Suns @ Pistons Saturday game thread 1-18-2025

[Hoop Head]

Richards is quick. Good to see. He's also much more assertive than Oso as well.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns are horribly weak at center. Definitely need another 4/5.

 

[Yuma]

I just wonder how much we will pay Richards on an upcoming extension? He's cheap right now at $5 mil. He's going to garner more than that.

I only care in regards to second apron.

 

[Proximo]

Richards is making a difference.

 

[Mainstreet]

Richards cleans up a Durant miss.

 

[Mainstreet]

Durant's shot (1-8) is going to break the rim today.

He is not focused after putting on a show for the home crowd in WA, DC.

The home crowd he should care about is in Phoenix.

 

[Mainstreet]

Great to have a release valve in Richards.

 

[Yuma]

I like how Richards old school fouled that dude, and then didn't help him up.

 

[Mainstreet]

Dunn not used to having a big man that can jump behind him.

 

[Mainstreet]

Halftime:

Suns 61 - Pistons 60

 

[GatorAZ]

We should be up by 12.

"Ryan Dunn has been superb!" - Tom Chambers

 

[Yuma]

Nick Richards leading the Suns in plus/minus this game with 5. He was up double digits before the Detroit surge at the end of the half.

He's lock in for $5 million next season. An extension shouldn't be discussed for him. We need to get out of cap hell.

Some halftime stats.

Did the Suns really think they were good at center to start the season with Nurkic and Plumlee?

We were Average or C- the way Nurkic played the previous season. Then Nurkic's play has dropped off, and we didn't have room for him to do that as it is.

Arguably Plumlee > Eubanks

 

[GatorAZ]

The dreaded pointless interview.

 

[Hoop Head]

Get Richards back in there. Plumlee sucks.

 

[Mainstreet]

Time to take Plumlee out of the game.

 

[Yuma]

Get Richards back in there. Plumlee sucks.

Plumlee putting in the filler minutes.

 

[Yuma]

Man. If Durant was shooting his normal percentage, we would be up by 12.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns have to find a backup center behind Richards.
