Game Day: Suns (14-13) @ Kings (16-10), Fri 12/22/23

Time: 8:00 pm AZ (7:00 pm PT/10:00 pm ET)
Place: Golden 1 Center, Sacramento, CA
TV: AZ Family 3TV/NBALP

The Phoenix Suns are spiraling downward as one of the biggest disappointments over the first third of the NBA season.

Star guard Devin Booker can feel the urgency and put out the "It's time to pick it up" message on Thursday, one day before the Suns visit the Sacramento Kings.

Phoenix has dropped seven of its past 10 games and allowed a 16-point lead to slip away Tuesday night before losing 109-104 at Portland. The lowly Trail Blazers snapped a seven-game losing streak with the comeback win.

I mean, based on recent performance, we're probably going to get absolutely stomped here, right? I guess if both KD and Book go off for 40+ we'll be in it, but otherwise we probably can't stop the Kings' offense. I think we're in for a rough stretch of games.

I don't believe this game will be close. I think the Kings like everyone else lately are just gonna bomb on us from 3 and crush the offensive boards. We lose by 20.
Jones and Vogel gotta go.

No Nurk, no problem. Eubanks holds Sabonis in check, Fox has a downer for a game while Book and KD sync up, Yuta hits four 3s, EG hits 6, Okogie comes back and gives us a double double. Suns by 7.

There hasn’t been anything lately to indicate that this team has any chance against a playoff-caliber opponent, but I hope you’re right.

Eubanks is ass.
What is smallball? I play basketball. I'm not a regular big man. I can switch from the center to the guards. The game is evolving. I'd be dominAyton if the WNBA would let me in. - Ayton

It's a kings broadcast so I'd have not watched anyway, but lemme tell ya, taking a break isn't too bad. If not for the forums I wouldn't have even known there was a game today.

Hopefully all these fouls bite the kings in the ass at the end.

You can tell Coach is desperate and trying lots of guys to see what works. Azubuike, Saben Lee, Yuta, Metu.
