    Suns updates and discussion for the 2023-24 season

    And also problematic as his percentages drop in the 4th. A lot of these are good to great looks (catch and shoot in the corners), but his inability to convert these at even a league average rate hurt.

    Really curious if they'll just trim the meniscus in hopes of a playoff run or properly repair it and write the season off...

    Suns updates and discussion for the 2023-24 season

    Since Jan 1st (beal was back on 12/29 I believe), Suns are still last: https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask/lowest-team-4th-quarter-scoring-per-quarter-since-january-1st

    Not only deeper, but their stars have a better skillset balance and better 2 way players. That isn't even mentioning the coaching difference.

    Suns updates and discussion for the 2023-24 season

    2nd or 3rd round? Even that's optimistic, IMO. If the playoffs started today, Phoenix would be matched up with LAC. Both teams healthy, the Suns would be lucky to make it out of the 1st.

    Suns @Nets Wednesday game thread 1-31-2024

    And nets were content switching/trapping, taking the ball out of Books/KDs/Beals hands and into Nurkic's (and to a lesser extent, Eubanks). It's nice to see that he can punish it if teams choose to employ that strategy.

    The idea of Ben Simmons from 4 years ago would be great for this team, but the current reality isn't it

    Suns @Nets Wednesday game thread 1-31-2024

    I liked the couple tweaks Vogel had with the lineup tonight. First, he got Book out with a few mins left in the third so that he could start the fourth to (theoretically) have a better offensive start to the quarter. Second, I liked the KBD, Okogie, Drewbanks trio getting minutes together as a...

    Yup, I felt this way last year too (again, assuming he could get healthy). His deficiencies in shooting would be well covered with KD, Beal, Book, and his defense could help save legs for someone like KD.

    Bol finally upgraded to just 'questionable'. Maybe he'll be back before the end of the road trip.

    Suns updates and discussion for the 2023-24 season

    Yeah, it's true, the Suns as a team need to drive to the basket more, but in theory wide open 3s for KD and EG are good shots. Beal's 3s were a little more iffy, and he is the best suited to be attacking the basket more so that can be tweaked a bit.

    Suns updates and discussion for the 2023-24 season

    Yup, I said the same in the game thread. The ball was moving around a lot better but shots just weren't falling. Can view them easily here

    Suns @ Heat Monday game thread 1-29-2024

    I wasn't as bothered by the 4th quarter this game as much as previous. They had a lot of really good looks on offense, shots just weren't falling. There were a lot of wide open 3s, and a few missed bunnies at the rim. The shot quality was a LOT better than against Orlando in the 4th.

    Suns @ Magic Sunday game thread 1-28-2024

    Teams are using the old tricks they used on kobe back in the day. Let him shoot 1 on 1 for the first 3 quarters to tire him out and prevent anyone else from getting a rhythm, blitz/double in the 4th and force others who haven't shot much all game to make plays.

    Suns updates and discussion for the 2023-24 season

    Unironically, a healthy Bol would help this. The version we saw just before the injury was deterring shots with his length and not a complete liability on offense unlike some of the other defensive minded options on the bench

    Yeah, looked like he jammed it on a play in the 3rd quarter.

    114 -105 in 3 quarters is ridiculous.

    That's a nasty hit. Hope Beal is alright. (Not that Turner was malicious in any way, just a brutal shot to the face).

    Suns @ Pacers Friday game thread 1-26-2024

    Both teams want to just make this a track meet, but would be nice if Phoenix put together a 3-5 minute stretch of actual defense to stretch this lead out. Looks like Booker got away with one there.

    Dbook showing out, hope he doesn't chase the stats too much (on the anniversary of Kobe's passing).
