Re: Game Day: Suns (28-20) @ Hawks (20-27), Fri 2/2/24

Too many Moses-parting-the sea-defense in the paint for easy layups.

One expects Young to get his points, but who the hell was guarding Bogdo?
He was unchallenged for most of his threes. Geezus Jones.

Re: Game Day: Suns (27-20) @ Nets (19-27), Wed 1/31/24

another solid game by Okogie: 11 pts, 7 rebs.

My only complaint is nonchalant, sloppy passes, often occurring when Suns have a double digit lead.
It's the veterans that are guilty -- that's infuriating.

Re: Game Day: Suns (26-20) @ Heat (24-22), Mon 1/29/24

Nice balance to the scoring ... not just the Big Three and a bunch of offensive dwarfs.

Off the bench, Gordon with 23 and Eubanks and Okogie with 11 each.

Good balance with rebounding: Nurk, Booker and Durant with 8 apiece and Okogie with 7.

Glad refs finally got tired of the Dallas players kvetching, and handed out some technicals.

Re: Suns News: Week 14 (1/22/24 - 1/28/24)

It’s gonna be pretty funny if Richards is our starting center in the playoffs and “Better Fit Nurk” gets benched. It would be funny. Especially after Nurk tossed Richards around like a ragdoll when the Suns played Charlotte. Nurk had 24 and 15 against Richards. So, no to the trade, and no to the mi...

Re: Game Day: Suns (22-18) @ Pelicans (25-17), Fri 1/19/24

Zion had three (3) rebounds in 33 minutes.
He's averaging less than 6 pg this season.
How can somebody who is 6-6 and 280 not get around 10 boards a game?

Some compare Zion to Barkley, but Charles averaged almost 12 boards a game for his career.
Zion rebounds like a perimeter player...

Very satisfying win.

While Zion can score easily, he obviously likes to save energy on defense.

Bates-Diop had a +/- of -24 last night in 14 minutes.

Yes, +/- isn't an end-all/be-all stat, but, hell, -24 ?!

"also Azubuike with the highest +/-…that flukey? "

No, he played well ... solid in the paint, like he owned it."

Suns fairly fluid on offense throughout. Jalen Green's bombing kept the Rockets in the game.
Suns outboarded Rockets, 44-33.

Azubuike earned more playing time with this effort ... Eubanks has looked a bit lost the past few games.

What the hell is up with Bates-Diop? A DNP?

As far as the game goes, I figured the Kings would win after the Suns cratered during the recent home stand.
