Game Day (Early Start!): Suns (42-35) @ Bulls (29-48), Sun 4/5/26

Post by Superbone »

Time: 12:30 pm AZ (12:30 pm PT/3:30 pm ET)
Place: United Center, Chicago, IL
TV: AZ Family 3TV/NBALP

The Suns wrap up their 4 game road trip in Chicago. They have struggled to reintegrate players as they become healthy. Suns are hoping to get right with this one. But nothing is easy these days for our Suns. Their defense has been atrocious and opposing teams have scored in the paint at will against them. This is something they're going to have to figure out to have any chance in the playoffs, let alone getting past the play-in tournament.

Thanks for making the game day thread and also for tagging it as an early start. You have saved me more than once from missing the game with that early start tag.

Cool. Glad that helps. I'll be at an Easter brunch and will have to watch after. We need to use the Bulls to get right. It will be interesting to see if Ott mixes it up or continues to freeze out Dunn and Maluach. I know Maluach is still a teenager but he's really starting to impact the game. Even less minutes available now though that Williams is back. I'd like to see an even minutes distribution between the three. They all bring something different to the table.

We better blow them out by 20, no reason to lose to this Chicago team.

If we don't, we're going out this season with a whimper, not a bang.

Starting Goodwin? I like it. I've previously said that I like CG in the starting lineup to bring some IQ and ball movement to the starters, but that sure didn't work. The offense kind of sucked anyway, so we might as well get a 3 and D guy out there to bring some intensity. Maybe CG and Oso can get the bench back to making big runs.
in Ott we trust

Two black holes out there in Green and Brooks, probably doesn't matter who's starting at PG.

Devin Booker being a bad in game 3pt shooter will never not piss me off.

Bench mob comes in and the ball starts moving on offense and the defense tightens up. Weird.

If Jalen Green would stop settling for jumpers and just consistently pressured the rim, he'd be much more useful.

What is smallball? I play basketball. I'm not a regular big man. I can switch from the center to the guards. The game is evolving. I'd be dominAyton if the WNBA would let me in. - Ayton

Yeahhhh, it's annoying. Very much just trying to out score and hope they miss instead of using actual defensive players who can get stops.
