Game Day: Suns (12-9) @ Heat (10-10), Sat 12/7/24

Time: 6:00 pm AZ (5:00 pm PT/8:00 pm ET)
Place: Kaseya Center, Miami, FL
TV: AZ Family 3TV/NBALP

I'm not sure the Suns can take the Heat. You would think the Suns would be all about heat but they're content to be cool. No intensity on defense. The Heat coming off an absolute demolishing of the Lakers. The Suns coming off a lackluster blown opportunity against the Pelicans. Most likely a recipe for disaster. First of a back to back.

Go Suns!!!

This is a must win in my eyes. No way we win tomorrow against the Magic. Now with Franz Wagner balling out.


*sees that Franz Wagner is out indefinitely*


Okay, well even if we lose this one, we should win tomorrow then.


*Lose both games*


FUCK!!!?&&(&&

No faith in this team winning either of these games in Florida. The only certainty is uncertainty.

The only uncertainty for tonight is whether the Heat shoot 55% from the field or from 3.

No Dunn tonight.

Did they start already? I'll go check the box score in an hour or so.

More of the same. Not doing anything great, hunting 3s and hitting some. Defense is average and the Heat are staying close or taking a quick lead. No confidence we can break away or even hold them off in the 2nd half.

2nd straight game where they came out at halftime and immediately gave up their halftime lead.

Booker having a shit game.

This just feels like another standard loss for us. Nothing about the recent product would indicate that we are destined for a good season.

This team has more talent than it's showing. Bud just sucks.

We hear so much about "Heat culture." What would be "Suns culture"?

Suns chased superstars. Miami waits for the right superstars to come to them. Riley doesn't compromise.

The Suns with a big hole in the middle tonight - 4 points from their centers, 60 points allowed in the paint.

Booker and Beal just aren't leaders.

Tonight they've combined for 11/33 FG.
