No Beal or Booker π¬π¬π¬

Game analysis, highlights and everything else that is happening in the NBA.
The score without KDs points would still be 102-100 π°
suns bench outscored the lakers bench 51-16
Least biased title - LOL just saw the username too.
Suns bench has been pretty good the entire preseason, hoping it translates to the regular season.
Supporting cast showed a lot of effort.
Lmao little bit of a misleading title when the Lakers were up at half with their starters in
But I hope this was the first step in everyone knowing we have depth now
Our bench brought it back to a one point game after KD checked out at the half against Bron and AD. Definitely a bit of artistic license being taken with the title, but certainly not an encouraging performance by the Lakers.
Obviously it's preseason and only means so much, but there's a reason the Lakers game thread was super butthurt lol.
Because our sub is pretty stupid mostly
Name a team with a worse bench than the Lakers
Name a Redditor with worse takes than you
Crazy how people put more energy into hating the Lakers than rooting for their team. They must be a fun person to be around.
Bulls maybe
Lakers fans DIPPED out of that game thread real quick after the start of the the third.
Rams and dodgers been making the cardinals and dbacks their bitch for years. But the Suns lowkey have been spanking the lakers the last 3 or so years and this year will be no different
None of that shit matters if you donβt win it all. Rams, Dodgers, and Lakers all got one. Dbacks have a shot, Suns might too weβll see.
Thats fair. Its evident tho the suns get up to play the lakers and every single shot goes in every time they play yall lmao
I'm sure the takes here will be as reasonable as some of the dumbass ones in the Lakers sub
You'd have thought Mavs game 7 was happening again reading our game thread comments when Lakers were up like 12-5.
Do the lakers have the worst supporting cast of all time?! Why yes I think they do!
I believe that in a 7 game series the Suns bench would beat our starters like they did in the first 5 minutes of the third
guys we've been destroyed
Rob needs to trade everyone but LBJ and AD for Kyrie
Do it plz
How long can AD hold up having to carry this hard? I give it maybe 20 games before he has to take a break for a month or two.
I'm just here for the hot takes
Lakers could easily be a play-in team this year
They're gonna be really scary in a few years!
Lost to Kevin and friends
Lakers starters looking amazing. AD was huge. Suns bench looked real good too. I like this Nassir Little guy
The Suns will be pretty deadly this season.
Hope the Lakers bench plays more energy than that on Tuesday
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 couldnβt 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.

Hahahaaaaa
Okogie and Goodwin are willing to die for an extra minute of playing time
Reddish/Wood combined scapegoat post game threads on r/nba? 29.5 games
Gotta get minutes to be a scapegoat. Reddish is gonna grow roots on that bench
Hammering the under
A little crazy that the 3rd was the Suns best when none of the starters were playing against the Lakers starters. Definitely a good sign that our bench will hold up in the regular season
Lee - Watanabe - KBD - Metu - Eubanks.
A two-way bull in a china shop, three power forwards, and a 6'11 center with t-rex arms.
This lineup was shockingly effective.
I'd say Vogel may have struck gold with this weird mishmash of non-starters, but they just played Max Christie, Christian Wood, Cam Reddish, and Rui Hachimura, surely nobody who would get rotational minutes on the Lakers at this point.
I personally was shocked when a lineup with Cam Reddish playing the PG did not work
Reddish looks like he doesn't belong in the league. This is his 5th year!
The only real takeaway I have is I canβt wait for this season to start. So many fun teams to watch
Are the lakers in trouble this season?
As we all know the Suns true weakness is their pitiful depth outside of Durant Booker and Beal. We all know Nurkic is a washed sorry excuse of a center and Josh Okogie is not starter level.
All that being said for the lakers to get absolutely walloped by all the trash components of this fraud suns team while playing all of their starters well into the third, itβs got to be pretty concerning even in a preseason game?
As Shit of a take as I've ever seen.
Nassir Little, Chimezie Metu, Keita Bates-Diop, and Drew Eubanks stocks have all risen to match Jusuf Nurkic's single devastating drop
Why are you making these ridiculous titles like this is the Daily Mail or something? Trying to win games isn't what the preseason is about at all.
Let me guess⦠Lebron needs help?
