Game Day: Suns (13-23) @ Kings (12-22), Fri 12/29/17

Post by Superbone »

Time: 8:00 pm AZ (7:00 pm PT / 10:00 pm ET)
Place: Golden 1 Center, Sacramento, CA
TV: FSAZ/NBALP

The Kings are coming off a win against the Cavs where the 40 year old Vince Carter came off the bench to score 21 while the Suns were the talk of the NBA Tuesday night after a fantastic alley oop dunk out of bounds play with 0.6 seconds remaining on the clock to give Jay Triano the 100th victory of his career.

Go Suns!!!

Yay, another chance to get a win against a team we wish would pass us in the lottery. :-)

I hope we win, Booker throws up a 27/7/7 line, Chriss double-doubles, Jackson goes 15-7-4 with good shooting numbers and Bender hits 4/7 from 3, plays good D and has a few successful drives to the hoop.

Thank God for the Kings. The one team with which we can pretty much always complete the "well, at least we're not the______" statement.

I fully expect us to beat the Kings. I have a personal rivalry with them just because of the last 2 drafts. Jackson and Chriss need to come out firing in this one.

Unfortunately, Jackson is scheduled for a bad shooting night. Let's see if he can bounce back from his bad game vs the grizz.

In this simulation my maths is telling me that is like 70 for your quartet, add in TJ's usual 20 and we should be dropping 120 on these fools !! :) :lol:

Bogdan doesn't suck, but I'm not upset about not being the team to give him 36/3, considering he plays the one position where we already have a legitimate starter,

Yeah having talent on this roster would suck. I'm glad we have Chriss instead.

Back-to-back 3s with no hesitation. Looked good.

35-point 1st Q for the Suns. Been a while.
Go Suns!

Great first quarter again! Loved seeing Bender hitting those consecutive 3s.

I think I'd rather give 10/3 to Chriss than 36/3 to BB.

We're 13-23 (apparently in the way to 14-23) with Chriss. What do you think our record would be if we had BB instead? Better by enough to be worth $26M?

If you'd rather have Chriss over BB there isn't really much else to discuss.
