Game Day: Suns (9 - 21) @ Timberwolves (17 - 12), Sat 12/16/17

Post by bajanguy008 »

Time: 6 pm AZ (5 pm PT / 8 pm ET)
Place: Target Center, Minneapolis, MN
TV: FSAZ/NBALP

Suns start a three game road trip tonight against the T'wolves. We are currently on a five game losing streak, last four without Booker who might be out til after Xmas. Jimmy Butler after taking a backseat has turned it on this month and they seemed to have settle in as a possible Top 4 in the Conference.
Well our execution might be still a bit head scratching but I can't fault the effort, we been in all of these last four games but just haven't played well down the stretch so to be continued....

Go Suns !!!

Thanks for the thread, bajan! It's pretty hard to watch the team lately, and there isn't all that much to say. They're just so bad.

interesting that we are actually playing Canaan at PG because when I seen him he seems more productive spotting up off d ball not running the offense

Just sit Ulis down. Really tired of watching him throw the ball to the other team.

I can remember one good game for him recently. we seem to have now gone to a 3 PG to go with the 3 C and James is the odd man out tonight.

We need to run the play where we throw it to Len or Bender in the kinda post to set up Warren at the free throw line. We should be doing everything we can to get Warren the ball in the lane. That is all he needs.

Josh is playing ok, he's aggressive and one day he'll finish his drives to the rim at a higher rate. His jumpshot is still TBD.

I can't believe we play 11 guys. Seems weird when none of them are really any good.
Go Suns!

Love Jackson's ability to grab and go. He'll turn that into a real weapon some day.

Probably the right call on Chriss, he extended the arm but I loved the aggressive move there.
