Yea man I had a hunch that you would lean towards starting Nader too
Kool
Solid call

Start Galloway

I wasn’t impressed at Nader’s debut with the Suns and then he got hurt. I was pretty skeptical about his play when he came back and started getting PT. I have been pleasantly impressed. He has game. I do miss Galloway though. I think they will both get burn this game.

Good job with the game day thread!

I just look back at it and found it necessary to adjust the Suns purple
smh lol

I actually think it would be smart to start Langston Galloway in Booker's place. He gives a bunch of shooting and scoring to replace what we lose in Booker. And then the other guys don't have to adjust their roles and minutes as much. Somehow I feel like Monty won't go that route and will instead start the dud that is Jevon Carter, but we'll see.

Ok had to knock off a couple things at work fore getting back here

I think he should start the Big Wing lineup with either Nader or Crowder
My thinking is Gary Harris (enemy#1) is athletic and plays big , he is who Book would have been guarding and I don't like that matchup for Gallo as both Harris n Barton can probably use their size against him.
I more prefer Payne/Gallo going against their bench unit of Morris n Campazzo who are small guards and we probably need to win bench scoring tonight

Why are the Suns not on Sportsurge tonight?

Suns starting ALL the wings. Bridges, cam Johnson, and Crowder.

Ayton off to a hot start already with 8 points.

Ayton looking good, being aggressive in the post and drawing a couple of fouls. 3s aren't falling so we're going to need some guys to start attacking or run some halfcourt sets for cutters. Can't just settle for 3s all night without Book out there. Stix getting in there now so let's see what he's got.

The 3s are not falling so far. Hurting us

Yeah, I'm glad Monty has given him a chance.

Stix with a nice block on Jokic. Nader and Payne seem to be our only guys willing to take it inside. If the 3s don't start falling it'll be a long night.

The switching on P&R against Murray/Jokic has been really hard for us. Every time the Nugs get a switch they're scoring. Jokic in particular can really punish our little guys if he gets the ball inside. I wish we would force guys like Harris and Millsap to beat us.
