LAKERS #1 Soap..."As DWIGHT Turns"...LAKEshow do a No No in the "VALLEY of the Sun" and lose 99-76...#8thSeedInJeopardy #LAKEshowNeedsTheirSnake

The Lakers look like the Sum of some of their parts tonight as those Teams that rely on that Logo Royalty every now and then like the Lakers do on the Black Mamba. Tonight they could have used that Snake to bite the Lakers out of the hole created by poor shooting and execution. The Lakers go down 99-76 to a Suns Team that is looking towards the 2015-16 season.

The Lakers were only down after three frames 71-66 and then it all unraveled for them as the Suns close the deal on a 28-10 last frame. The Suns didn't do anything out of the ordinary as they put six players in double figures led by 14 points apiece from Starter Wes Johnson and Reserve Forward Luis Scola.

The Lakers lose by 23 points when looking at the numbers it could have been 40 plus. Lakers Numbers vs Suns:

-10 in rebounding 45-55

34% FG
23% 3pt FG
18 my bads
and only 15 helpers on made baskets...

Dwight of Three Stripes gets 16 points and eleven boards. Twan adds 13 points and M.W.P. 12 points as the Lakers could not shoot the Spalding Orange in the Pacific tonight. As we go to press the Lakers are holding onto the #8 seed as the Knicks try to end their 4-game west coast trip with a W at Utah. If Utah wins they jump in front of the LAKEshow for #8. The Jazz lose they stay at #9 as Lakers stay at #8.

Hopefully for Lakers Nation Kobe gets back for Friday;s Game vs the Wizards at Staples Purple and Gold as the Lakers get a chance to watch the Teams in front of them and behind them in the standings.

This has been another Episode of the Lakers #1 Soap..."As Dwight Turns".
