Game Day (Early Start!): Suns (39-28) @ Bucks (43-24), Sun 3/17/24

[Wally_West]

KD sucks but dude been getting mugged with no calls.

[Wally_West]

James Jones needs to go. Bob Myers is right there.


Frank needs to go too but replacing him will be tricky. No clear candidates that we can point too and say they would definitely be better than him.

[Uncle_Gene]

Milwaukee is white hot.

55% from the field and 63% from three point land so far.

OUCH !

[bajanguy008]

Gone to the small ball lineup
KD on Lopez, kept him off the offensive board then stripped him

Attack him on pick n roll
Got drive and kick 3

Bucks probably gonna bring Portis now

[bajanguy008]

KD again
Block on Portis trying to attack him in the post

Hope we run one of our nice ATOs to cut it under 10

OUCH !

This keeps happening to the Suns. The dork numbers say the Suns are getting better defensively, but the eye test says otherwise. Something doesn't add up.

[Wally_West]

Lillard clearly over the back foul- no call

Smh

[Wally_West]

lol wtf am I watching? 6 pt game now

[bajanguy008]

lol wtf am I watching? 6 pt game now

With under 2mins left
Really bad reach in foul by Ish to give them 2FTs

Some bogus calls and then trust Dame to hit the deep 3 to end the quarter

94 - 100
94 - 109

[bajanguy008]

We tried to keep playing small ball but KD went out
Royce had a lil stint
Then Grayson subbed out and both Royce and Ish were on

Offense stalled

Fake comeback

[bajanguy008]

Royce threw up a prayer to start the quarter
Seeing that go in seems to have unlocked him

Need KD to get something going

[bajanguy008]

I have to really check if Book is 3 of his last 25......
Geeez man

Brad just been living in the paint again
Back to 10 and can still get interesting if we get back to 6

[wpmiller42]

We've done ourselves no favors with poor defense, but the officiating is atrocious. Dame gets the touch fouls, meanwhile KD, Book, and Beal are getting mugged with no call.

[specialsauce]

I fucking hate KD and Book at this point

High egos, too cool to do the intangibles, just want to score and get theirs.

So easy to stop them. God forbid KD dribbles the ball- instant turnover.

God forbid Booker shut the fuck up with the refs and actually focus for 48 minutes.

[MightyMoog]

I don’t understand how Ish jumps the depth chart over Thad?

I’m ready for this team to be stripped down and started from scratch. Trade the big 3 while they still have value.

Fire the GM, fire the coach and the staff. Build a team that can work in the new NBA. Since the NBA decided not to call fouls, puts this team at a huge disadvantage.

You're kind of stuck with Beal. I'd love to deal Book. He's peaked. He isn't a leader and the modern game isn't his jam. Move on from him. He's more focused on his sneakers and lifestyle

[bajanguy008]

Over the last couple seasons I always pay attention and comment on Book's poise. We Suns fans will say he doesn't get the superstar whistle others get and he probably feels the same way but tripping bout it for multiple possessions or letting it take him out of his game accomplishes nothing.
I'm fairly certain all of us know the facial expression and gestures when he's about to do some ill advised stuff smh

KD doesn't like people getting into his body and again refs being on some BS at times takes him out of his game also. The short guy on Bucks probably guarded him the most and made him miserable

Brad seems to be the one who relishes the physical play and just keeps going at guys

Booker has grown through the system as a driven player steadily improving with little ego.

Unfortunately, with the success it appears his ego has now surpassed his ability. More focused on publicity and branding than working on his game and winning.

[Scarecrow33]

To paraphrase Dennis Green, These Suns are NOT who we thought they were.

Everybody gets fat shooting 3s against us yet our big 3 rarely take open spot ups early in the clock.

We commit so many careless live ball turn overs that get turned into points against us, it's getting hard to watch. To lose to the team who beat us in the finals when we are at full strength and they are without Giannis is inexcusable.

Need to take a break from these guys.
