    See the refs are doing a bang up job yet again..

    Ayton 1.25 points per FG attempt, Nurkic 1.28.

    Defense is not the reason his teams fail in the postseason, but that his offense often doesn't translate. Difference being that he doesn't even need to be the 2nd option on this team. They will be very tough to beat for anyone when healthy.

    Keep in mind that they were finding their feet and chemistry when he first got there. Seems they are now starting to gel and that could be a scary proposition, assuming they can stay healthy.

    At this point in the season a win is a win. Need to pile up whatever we can to stay up in the standings.

    PG help

    I would be down with attempting it at least. Adds a bit more ballhandling, but less shooting.

    Not saying the defense doesn't need to be better, but the offense is the most glaring problem IMO. Especially when you consider how good this offense should be on paper. If we cut down on the turnovers and made a decent percentage of our threes we would have won this game handily even if they...

    Don't know why people are harping on defense in this game. The Suns are a mediocre defense and just held the Wizards who average 116 to 108. The more glaring issue is that we just scored 112 points on a team that is giving up 126 points per game and it was on our home floor. When this team...

    Suns updates and discussion for the 2023-24 season

    Curry generally doesn't have that kind of lift on his shot either. Players like KD, Book and Beal tend to elevate when shooting over people and they have all sprained their ankles this year because of it. Beal was just unlucky that he came down as badly as he did. Don't personally think it was a...

    Just incredibly bad luck. Pretty much anyone is going to be out for some time when rolling their ankle that badly.

    If he sees the court again tonight it will be because it's not risking further injury.

    We've said that recently for the same thing with Book and KD and they came back in the same game and hardly missed time. We will see.

    In that scenario he would be losing over $4M. It wouldn't cripple Green in all likelihood, but he would feel it.

    That squad playing with some pace should score a ton of points. Cleaning up the defensive boards would probably be the biggest challenge.

    Not amazing, but they probably make us at least a little better. I would do the Bol and a 2nd for Craig in a heartbeat.

    I would love to see more of Nurk distributing from the post. Of course that requires the other guys to be active off ball.

    Nets @ Suns Wednesday game thread 12-13-2023

    I still want to see what this team can do when healthy and with a little chemistry. On paper they should be an elite offense with a lot of scorers and shooters and that would make things like rebounding feel a lot less glaring. This would also make determining the priority of who or what...

    They barely played together in preseason and camp is not the same as real game action. Ideally they would have gotten the necessary reps in the first 10-15 games of the regular season, but that of course requires them to not be out with injuries...

    Too slow to stay in front of quicker players and too weak to deal with bigger wings.

    Nets @ Suns Wednesday game thread 12-13-2023

    We have two guys that I'm surprised by in terms of playing worse than expected and they are KBD and Yuta. While I had no expectations of Yuta being a huge bench contributor, I did think he would be a more consistent 3 point threat for us. Not sure what I was seeing with KBD, but I at least...

    Concern is understandable, but the mood on this board goes well beyond concern IMO. Anyone thinking this was going to go smoothly from the jump (especially with the injuries to the big 3) were setting themselves up for disappointment. Of course I am disappointed in the amount of games they...

    Gotta be honest, I forgot we had a 20 point lead in the 4th and that certainly makes it even worse. That being said, this team took them lightly and paid for it. Let their foot off the gas when they thought they had the game won and probably assumed they would simply have a worse game the 2nd...

    Is this team as they are currently playing a championship contender? Of course not. Is this the same way we expect this team will be playing by the end of the year? IMO almost certainly not. This is simply going to come down to this teams ability to stay healthy and log a solid amount of games...

    Missing three important rotation players, playing the 2nd of a B2B, Beal still finding his legs, KD starting out rusty from not playing in about a week. Had all of that and barely lost to a decent team. Oddly enough, a lot of these discussions probably wouldn't even be happening if we had...
