Game Day: Suns (27-20) @ Nets (19-27), Wed 1/31/24

I don't agree with Perk but I do think we could do a better job scheming things for Beal to get easier looks and more shots.

At the expense of Book or KD? There's only so many shots to go around and Beal has been pretty efficient in his role for the most part.

Yea I guess. Just feels like he hasn't really found his niche within the offense and really gone off for a stretch of games like I've been expecting.

Sure, but he's also never been 3rd fiddle, for a guy that's been a 30ppg scorer previously it's gotta be an adjustment. I'd be more worried about him if he were a full season into this and still having the same problems.

The broken nose has seemed to really throw him off these last few games.

This whole body language thing was news to me. Is this really an issue?

[Flagrant Fowl]

No. Kendrick Perkins and ESPN are the issue.

100%. Perk is a joke. It was a big nothing. Just finding stupid stuff to criticize. How does anyone listen to what he says?

I mean...the video evidence looked convincing.

Pretty sure Beal’s “bad” body language is because he’s been struggling with his mask. Shooting like Josh Okogie since his face was smashed in.

You're being serious? It was two examples where all he did was stand at the 3-point line and then head back to defense when the shot went up. There was a lot of reading into it to come to a bad body language conclusion.

Like Wally says, most of the bad body language I see is from him responding to his poor shooting. He's frustrated by that.

[Nodack]

That didn’t start until the mask. He’ll either get used to it or be like some who get sick of it and just take it off and risko.

Who the heck is Zeke Chapman?

Maybe that’s it. He’s just frustrated with the mask. That makes some sense.

Isn't that Rex's son? I remember watching him play at Chaparral High School.

Ah. I see the resemblance now. No wonder I’ve seen Rex hanging around so much lately.

[JeremyG]

He probably told his son not to work for the Suns until Sarver was gone

All the former players are much relieved and finally feel embraced.

Also, IIRC, Chapman worked in the front office under both Colangelo and Sarver.
