BOX SCORE

Lakers starters played until halfway in the 3rd quarter. No Booker, no Beal, and Durant only played in the first half. Lakers bench was atrocious. Cam Reddish, Christian Wood, and Rui Hachimura combined for 7 points. Collectively they were a -93.

Suns almost have too much depth lol, these guys are all competing hard as hell to get into the rotation. Metu has been one of the best guys off the bench this pre season, and couldn’t get in the game til late in the second half. KBD was one of the favorites to be the second starter, and also barely got on the floor. Both guys came in and immediately started contributing in a big way.

Eubanks finally showed us what Trailblazers fans have been saying all along, fans are going to be begging Vogel to play him more than Nurk on some nights.

Guess Bill Simmons was wrong, not just as simple as the lakers deciding to bully the suns. Remains to be seen if Beal is an upgrade over Landry Shamet though.

But can Beal marry on of Vogels daughters?!?!?!??

Okogie and Goodwin are willing to die for an extra minute of playing time

Beal and Shamet? They’re the same player, no?
