Re: Game Day: Suns (2-4) @ Pistons (2-4), Sun 11/5/23

I think Eric Gordon has emerged as our 4th best player. Do you agree / disagree? If it weren't him, you could make the case for Okogie, Allen, maybe Nurkic. But EG has been more consistent than those guys, IMO. His scoring and ability to generate offense has been really helpful. Ya I think he and A...

Re: Game Day: Spurs (2-2) @ Suns (2-2), Thurs 11/2/23

I don't want to open up that discussion again, but I'll be paying specific attention to the way we run offence through the centers. 4 games in, and the centers are giving us a combined 6.5 assists per game and are the top 2 in assist per 36. I've appreciated their passing so far, but haven't really ...

Need something to wash this World Series loss and Tuesday’s embarrassment out of my mind…. Suns by 20, then they lose with 1 second left. 😭😭😭😭😭😭 We were seriously ahead for over 47 minutes and 58 seconds in a 48 minute game and lost. Ooooookkkkkk... Moving on... Turns out Pop can still coach.

Re: Around the League: Week 2 (10/30 - 11/5)

I like the trade for Philly. That's a lot of picks and role players for just giving up PJ Tucker. IMO if they stay healthy and figure out the bench, they are a threat in the East. Maybe I'm just being a homer, but I think there's a big difference between the stars Phoenix loaded up with and the ones...

Wemby is averaging 16 per game, and shooting poorly outside of the paint. I would put Nurk on him, keep him out of the paint, and see what he can do.

Re: Game Day (Preseason): Suns (3-1) @ Lakers (2-3), Thurs 10/19/23

It's not that AD outplayed Nurkic, the problem is that the Sun were trying to force it. The Suns should have been trying to get AD out of the play instead of going right at him with Nurk. The Suns did get a lot smarter as the game went on, but that first stretch was brutal. What did AD have - 4 bloc...

Re: Game Day (Preseason): Nuggets (0-0) @ Suns (1-0), Tues 10/10/23

Bol Bol has looked good at times and terrible at others. He’s still so raw and is constantly biting on fakes and trying to go for blocks. I don’t anticipate him getting much time here throughout the season, especially with Metu on the squad and what Vogel has said about him (Metu). I had to look it...

I'm eager to see the lineups. There's a good chance Vogel starts someone other than Okogie just to see how the lineup works. If Okogie does start, maybe the starting lineup is set already.

Very good game for GrayA. I would love to see us trade him for a PG. TJ McConnell, D'Anthony Melton, and Pat Connaughton make about the same $. A guy can dream, right? I would have said yes to trading Allen for TJ right after the trade, but not anymore. Allen is way better than TJ. Also I would not...

Re: Game Day (Preseason): Suns (0-0) @ Pistons (0-0), Sun 10/8/23

A lot of this has already been said, but here is my take. Keep in mind that training camp just opened, and that it is shorter than it was in the old days. The team hasn't had nearly as much time together as they used to before the first game of the preseason. Booker and Beal are READY. Glad to see O...

Re: 2023 Suns General Offseason/PostSeason News Thread

I think you are underestimating his impact. He's head and shoulders the best shooter on the roster besides the obvious guys. I'd be surprised if he's under 20mpg after a full season with this team. Who are the obvious guys? Book, Beal, KD, and EG? I hope his half season not missing anything holds u...

Has there been a more divisive player in Suns history than Ayton? We used to have the same kind of discussions about Leandro Barbosa. There were 2 or 3 people who thought he should be an allstar.

As for the Cam vs PJ debate - this whole discussion feels very old fashioned to me. PJ is a "true 4"? Cam is done developing at age 27? Y'all it's 2023.

Re: 2023 Suns General Offseason/PostSeason News Thread

Anyone else think KD could be our 3rd option this season? Not a knock on his talent, of course, but I think Beal's energy and activity will match Booker's. Those two will lead the offense, and KD will fit in where he needs to. In fact, Beal might be our first true star who can play at Book's pace si...
