Knicks @ Suns Friday game thread 12-15-2023

[Phrazbit]

And another turnover…..

These guys are supposed to be professionals. They look like rec league hacks.

These slow, lazy, long passes... in the middle of traffic, they're just so damn terrible.

Are they practicing like this?

 

[Mainstreet]

End of 1st quarter:

Knicks 31 - Suns 30

 

[BirdGangThing]

Big Nurk 7 rebounds 9 pts in the first freakin quarter

 

[AzCardsfan76]

What does that even mean?

I can speculate…. They have a big 3…. Yet they turn over the ball like a bunch of rec league hacks… They play little to no defense…. Vogel is a mess… So much talent not living up to the hype…. Injury prone, can’t forget that one.

 

[Vacard]

At least we have a Nurklear Weapon with the AirBnB being cancelled

 

[AzStevenCal]

This team is so hateable.

I find them disappointing, not so much hateable.

If that's enough to hate then, then there might be something else wrong that has nothing to do with basketball.

I lean towards boring and frustrating.

 

[DJ Tabooh]

Team looks lifeless. I know Beal going out sucks but we need to WAKE UP! C’mon Book be smart with the ball and stop settling for fadeaways. ATTACK!

Ughh this is gonna be a long night watching this team.

 

[JosiahLee]

What does that even mean?

Lazy defense.

Fragile.

Traded away the future.

I don’t think he truly means hate, disappointing and frustrating is probably what he means. But yes, they are 100% frustrating and disappointing thus far.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

So much stupid so early in yet another game.

 

[Chaplin]

I lean towards boring and frustrating.

When Book and KD are cooking they aren't boring, but man, "frustrating" is a good description.

 

[AzCardsfan76]

What a move by Book!

 

[JosiahLee]

Lazy defense.

Fragile.

Traded away the future.

Ever since we reached the finals expectations have risen, and this team has only been going the wrong direction since.

 

[Mainstreet]

Maybe it's time to add a point guard.

 

[Vacard]

Yet another turnover

 

[BirdGangThing]

So much negativity for an evenly matched 1st quarter - heaven forbid a good game - hateable??

 

[Chaplin]

Lazy defense.

Fragile.

Traded away the future.

If you think that then why do you watch? Based on this there is little reason for you to watch this team.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

I hate that we don’t get into our offense until 12 seconds left on the clock. We have more shot clock rushed shots than every one of our opponents.

And grab a damn defensive rebound!

 

[AzStevenCal]

No point guard, almost completely new roster and coaching staff, injury prone "big 3" with a lot of question mark rotation players. These were concerns coming into the season, and they still are. I don't see why the players are "hateable" but there's not much to like about this roster right now.

 

[Chaplin]

Eubanks finally doing something. He's been so bad recently.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Foul +1 with 4 seconds left on shot clock. Lol. Awful.

 

[AzCardsfan76]

So much negativity for an evenly matched 1st quarter - heaven forbid a good game - hateable??

We’ve seen this show multiple times this year, unable to get ahead and keep the lead due to moronic turnovers. Zero defense. Close until the 4th then choke at the end. Rinse wash repeat… Another injury for one of the “big 3”… People are understandably frustrated.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

And another turnover I to a layup
