Game Day: Suns (42-34) @ Hornets (40-36), Thurs 4/2/26

[Superbone]

Time: 4:00 pm AZ (4:00 pm PT/7:00 pm ET)
Place: Spectrum Center, Charlotte, NC
TV: AZ Family 3TV/NBALP

Prepare to have a Ball. A LaMelo Ball and a battle, that is. Hornets have been playing well. Suns have struggled on the road. Can the Suns play with defensive intensity for four quarters? Can they stop opposing teams from getting to the basket at will? They had better learn fast or this will be a quick playoff run. And play the bench mob for god's sake! Fleming, Dunn, and Maluach, along with Goody can cause some defensive havoc. We need that! And if Brooks takes a terrible shot, yank him from the game! I don't care if he's a veteran, he should know better. We might be better off if he gets another tech but let's see if he can contain himself for once.

Aw...



Book is telling Brooks to get his shit together! ...or else!

[JJ Slim]

When I first glanced at that picture my first thought it was Joe Kleine on the left. I did a double take and then realized it was Colin.

[Split T]

Colin has tied the franchise record for 3s in a season

[Split T]

No defense in this one so far

[Split T]

I really wish they’d call moving screens…Diabate moves a lot on his screens

[Split T]

There’s the record for Colin

[TOO]

What is this trash ass offense we got going on here?

[ShelC]

Getting a less-is-more vibe from the team right now in terms of healthy bodies.

[Wally_West]

Heads fully inserted in ass right now

[Mori Chu]

Hornets are a pretty scary team. We look outmatched here in the 3rd. They are faster, bigger, and seem to have a lot more energy and movement than we do.

[AmareIsGod]

Fuck the Suns.

[Flagrant Fowl]

Not particularly worried about losing this specific game, but the whole team is out of sync with each other and their roles/minutes.

We'll be lucky to make the playoffs if these trends continue.

[ShelC]

Are we....are we cooked?

[Wally_West]

Never good to limp dick into the playoffs, might be a death sentence for play in

[Uncle_Gene]

This team has to regain their identity and fast. Playoff time is literally around the corner. All those players missing time and not coming back has messed with this teams cohesion. Suns are not a cohesive unit now.

They got a couple of days in between till the game Sunday at Chicago. They have to recreate and sustain defensive identity.

We know they're going to be in the play-in tournament, but you don't want to lose that 7th seed and have to play on the road.

[Kryptonic]

Ya'll need to remember the expectations at the beginning of the year.... Good lord. The season could end today, and I'd still be happy with how things turned out, given how everything played out.

[The Bobster]

Suns have lost 8 of their last 11.

[LazarusLong]

Out-rebounded 47-30.
Suns played with little energy and little flow after the first quarter.

Defense suffers when Green and Gillespie are on the court together along with Book.
Fleming playing just eight minutes is unwise.
