They are going to win it undoubtedly. There are no shooters for the Lakers except for Carmelo Anthony and he was ejected. IT has a rough night too with a bad shooting, every throw just doesn't want to sink in.
Then, Lebron James stepped on the foot of Jae Crowder while landing and it was the dagger that ended the competition. It's just Lebron who was making all the good plays while the others are just following him and with his ankle bothering him there is no way they could win it. Finally, no one can stop Ayton so it had always been an easy deuce for him. 9/11 in the paint.

Lakers were so hype within the 1st quarter with James and Westbrooke starts to show off in the first few minutes of the quarter and later on they have been having a hard time catching the Suns. Indeed, they really felt the absence of Davis's asissts and rebounds to catch up the lead. Also, Rondo didn't made a score in his 23 minutes in the court.
The Phoenix Suns was impressive today, especially Booker and Ayton as the lead on tonights game. All thanks to Chris Paul's powerful assists.

Wow, this is certainly a name I did not expect to ever hear that is coming back to the NBA. I don't know why exactly but for some reason I was always a pretty big fan of Joe's.  Something about his game always appealed to me. I would imagine covid likely has something to do with it.  Covid is really starting to effect the sports world.  I'm sure you've seen that a couple games for today have been cancelled (including my Bulls).

Yes, I'm also a big fan of Joe Johnson back in the days, good shooter.

I guess it's because of the health and safety protocols and then players getting injured. And I think it's good though that these players are giving a second chance specially those who have retired already.

And then players having their NBA debut, coming from other leagues to fill the slots as well.

I really wonder what Lakers need to do in order to get better. They have a great roster already, sure they are missing AD right now but not like they were knocking down opponents when AD was there neither. Suns is a good team I am not arguing that they should have beaten Suns, and for some reason since Chris Paul came in, he literally turned that franchise around 180 degrees and I know he is a good player but I do not think that his contribution could be the only reason.

No matter how good Suns are, Lakers were expected to be at the top, or at least around the top, like even 20 wins right now with 12 losses would be fine for them, that is something I could see happening, but back on .500 again? I mean they seriously need to find whatever that "reason" is, and fix that issue. They are a bit old I get that, but they are very talented as well, they should be doing a lot better.

Their roster is great in name only but the reality is it's mostly a group of aging superstars. Their game play is slow which is fitting for veterans but they should bring back young guys into the mix so they can have more options.

I bet this team will have a hard time beating the current Spurs in a seven game series.

This 10-day contracts is becoming a thing now which is good for former stars especially after/during a time when their hustles (after NBA) were affected.

I'm just thinking if the Heat will get one, they should probably contact D. Wade I'm pretty sure he'll laugh at the idea but it's his home and it could be fun for him. I remember an article that his agent is telling him to stay in shape even after retiring because he can get calls anytime. This could be the perfect scenario for that.

They are just good when they are at their prime but right now with their ages, they aren't as dominating as they are years ago or maybe lets exclude LeBron since he is still dominating the league in his own ways.
Howard, Anthony, Jordan. These are just three of the Laker players right now that are dominating the league at their prime but now they can't because they are aging already. Include the fact that they also have injury prone players like Davis and even Lebron. If you will ask me if they have a great roster, I would say yes just by name but in terms of performance I would say average team at least for me.


This is what I'm talking about and in fact, they are the slowest team right now and its because of their ages. Maybe LeBron and Westbrook can still run fast but most of their players? They can't.

I am a fan back when he was in the Phoenix Suns with Steve, Amare, Quentin, and Hill but I believe it will not be the same as those times. This may be just for that little money but I am sure there will always be fans like me who want to see how he plays even at his age. Will the touch still be there or will he just be an addition to complete the 8 players for the Celtics?
2 minutes, 2 points. I will just enjoy watching him the next game if ever they will give them more minutes.

I'm not sure we will see a good impact from him, AFAIB, Joe Johnson is no longer the same when he was still with the Atlanta Hawks, lots of young players already who can play better and deserved to be given a chance, of course we will never forget him, he will always be of the greatest NBA Player back when he was still with the Hawks, but it's time for retirement now, if he still play, then maybe we should not expect much from him.
