The Phoenix Suns escaped in a wild Game 1 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers in Arizona on Sunday.

Another playoff injury struck Phoenix Suns superstar Chris Paul on Sunday night and the entire NBA world is holding its breath. The good news is – Paul says he’ll be “absolutely ready” for Game 2 against the Los Angeles Lakers (via ESPN). Paul went down in the second quarter of Game 1 against the Los […]

It’s no secret that Drake is a diehard NBA fan. No fake love in that. You’ve seen his viral reaction during the intense play-in tournament classic between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Golden State Warriors. Now, it’s his son Adonis, who’s a LeBron James fan, that has gone viral for his reaction. It had […]

The Los Angeles Lakers dropped their first game against the Phoenix Suns on Sunday, 99-90. The Lakers, who came in Sunday’s game with a six-game winning streak, lost the game plan battle as well. LA couldn’t buy a basketball, and it didn’t help that their star player Anthony Davis was outplayed by Deandre Ayton. Are […]

Let’s do away with hyperboles: Devin Booker is good. But on Sunday against the Los Angeles Lakers, Booker was even better. In his very first game in the NBA Playoffs, Booker made sure to tow the Phoenix Suns to a resounding victory over LeBron James and the rest of the defending champions with a performance […]

The Phoenix Suns missed out on Luka Doncic in the 2018 draft, but it may have been the right choice. Instead of drafting Doncic, the Arizona team selected center Deandre Ayton. Ayton has been a good big man for the Suns, but he hasn’t lived up to his full potential yet. He averaged a double-double […]

Considering the stakes and the performance of his counterpart, Anthony Davis may have had his worst game as a member of the Los Angeles Lakers in his team’s Game 1 loss to the Phoenix Suns on Sunday. Instead of dominating a 22-year old DeAndre Ayton — as many (like me) expected after his electric two-way […]

The Los Angeles Lakers dropped Game 1 to the Phoenix Suns, 99-90.

However, on Sunday, the anticipated chess match became less about […]

The Phoenix Suns outshined LeBron James, Anthony Davis and the Los Angeles Lakers in the opener of their Round 1 playoff series, thanks in large part to Devin Booker and Deandre Ayton.

The Los Angeles Lakers figured in a heated exchange that almost led to a brawl with the Phoenix Suns following a Chris Paul foul on LeBron James early in the fourth quarter. After a free-throw that bounced on the rim, James tried to recover the ball, only to be fouled by Paul, who wrapped his […]

Chris Paul is a winner, and while he may not have a title (yet?) to show for it, he has  proven his impact on the Phoenix Suns and his previous teams. During their Round 1 playoffs clash with the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday, an incredible stat was shown for viewers to ponder on. It […]

It’s nothing you haven’t heard before, but it’s something you might not have seen before, at least in terms of the precise numbers. Yes, you have seen the Los Angeles Lakers have a plus-17 advantage in free throw attempts in one half of an NBA playoff game. That’s nothing new… but a plus-17 advantage when […]

Chris Paul went down and was seen in a lot of pain after a collision in Game 1 against the Los Angeles Lakers. The Phoenix Suns point guard fell down in a heap and was grabbing his right shoulder. The contact looked to be between Paul and his Suns teammate Cam Johnson, who grazed the […]

Sunday, the Los Angeles Lakers and Phoenix Suns tip off one of the more unique No. 7 vs. No. 2 series in NBA history. Let’s set the stage for the first career postseason matchup between LeBron James and Chris Paul. Season Series Phoenix took two of three matchups, but that’s hardly indicative of, well, anything. […]

Los Angeles Lakers point guard Dennis Schröder has not looked the same since returning from spending 10 days in the league’s health and safety protocols. Conversely, Alex Caruso has been superb, while Kentavious Caldwell-Pope remains the most underrated player on the team. In Los Angeles’ first-round series against the Point God, Chris Paul, and the […]

After six long years, Devin Booker is finally headed to the playoffs. If you ask the Phoenix Suns superstar, however, a postseason berth is just the beginning.

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James violated the NBA’s health and safety protocols by attending an event on Monday, according to ESPN’s Dave McMenamin. Per McMenamin, via a league spokesperson: James was one of several high-profile guests present at a promotional event for Lobos 1707, a tequila brand he backs, earlier this week before the […]

LeBron James is headed for an epic showdown with his long-time friend Chris Paul. The Los Angeles Lakers enter their matchup with the Phoenix Suns as the much lower seed, but nobody sees them as the actual underdog. The Lakers star was asked about Paul’s playoff success, or lack thereof, as reported by ESPN’s Dave […]

When the Los Angeles Lakers and Phoenix Suns begin their first-round series on Sunday, it will mark the first postseason matchup between LeBron James and Chris Paul. However, James has competed against (and played with) two of the game’s great thinkers — Draymond Green and Rajon Rondo — numerous times in the postseason. During Friday’s […]

It looks like Los Angeles Lakers star Anthony Davis is missing Stephen Curry. Or at least, he has the Golden State Warriors star in his mind. On Friday during the Lakers’ press conference, Davis had a hilarious slip while talking about the Suns. Instead of saying Devin Booker and Chris Paul–the two leaders of Phoenix–AD […]

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James refused to confirm nor deny whether he has received the COVID-19 vaccine. James was asked about the vaccine during his post-practice media availability on Friday afternoon, two days before the Lakers’ Game 1 matchup with the Phoenix Suns. Here’s the full exchange between James and Kyle Goon of the […]

The Los Angeles Lakers are aiming to become the first team to win a championship from a bottom-two seed. Or, as Jared Dudley described their tall order: “The hardest challenge any team has ever had in NBA history.” Los Angeles, of course, is not your average 7-seed. The Lakers are coming off a title, and […]

It’s no secret that LeBron James is pretty banged up right now. However, if you ask the Los Angeles Lakers star himself, it looks like he’s ready to go for what should be a grueling playoff run ahead. LeBron’s health has been a cause for concern for the defending champs heading into the postseason. Some […]

The Phoenix Suns aren’t always good, but when they are, the Los Angeles Lakers are regularly in their NBA playoff path. Such is the case this year, as Chris Paul saddles up for one more ride in the attempt to reach his first NBA Finals. Standing in the way are LeBron James and the Lake […]

After defeating the Golden State Warriors in the play-in game, the Los Angeles Lakers secured the seventh seed and will take on the second-place Phoenix Suns.

The Los Angeles Lakers and Golden State Warriors played the greatest play-in game in NBA history. We can safely say that after LeBron James’ heroics lifted Los Angeles to a thrilling win over Stephen Curry and Golden State at Staples Center on Wednesday.

The Phoenix Suns have been one of the best teams in the NBA this season with the arrival of future Hall-of-Famer Chris Paul. CP3 has formed a formidable tandem with fellow All-Star Devin Booker on the Suns. But could they be gunning for a third star in the near future, possibly in the form of […]

Chris Paul has helped transform the Phoenix Suns into a legitimate contender this season. After their run in the bubble last year, Paul’s arrival via trade from the Oklahoma City Thunder pushed the Suns to the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference. While Paul’s mind is on the present, it’s only natural to look […]
