Suns @ Hawks Tuesday game thread 1-14-2025

[Mainstreet]

Tyus Jones has mostly been missing in action of late and one of his better games was against the Hawks.

Suns might want to change the rotation if he doesn't score because he is a liability on defense.

Book with 5 TOs, mostly unforced. Meanwhile, Tyus and Beal rarely touched the ball. That's not right.

 

[Mainstreet]

The shorthanded Hawks are beating the Suns bench 30-17.

Plumlee was never mobile and he is even slower with age. That signing is on the GM.

I was thrilled by the signing but I'd thought/hoped we were getting the Plumlee that made Ayton look slow and foolish. Now that I think about it, I believe he was playing for Denver at the time. So it would have been even before his run with the Clippers, IOW more years had passed than I realized. Now, he's not a horrible 3rd string center but we need a lot more since Nurkic is at best a backup to the backup to the backup.

There is really just about nothing right with this team

That's a fitting description. Most backup centers would start for the Suns.

I need to hear answers.. I can’t even enjoy the Waffle house.. If things don’t change I will start making trades. Even it it means bring back Torrey Craig.

 

[BirdGangThing]

hey we're leading

Go ahead and sign Craig if you must. At least he can play. Just don't attach any assets that will convey.

The Suns have an open roster spot, plus Bol and Lee can be traded or waived.

im just here for the rookie show - i am oso dunn with the the rest of this team rn

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns had to challenge that?

 

[Mainstreet]

Beal is limping around on the court.

 

[95pro]

We need one of those stock trackers. Beals just dropped.

 

[Mainstreet]

And Beal goes to the locker room.

 

[BirdGangThing]

beal to the locker room - not good - moved like it was a groin injury

 

[Mainstreet]

Beal stepped on a foot and rolled his ankle.

 

[Mainstreet]

I guess it's okay for Young to rake Jones across the face…

 

[Mainstreet]

End of 3rd quarter:

Hawks 89 - Suns 87

 

[Mainstreet]

That was a painful quarter to watch.

 

[Mainstreet]

Beal is back in the game.

 

[Mainstreet]

That shot was Oso short.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns trail 95-87. They look like they have forgotten how to play.

The game seemed to pivot when Durant had the ball stolen going to the basket and he didn't chase the ball down.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns allow such deep penetration by opposing offenses, it's almost impossible to stop.

 

[BirdGangThing]

kd is so good tho

 

[Mainstreet]

The game is tied at 101.
