“Felt real good. In and out.”
Keita Bates-Diop on 3 he missed late with Suns down four in loss to #Lakers.
Thought Lakers were going to give up the two as Grayson Allen got a pass on a cut to the basket, but LeBron James was in the lane.

“We don’t want to leave anybody open, but there are guys on the floor you want the ball to find moreso than LeBron James. Sometimes, those guys make shots. We don’t want the ball to find them wide open.”

“He said all the right things. And I totally believe him. But he’s a prideful dude,” Ham said. “He’s been our starting two guard. It’s an adjustment. But I told him, one, it’s going to balance us out. And when you come in, you’re going to have your own crew. Ball’s going to be in your hands and you’re not going to have to take turns with Bron, D-Lo and AD. Number two, your minutes are not going to go down. … And number three, you’re going to finish the games for us. You’ll be in at the end. Don’t be upset because you’re not out there to see the tipoff live and in person, but outside of that, nothing is really going to change.” -via Los Angeles Times / November 11, 2023
