Re: Big 3: How many regular season games together?

The whole thing is pretty sad though.
It’s the hope that kills you but even the big 3 haven’t been what we’d hoped, never mind the supporting cast.
Their talk of ‘it’s all for the playoffs’ will be interesting as it plays out.
Always hoping for a championship, expecting an earlier than wanted exit.

Re: Suns trade for Royce O’Neale

What I thought we needed more than anything was a secondary rebounder for when our bigs switched. Is he a good rebounder? If we can secure the 1st defensive rebound consistently I can't see many teams beating us Same. For me the two biggest challenges we seem to face are our turn overs and especial...

Not up to date with the buyout market. Anyone who moves the needle for us?
Maybe Biyombo for center depth?

Re: NBA TRADE DEADLINE 2024

Vogel is reportedly content with what we have but I’m sure that is a smoke screen. Everyone can see the weaknesses of the side so it’s down to the front office to work some magic. I just feel this team is 1/2 players short of being really competitive for a title this year. If we stand pat we will fa...

The sooner we get any trades done the better so we know what we’ve got left to work with.

Re: Game Day: Suns (26-20) @ Heat (24-22), Mon 1/29/24

Do they have any length in their squad? If so we will of course play small ball with very little defensive effort and then we will wonder why we get out rebounded and out hustled.

Re: Suns News: Week 14 (1/22/24 - 1/28/24)

This is a frustrating one. Bridges would definitely help in many ways but comes with proven baggage. However, we still revere and honour a different player who interfered with a minor. Does Bridges get another chance (yes he’s on strike 3 already) or is he forever ‘that guy’? Do we lower KJ’s banner...

Re: Game Day: Suns (19-18) @ Lakers (19-19), Thurs 1/11/24

Caught up with the full game today. The win flattered the Lakers to be fair. Garbage minutes almost the whole of the 4th to get some reps for the bench in. Grayson and Eric left many a wide open 3 off the board. KD was focused on Lebron and still got a nice return. And Bradley seems to have shown up...

Re: Should we have drafted Tyrese Haliburton instead of Jalen Smith?

For me it is the biggest challenge we’ve had as a franchise under James Jones. His draft acumen is lacking and so frustrating. Yes, we could go back even further with some older picks, but the guy is still here and now we are bereft of picks down to some of the recent trades. This board really would...

Re: Game Day: Nets (12-10) @ Suns (13-10), Wed 12/13/23

This was one of those games where an even slightly productive bench would help and we had our 6th & 7th men out. Agree there’s still much to work on and it’s not going to be the beating of teams in 3 quarters as some predicted with the big 3, but most teams would struggle with two of their top 7...

Re: Game Day (IST): Suns (12-8) @ Lakers (12-9), Tues 12/5/23

I was indifferent about Cam Reddish before this season, but now I hate him. His only value on the court is fouling and he gets away with way too much because he's on the Lakers with LeBron. Agreed. 2 serious fouls and possibly flagrant ignored along with others. And the announcers played it down bo...

Re: Around the League: Week 7 (12/4 - 12/10)

Yes, apparently counting to 3 on a travel is a difficult thing but they will happily let some take 4, 5 or 6 on some moves and that’s no issue.
Just adds to the absolute nonsense of consistency you see all the time.

Re: Game Day (In-Season Tournament): Lakers (3-5) @ Suns (4-4), Fri 11/10/23

I think someone said we are -46 in the 4th quarter this season!!
Will be interesting to see that number ‘when’ and ‘if’ we get the big 3 playing together. But it doesn’t bode well if one of them goes down towards the end of the season.

Every damn televised game of the Suns in the UK so far this season has been an L!!!
Sort out your 4th quarter mess and start putting teams away when you’ve got a lead!
Infuriating at times.

Not that I want to help this mind numbing Groundhog Day of a thread reach 200 but sadly any post I make helps it get there.
