Wizards @ Suns Saturday game thread 1-25-2025

[Mainstreet]

RO had a path to basket at a fastbreak but chose to go behind 3pt line, with a miss after 3 misses in a role already. Not wise.

Royce is a bit of a streak shooter.

richards 15 rebounds in the first half on the first game nurk is back - ouch

richards making the most of all this

Richards has 15 rebounds already. Remember that Nurkic set the single game record for rebounds in a game. Could be interesting if Richards can get to 30 in this game.

 

[Yuma]

Nurkic had 31 on March 3, 2024 against Oklahoma City.

 

[Mainstreet]

Richards doesn't like being fouled.

 

[Hoop Head]

Richards deserves a raise. Appreciate his effort.

I say this with some reservations since his deal isn't guaranteed next year and Ishbia waives him to re-sign him for an obscene amount. Value deals are what makes good teams great for extended periods.

 

[Mainstreet]

Beal's three could have brought rain.

KD’s passing is terrible. There were three passed directly to the wizards.

KD’s passing is terrible. There were three passed directly to the wizards.

It's almost impressive how bad it is considering he's in year 16, I think. It's interesting how that's never been a point of contention when he's mentioned as being a great first option. He's a first option by default because once he gets the ball if he passes it then it'll be a turnover so he might as well shoot.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Royce is terrible tonight

 

[Chris_Sanders]

I love this Richards kid. This is all I wanted Ayton to be.

It's gross this is a 7 point game.

4 point game

 

[Chris_Sanders]

4 points. Bud finally decides to call a time out. Guys aren't running.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Royce to -14. He looks like he is stuck in mud.

 

[clyde2tw]

both Allen and RO are streaky 3pt shooters, and Book's is off all game, yet they keep missing 3s that led to fastbreaks

 

[Yuma]

KD’s passing is terrible. There were three passed directly to the wizards.

Well, for most of his career he was a finisher and didn't pass much at all.

 

[Hoop Head]

The lazy passes need to stop. Quit throwing it crosscourt. At least step into passes you make. This is basketball 101.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

with the last game, Royce is now 2-15 from the field and 2-13 from 3.

You are better off playing Bol Bol right now

 

[Mainstreet]

Durant picked a good time to hit shots.

 

[AzStevenCal]

This team plays such inspiring basketball, they make it so easy to be a fan.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Plumlee zero body on Valencunas.

Suns are missing Okogie with Dunn out.
