Game Day: Kings (8-25) @ Suns (19-14), Fri 1/2/26

[specialsauce]

In fact your top two Suns players had very good games.

If only they could go up against the kings second string every night!

Last season, KD and the boys would have lost by double digits.

Excuse me sir, we actually came back from double digits to win last season.

This reminds me of the video Cage made of "the shot" in the bubble.

Both of those young defenders are morons for close guarding Oso 30 feet from the rim.

Only caught the highlights but good to see us respond after the Cavs game and take care of the business against the Kings. They were hanging around in the 1st half but we took control in the 3rd qtr. Book was feeling it so it was nice to see him dominant and playing his game from midrange. Too often last year he was just hunting 3s. The rest of the team stepped up with everyone + in +/-.

[Mori Chu]

+/- aside, Oso had an awesome game, which was readily apparent if you were watching the game at all. 15 points on 5-6 shooting, 6 boards, an assist, 2 steals, 2 blocks. He was all over the place on offense, with good passes, screens, cuts to the basket, put-backs, ... This was basically the peak Oso experience. He was great. Anybody looking for a reason to hate on Oso should save it for a different game.

Come on, man. Oso SHOCKED them with his speed and agility!

[Superbone]

That's a great picture in the "Suns Win" tweet. Looks like a movie poster.

I think there’s probably some worry they will need to step up on a DHO, but ya they got caught in a bad spot

Don't forget 5-5 from the FT line. That makes me very happy. He has been working on his game.

And 5-5 from the FT line!

Edit: see Bone above.

His one miss from the field tho …

I might be kind of casual but these guys seem to have some decent chemistry.

Which was the hamstring that Green pulled?

[pickle]

Saucy's favorite, O'Neale, with the best +/- of any player in the game. You've got a real eye for the game, man.

My self proclaimed neutral observation on Royce is that he has pretty awful lateral movement but has outstanding hands. Last year’s version of him was not that useful on the court but this year he has been much more willing to launch from the outside and that has turned him into a net plus on the court and if we do end up moving him I will miss him. And there’s something to be said for being the guy who does what he’s told, doesn’t complain, and does all the dirty work on the court. Also I think Ott has to get the credit for Royce playing more effectively this year than last.

Book needs to just stick to his bread and butter mid range.
