No tacos for you, Lakers fans!

Staples Center was on fire. People were happy with the shellacking the Suns were receiving. There was just one problem:

They didn't count on Louis Amundson

With a layup from Sweet Lou with 2:23 in the game, the Young Suns
made it to 100 points, completing a feat nobody in the Staples center that night thought possible:

Denying the Lakers fans free tacos.

This caused a huge uproar, and was the most exciting part of the 4th quarter, with the game long since settled around an average 20pt deficit.

-Young Suns Warming up.

 

Star-divide

We made it for the end of the d-league game, and the Young Suns started showing up early to practice before the game. They looked psyched out already.

Live game observations:

  • I think Grant Hill's foot is hurting more than he lets on.
  • Our team is completely undersized.
  • LB Has improved a lot this season. Way more active on defense and involved in the game.
  • At separate points, I heard Laker fans wonder who Tucker, Dragic, and Dudley were and why the "mighty lakers" had trouble stopping them.
  • The Young Suns play pretty well together. I hope we keep them.
  • Dragic shoots his first free throw too fast for the crowd to make noise. It amused me.
  • Shaqovic making his free throws drove them mad.
  • Dragic and Tucker are a lot better when they don't hesitate.
  • Lakers are doing a great job disrupting the Suns offense.
  • The Laker Fan's most hated Sun? Leandro Barbosa. They hate him with all the fire of Hell. It's pretty funny.
  • This loss was easier in person than the Miami game.

Staples is a weird place to watch a game. Everything is centered around the perceived majesty of the lakers, while the psyche of the Lakers fan is a mix between Hollywood self consciousness and a frat boy's sense of entitlement.

Too bad they are playing so well.

This makes my day!

And justifies Louis Amundson contract totally!

In Nash we trust - for better and for worse...
