win this game and get it back.
We're gonna need Russell to show up to this one. |

AD will have to bring his A game, on both ends, for this one.
AR, WG and the crew must continue to play hard-nosed defense and smart, determined BBall.
If the team plays with a sense of urgency, the Lakers will win out.
Last 10 games this season:
Lakers 6-4
Suns 5-5 |

Pheonix is an ideal opponent to see what we have, coach, and team. Lineups and rotations, team chemistry, and willingness to go to the mat.

| After Kyrie went for 40 against us, I wouldn’t be surprised if Chris did as well. |

CP3 has scored 30 points or more only once this season. He's not a volume scorer anymore.
It's Booker that I hope Vando can shut down.
