    Nets @ Suns Wednesday game thread, November 27th, 2024

    This will probably be a tougher game than most realize. Brooklyn has played really well and beaten some good teams.

    Lakers @ Suns Tuesday game thread, November 26th, 2024

    This is all we need from Nurk, punish when teams try and switch, otherwise play solid defense and rebound the ball. Hitting 3's is icing on the cake but not something to really be counted on.

    Suns look a lot better when Beal and Durant are taking shots instead of Okogie and Dunn

    Elfrid Payton is back, and just posted 21(!) assists in his last game with the Pels.

    Suns 2024-2025 Season Discussions

    Allen's played 12 of 16 games this year, 2 games for his first child birth, 2 games for right hamstring soreness. Last 4 seasons he's played 75, 72, 66, 50 games, so he's had some injury issues earlier but last few seasons generally been pretty good. Williams is... less good. Last 4 seasons...

    Suns 2024-2025 Season Discussions

    Robert Williams III is reportedly available, and makes less than Allen. When he's healthy he's a legitimate difference maker on defense and rim runner on offense. But, he's rarely healthy.

    Durant to Suns

    I think our future is screwed either way, this more accurately destroys our present, with a slim chance that it saves our future if he doesn't get re-resigned.

    Magic @ Suns Monday game thread, November 18th, 2024

    The Suns are a top heavy team missing 2 of their 3 best players. Without KD/Beal, it's the equivalent of the Dragen Bender, Josh Jackson era Suns; everyone is asked to do more than they are reasonably capable of because we don't really have any other shot creators other than Book.

    Suns @ Timberwolves Sunday game thread, November 17th, 2024

    https://official.nba.com/l2m/L2MReport.html?gameId=0022400234 TL:DR - Correct No Call on the Randle forearm, but they missed that Randle traveled before releasing the shot.

    Suns @ Thunder Friday game thread, November 15th, 2024

    Hope the other guys (O'Neale, Okogie, Dunn, Tyus, Morris) can make their shots today, otherwise OKC will just trap Book as soon as he touches the ball in the same way Sac did. Will be a long night if so.

    Suns @ Kings Wednesday game thread, November 13th, 2024

    I'm not going to get too hung up on a game where TyTy Washington got legitimate rotation minutes because of injuries and second night of a back2back. And that's not to besmirch Washington, he did a much better job being the microwave off the bench guy than Damion Lee. I missed bits and pieces...

    Suns @ Kings Wednesday game thread, November 13th, 2024

    Somebody else suggested it, but i'd almost rather take this scheduled loss. Sit Beal, Nurk and Book, give them another couple days of rest and get back at it on Friday

    Oh, this is part of the in season tournament/emirates cup. I am already dreading to the hideous courts that will obliterate my eyeballs.

    Suns @ Jazz Tuesday game thread, November 12th, 2024

    Took me a minute to realize you were talking about Markkannen. He's a tough cover, with his combination of height and shooting ability, but Ryan's physicality could bother Lauri.

    Suns @ Mavericks Friday game thread, November 8th 2024

    At minimum the call should have been reversed (or no-call) + technical foul for flopping. The fact that they reviewed it and upheld the call was ridiculous.

    Ryan Dunn - the Real Deal or Beginner's Luck?

    Guess my memory is bad, he came out early in the 4th with a sprained ankle: https://arizonasports.com/story/3563836/suns-ryan-dunn-sprain-ankle/

    Suns 2024-2025 Season Discussions

    I don't disagree that the lineups are on the small side, but I'd still rather have Morris bringing the ball up the court and initiating over Book or Beal. Ideally Book and KD both get down to 32-35 mins, which would free up close to 10 mins to distribute to the group (Morris, Dunn, O'neale, Allen)

    Heat @ Suns Wednesday game thread, November 6th, 2024

    Lost in all this talk about KD's otherworldly offense in the clutch is his defense, which has been pretty amazing as well. Here's a quick look at some of the sequences from the Heat game. It also transitions to his offensive clutch possessions as well.

    Suns 2024-2025 Season Discussions

    Monte's minutes have pretty much dried up. Maybe he only got minutes with Beal out, but IMO we should be running full time with one of the PGs out there at all times.

    Suns 2024-2025 Season Discussions

    Agreed. Phoenix has had a home-heavy start so far, as well, and still having issues with careless turnovers. I'm particularly concerned about the heavy minutes KD and Book (to a lesser extent) are playing. Would love to give more run to guys like Morris, Dunn and even Okogie to balance the...

    Ryan Dunn - the Real Deal or Beginner's Luck?

    Looked like he was limping a bit after some contact in the first half, didn't play in the 2nd. Any update?

    Heat @ Suns Wednesday game thread, November 6th, 2024

    For all the talk about the vaunted Heat defence, they were picked apart at the end by a pretty simple action because they refused to adjust. Phoenix would just have Beal bring Herro over to force a switch with Rozier on Tyus, then have Tyus run a pick and roll to get Herro on Durant. Easy for KD...

    Heat @ Suns Wednesday game thread, November 6th, 2024

    A win is a win i guess, but Phoenix still struggling to find consistency. It'd be nice to get a wire-to-wire W one of these games to ease the load off Book and KD.

    Big blow for Denver. He's arguably the 2nd most important player on the team.
