Suns News: Week 6 11/19-11/25

Those are some crazy numbers. He is 50th in the league for On-Off Net Offensive Rating, but is so far ahead of everyone else in On-Off Net Defensive Rating that it still puts him first overall. We literally allow 19 less points per game when he is on the court, and score an extra 8. He is a plus 27 player on our team.

Bridges is really good. #McDo

And the alternatives (Jackson and Canaan) are really bad.

Did anyone listen to the latest Solar Panel podcast? Ep. 101. Espo suggested the '19 pick, Mil pick, Warren and Jackson for Wall. I was listening while driving to Flag and nearly drove off the road when I heard this.

Espo is a fucking idiot.

Espo is a f*** idiot.

He certainly didn't leave any doubt that he is completely out of touch with reality. That's worse than Gambo trying his best to give that '19 pick to Boston for Rozier.

Can we start a campaign to get Bridges to shoot more? His high in FG attempts this month is 8 even though he's shooting 48% from the floor while playing great defense. I don't really get it. I know there's several guys that need their touches, but assert yourself young man!

Also, does anyone else say "Mi-Kale" in their head instead of "Michael?" Or am I the only one?

I thought that’s what it was.

Apparently it's neither. Just looked it up and although I've heard announcers say Michael it's Mick-El.

Yep, just heard it from the horse’s mouth.

Wow, Trae, that ain’t good.

Why is he being allowed 5.6 3PA/G when he’s shooting .226?

how do you explain your boy luka doncic only at #7 when he's very productive and the ball is in his hands all the time? (and his team has a better record than phx)

He's their tank commander.

Atlanta is openly tanking. But I do worry he'll develop (already developed?) bad habits.

I think Lin will get in the way of the tank a little bit. I guess we could take him off their hands for almost nothing.

Suns now have wins against:

Dallas (8-9)
San Antonio (9-9)
Memphis (12-6)
Milwaukee (13-5)

Of our 18 games, only 3 opponents currently have a sub-.500 record. We’re in the midst of a really tough schedule.

Add the Boston and 76ers games to that list, they just had not figured out how to close games yet.

That is why I think that they will run off like a 10 game win streak sometime soon. The schedule has been even more brutal than we expected it to be.
