Game Day: Suns (38-34) @ Kings (43-29), Fri 3/24/23

Post by Superbone »

Time: 7:00 pm AZ (7:00 pm PT/10:00 pm ET)
Place: Golden 1 Center, Sacramento, CA
TV: BSAZ/NBALP

We couldn't beat them in Phoenix with Ayton. Not sure how we can expect to beat them without Ayton in Sacramento. The team has been in a funk as of late. Let's hope they can snap out before it's too late. Suns are currently in a virtual tie with the Clippers for 4th in the conference. There's a good chance the Suns will move into 5th after this game. They also struggle with free throw disparity. The Suns haven't shot more free throws than their opponent since February.

I don't have high hopes for this one. But maybe the guys will show up and surprise me. SAC has a lot of good 3-point shooters, and for some reason the Suns of late don't seem interested in staying at home on 3-point shooters. So my general guess is that we'll give up a ton of 3s while not scoring many ourselves, which is a pretty good recipe to lose a game.

We're better when our bench is making shots.

The third quarter has gone to complete shit because of the officials. Flops and missed legitimate fouls on nearly every possession.

Boy the wheels really came off in the 3rd. We had them on their heels most of the game. Still not scared of the Kings.

That's pretty much what happened. They allowed the refs to take them out of the game. Booker's dumb reactionary foul on Sabonis and subsequent technical foul broke the damn. Everything was fucked after that; no rhythm, no composure.

The Kings shot terribly in the first half. They're always beatable with solid defense for 48 minutes.

Monty doesn't mind barking about the officials post game. Why doesn't he light one up on the floor and get a T or ejection from time to time?

Ya hard to watch a game like this and not see how refs make biased calls. Suns did it to themselves by pissing him off, but he’s definitely favoring the Kings now because he’s not happy with how the suns players are acting.

Eh.. I think he got hit but it wasn't worthy of his reaction.
