    The Grayson Allen thread

    Yeah, that's fair. Most teams won't have 2 all-nba level perimeter players, but two of them happen to be in the west with Clips being the other one.

    2023-24 Around the NBA Thread

    Mav's record (this year) with both Luka / Kyrie is 19-12. That's on track for a 50 win season. That's better than mediocre. In comparison, Suns' record with big 3 is 11-7, which is on track for, drumroll... a 50 win season. (11-6 & 53 win season if you discount the game Beal played only 5 minutes).

    The Grayson Allen thread

    In a vaccum, having him defensively isn't the end of the world. He's still a pretty smart team defender and his hands are pretty good if the ball is exposed at all. But in a lineup with Beal and Booker, it becomes problematic at times as one of those 3 has to defend the best guard on the other...

    Suns updates and discussion for the 2023-24 season

    Wow, had no idea until this interview that 20pts matches Royce O'Neale's career high (tied with a couple other times). Feel like he could break that this year with the looks he'll get.

    Suns updates and discussion for the 2023-24 season

    Western conference is just wild this year. Phoenix started yesterday as the 8th seed going up against LA. With the win, they were temporarily in 7th. Dallas loses, PHX up to 6th. NOP loses, up to 5th. Sac wins last night, back down to 6th. Sac loses tonight on a B2B and now Phoenix is back in 5th.

    Oh I don't know... Luka can give him a pretty good run for his money.

    The Grayson Allen thread

    The rotation (barring injury) seems pretty set looking at the minutes and hearing what Frank's been saying: Book Beal KD Allen Nurk Gordon O'Neale Bol With a minor sprinkling of Eubanks, Okogie, and Young; who might get a bit more playing time with foul trouble or with specific matchups. I'd...

    With Indiana beating Dallas, Suns are back in 6th.

    First win I can remember this season where neither KD nor Book had a good game. Nurkic played fantastic today, and he usually struggles vs AD.

    Suns @ Mavericks Thursday game thread 2-22-2024: Post All-Star Break

    Good minutes from Eric Gordon, communicating and moving his feet reasonably well on defense + some nice drives on offense.

    Suns @ Mavericks Thursday game thread 2-22-2024: Post All-Star Break

    Would have rather seen Royce replacing EG so that we can throw him against Luka, I'm guessing EG gets the starting assignment on him with lots of help

    Durant to Suns

    Think CP3 has a shot? Only 3 years but also a Finals appearance... Barkley was also MVP and was clearly the best player on the team though. I personally don't think CP3 should get in, but that kinda makes KD's case more difficult, even if he had multiple good years. A title would change the...

    Suns @ Mavericks Thursday game thread 2-22-2024: Post All-Star Break

    Probably a warm/lukewarm take, but I'd consider swapping Royce into the starting lineup with Grayson. Gives a bit more offensive/defensive balance in the starting lineup. That being said, there's something to be said for consistency/cohesion, and Allen has been playing very well so I'm ok with...

    I'm guessing he'll play one of the 2 games on this back to back.

    Hockey is weird in general because there's pretty much sanctioned fighting on the ice, but they also had a well publicized incident where an on-ice incident went to the courts: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Todd_Bertuzzi%E2%80%93Steve_Moore_incident

    Solid win given the circumstances. Just about the only disappointing thing was Nasir Little's play. O'Neale is a keeper for sure, love his play so far.

    I know it's the Pistons and all but this defense has been good so far.

    He also made that 3 after he pulled it. Hope the week and a bit off lets him recover

    Kings @ Suns Tuesday game thread 2-13-2024

    It was a breath of fresh air with Okogie and O'neale on defense. Watch them closely and you can see how much more solid the overall team defense is because of how much they help and recover. They definitely mask some of the mistakes by Allen and Gordon.

    Kings @ Suns Tuesday game thread 2-13-2024

    As much as we like to rag on Vogel, he won us the game today. The reinsertion of Nurkic in the 4th to mix things up, going away from Bol in the 2nd half and bringing Little in, trusting JO and O'neale as a closing group, all these things contributed to the win. He had that long stretch without...
