Re: Game Day: Clippers (20-12) @ Suns (18-15), Wed 1/3/24

Suns look a bit out matched early and again not guarding the 3pt line well, with the Clippers taking advantage (hopefully they cool down after hitting 5 of their first 7).

Re: Game Day: Magic (19-12) @ Suns (16-15), Sun 12/31/23

A little bit of much-needed momentum for the Suns coming into the new year. Beal was really important in the 4th just after the Magic took the lead with two lay-ups and taking a charge - great steadying plays. We still give up way too many open 3s - need to sharpen that up against teams that shoot t...

The Hornets are on the second of a B2B. Any goodwill the Suns earned in dominating the Rockets will vanish if they don’t do the same to the Hornets.

This would be a good game for Beal to get his legs under him for 20-25 minutes.
100% correct

It’s a shame the stuff in between games is more interesting than what they’re producing on court.

I watched the first half and was really hoping the Pistons could get the win. Great game from Cade, not so much from Ivey or Stewart.
Same, think they’ll get a win in their next 3-4. They’re a much better team with Duren in the middle, and he should get better after a few games out with an ankle.

Re: Game Day: Suns (14-15) @ Rockets (15-13), Wed 12/27/23

Gee whiz do we need a win. It’s not a must-win game being this stage of the season, but it’s probably the next tier down. With an eye to where we hope to be at the end of the season (playoffs, positioning) we need to at least start beating the teams need us or just shove in the standings. Oh and sta...

Two horrendous turnovers from metu and Durant to crush any small hope we had. Just careless, unnecessary, soul-crushing turnovers.

Re: Game Day: Mavericks (17-12) @ Suns (14-14), Mon 12/25/23

We would clearly have taken a one-point lead if you’d offered us that at half time. Real good test of the team in the last quarter - are they finally showing some grit, or did they just ride an outlier quarter for Allen and will now meekly surrender. Let’s hope they’ve found their mojo and deliver a...

Re: Around the League: Week 9 (12/18 - 12/24)

Does Washington potentially beating Portland (up 13 at the half) make our win over the Wizards look slightly better or our loss to the Blazers even worse?
(Acknowledging the real correct answer is that they’re both terrible)

Condolences to Nurk, that’s rough for him. He should take whatever time he needs. Meanwhile, does this not seem a fairly big cop out from Vogel?? It’s a far cry from the championship aspirations type talk of preseason.. Vogel: “….A myriad of different things we’re seeing… one night’s going to be dif...

That 3rd quarter hurt the Suns bad.

38-20. 👎
And bench scoring (common theme). I saw it was something like 43-14 late in the game

I am going full parent mode on this team: I’m not even angry, just disappointed. It is hard though to get past thinking that the team as structured - on and off court - is fundamentally broken. I mean we got 66 points on essentially 50% shooting from KD and Booker tonight and couldn’t beat the Blaze...
