    2023-24 Around the NBA Thread

    Mikal is not a franchise player. I used to compare him to Pippen as one of the best complementary players. That Nets team needs a true star like KD, Harden, Irvine to build around, and Mikal'd be a great 2nd piece.

    Metu's problem is he often not aware of defensive situation and positioning himself in noman's area, like in the last 3pt to end the 3rd qrt. He was the culprit for 2x previous scores by the Mavs also.

    What luck or 3pt touch the Mavs had early in game, they give it back in the 2nd half. LOL

    Suns @ Mavericks Wednesday game thread 1-24-2024

    Okogie can frustrate any top perimeter player from Doncic, Fox to Haliburton. It's just the game plan around switching that may make it less effective. With KD at C, we can rotate and switch and recover fast, that makes it less likely for Mavs to use screens for Doncic. Also, he came into the...

    But the refs are really trying to give it to the Mavs. Nonsense off. calls on Beal and Eubanks and on the other side, not even calling the kicking ball by Lively.

    Anyone still say JO is unplayable! His defense on Doncic is the reason for the turnaround so far. Trust the coaches they know what they do. :) And his hustle in the paint on offense.

    Suns change KD on Lively to stop Doncic-Lively PnR, with success. Allen defends Doncic quite effectively also. Great adjustment.

    Suns updates and discussion for the 2023-24 season

    Little is raw. Similar to Eubanks, he needs to learn the finess of the game more to be a contributor from bench. He's the rare young strong athletic type the Suns lacks. When Eubanks and Bol can improve so quickly and so much, there is hope Little also can.

    Suns updates and discussion for the 2023-24 season

    Why should Nets want Little's long contract if he were so inferior to ONeill, I thought Nets needed cap room for next few years. Both are about the same size with Little more athletic and much younger. The situation Nets are in, we might even get Oneill on the buyout market.

    Suns updates and discussion for the 2023-24 season

    Miles B. has the veto right to his trade, so it's about what he considers his best option. Any team needs to have cap room to sign him above th MLE as I believe there is no Bird right whatsoever in his case. And those basicly lottery teams can sign him in offseason straightup, thus no need to...

    Bulls @ Suns Monday game thread 1-22-2024

    Every our bench player has some deficiency that made them unplayable to some extent. Even Gordon is temporarily off with his 3pt shots. Many of those issues can be dealt with in practises, so that we saw Bol and Eubanks back into rotation with much better performances. Yuta's D and Goodwin's O...

    Bulls @ Suns Monday game thread 1-22-2024

    So glad that Eubanks seems back into rotation with all the glaring problems corrected that made him less playable. On O, his handout passes on the perimeter are very timely without his bad habit of hesitation which disrupts our off. sets, and his pick settings are clean and firm without previous...

    Bulls @ Suns Monday game thread 1-22-2024

    KD is obviously tired, his 3pt shots were short and even one FT. The team in this back-2-back games with our stars so exhausted needs focus more on D by using bench, hoping to keep scores close enough for 4th qrt chance.

    For some reason Caruso alwasy shot the 3 perfectly vs Suns, I guess he was mad we never respected his shots. So, is White.

    Bulls @ Suns Monday game thread 1-22-2024

    We came out with lackluster defense, giving up open 3pt shots without offensive pressure. Now this gave the Bulls players confidence and we are in deep hole.

    Suns updates and discussion for the 2023-24 season

    We want to win a title this year, there is no point to trade Allen for less effective players, just in fear he might become too expensive for us. That said, I guess Allen'd go for 12m MLE level of contracts. As for other trades, I wonder whether sixers'd do a EG for Oubre swap, due to needs for...

    Pacers @ Suns Sunday game thread 1-21-2024

    Officiating was so bad that I now believe there might be game fixing bets in the background. When Beal was slapped on the arm by Hield with no call, they gave Siakam that phantom call that was rescinded after our challenge, both in the final 2 min. Our smallball lineup has great D, with everyone...

    One def. late reaction gave Hield an open 3 pt. And passing to KD needs also some variations, good team won't commit the same mistakes too often.

    KD time now! We were resorting to it way too early in previous games as we didn't have options. Now with Beal back and Book back to SG role, we can save KD energy for 4th, just like in the Kings game.

    That moving pick call on Eubanks was BS too.

    Nurk was out of his mind to be called 3 off. fouls and get pickpocketed 3 times for 6 TOs in 18min.

    Pacers @ Suns Sunday game thread 1-21-2024

    Nurk keep the ball too low, easy prey for small guys to steal it on his drives. Foul calls on KD and Book were so bad, we had to waste one challenge to get the one off Book. Our D was chaotic when bench was in, against their better bench, particularly the former Suns lottery pick given away for...

    I don't see much upside from Goodwin and actually would place Saben Lee ahead of him in rotation. Just my opionion.

    Suns hire Frank Vogel as next head coach

    Our losses piled up mainly due to collective lack of defensive attention and awareness. We are now much better at D, I guess due to coach's emphasis.

    Agree, if we can sign Biyombo again, then no loss to let Eubanks go.
