Game Day: Suns (24-16) @ Pistons (28-10), Thurs 1/15/26

Post by Superbone »

Time: 5:00 pm AZ (4:00 pm PT/7:00 pm ET)
Place: Little Caesars Arena, Detroit, MI
TV: AZ Family 3TV/NBALP

Suns roll into the motor city after a tough loss in Miami. Detroit is the top team in the East by 4 games. Booker is questionable after rolling his ankle last time out while Detroit is getting a couple players back.

Xin said Book is out and he's never wrong.

I didn't think Book would miss the game in Detroit but he might if it means playing in New York.

I think we might get horribly blown out in this one. DET is a really talented team, we're on their home floor, we may not have Book (and are missing Green, etc.), and they're on 5 days of rest. Recipe for disaster. I believe in this team but I think the stars may be aligned for us to take a tough loss here.

0-2 start would be tough. May be a rough road trip.

We're due for a slump. Don't overreact.

Our guys will still compete and entertain.

It's still crazy how much more entertaining this team is this year at losing then the last 2 years teams were. The last 2 years you could see the team mailing it in when they were down. Last two years teams remind me of those Emo kids. lol

With Ishbia being there, I expect the guys to go hard. Don't be surprised if we upset them.

No. I guess you didn't read post two.

Love this team, but this is a bad matchup.
Pistons by 17.
A fun team to watch again. A trade or two away from being a serious contender...

So CG, Grayson, Royce, Brooks, Williams with Goodwin, Dunn, Sheer, Oso off the bench? Starters will have to do a lot of heavy lifting offensively unless Ott mixes up the starting lineup with maybe Goodwin in the backcourt and keeps Grayson coming off the bench. He's opted for offense in the past tho.

Yeah no surprise about Book
Only question is if we're gonna also be extra cautious with him

It's a bummer cause although we've showed our quality against the toughest in the West, these were some good quality matchups for this East road trip

Being so short handed is unfortunate

Since the game is local to me tonight I have to watch it on the local Fanduel channel. That means I have listen to George Blaha who is about the most annoying play caller.
