GameDay Thread: Suns @ Spurs 12/28/16

[Ronin]

Phoenix (9-22) heads to the Alamo City in the heels of a 131-115 loss at Houston on Monday. The Suns were led by Eric Bledsoe's 24 points while Brandon Knight added 21 off the bench. Phoenix, 26th in defensive rating entering Monday, allowed the Rockets to shoot 50 percent.

"It's tough when you're giving up everything -- threes, layups -- and it's really tough," Bledsoe said. "(Houston) had 20-something points in the first half on transition points, so I don't think we were really guarding anybody.

Let's go Suns!

Will PJ be guarding LMA most of the time? PJ vs. whoever has become one of my favorite things to watch about this team.

UPDATED INJURY REPORT - Kawhi Leonard (gastroenteritis) is out for tonight’s Spurs-Suns game.

for a second I read that as "Gingivitis" lol then a number of funny scenarios came to mind.

Kawhi Leonard being out would be huge for most opposing teams but unfortunately this is the Spurs.

Knight has been playing better of late. It's good no matter how one looks at it.

My wife just asked if the Spurs were good this year..I responded by saying that was like asking if the Patriots were good this year.

Manu Ginobili is age 39. I thought he would be close to being out of gas however he does not look like a player nearing retirement.

You really nailed this one. Absolutely true.

 

[Mainstreet]

For Dragon Bender fans, he is playing some good defense and scoring some points. It looks like there was a carryover from the Houston game.

How sweet would it be for both Chriss and Bender to be playing well.

Suns up by 6 points at halftime, 64-58, shooting 67.6%

David Lee still rockin the fauxhawk.

Suns down by 7 points at the end of the 3rd quarter, 89-82.

David Lee still rockin the fauxhawk.

Getting Lee and Gasol were a steal by the Spurs to replace Duncan.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Spurs are reportedly only paying Lee $1,551,659 this season.

Final: Spurs 119- Suns 98

At least the first half was entertaining. Also I enjoyed watching Chriss and Bender. TJ Warren had a good game.

Brooklyn choked late but the Pelicans won.
