Preseason: Kings @ Suns Wednesday game thread, 10-12-2022

[Mainstreet]

TLC is another player that brings the effort.

 

[Chaplin]

These guys don’t look… awful.

Color me surprised against a team that should probably be blowing them out.

 

[Mainstreet]

Okogie for the SLAM.

 

[Proximo]

Torrey looks pretty awful

 

[Yuma]

Ish hasn't been shooting in preseason like he did to end the season.

 

[Mainstreet]

End of 1st quarter:

Suns 32 - Kings 24

 

[Yuma]

Landale is our top scorer.

 

[Mainstreet]

Biz gets the soft hook to go down.

 

[Proximo]

Washington is a good passer

 

[Mainstreet]

Washington Jr. is surprisingly quick and he has 8 points, 4 assists and 2 steals.

 

[Mainstreet]

Landale and Washington are a couple of my early favorite players.

 

[Mainstreet]

Washington with the slam off break.

 

[Mainstreet]

How did Washington Jr. not get drafted?

 

[Proximo]

Landale is really playing fantastic on the defensive end

 

[Chaplin]

I’m speechless right now at how good our 3rd stringers look. Or are the Kings 1st stringers that bad?

 

[Mainstreet]

Landale is really playing fantastic on the defensive end

He is awesome. Jock is one heck of an energy player.

 

[Mainstreet]

Halftime:

Suns 57 - Kings 54

 

[95pro]

Here is the Suns injury report.

Josh Okogie is listed as PROBABLE. Five players are OUT or not with the team.

Landry Shamet talks about left hip strain.

It seems our training staff isn’t up to par these recent years. I realize cp3 is old but the young guys are getting muscle strains as well.

I think the Suns training staff is being cautious but yes, the Suns do have a lot of injuries. Maybe they realize it's a marathon.

Also a trade is still a possibility.

 

[Yuma]

They have Landale with ONLY 4 Rebs. That is HIGHLY suspect!

 

[Mainstreet]

They have Landale with ONLY 4 Rebs. That is HIGHLY suspect!

I would think he would have more as well. He has 4 blocks and pestered Sabonis on defense.

 

[Yuma]

I would think he would have more as well. He has 4 blocks and pestered Sabonis on defense.

3 steals, too. I swear he had about a dozen Rebs. Every time he turned around he was rebounding on BOTH ends. They have him with ZERO offensive Rebs.

 

[Big Al]

Landale is a worker. How the Suns got him for cash, I don't know.

Jock Landale & Washington are playing like they belong & want minutes. Need a larger sample but they are doing some nice things on the court. Simply coming to play!! Great to see this & hope it becomes contagious on the rest.

And James Jones got both for cash.
