Preseason: Suns @ Nuggets

[Mainstreet]

The Suns play at the Nuggets tonight with a 6 p.m. Arizona start time. I can't find any options to watch the game on TV but I will be looking for streaming options.

Suns at Nuggets

When: 6 p.m.

Where: Pepsi Arena, Denver

TV/radio: None, KMVP-FM (98.7).

Nuggets update: Denver is 3-1 in the preseason with 19-year-old point guard Emmanuel Mudiay, the No. 7 overall draft pick in June, averaging 13.3 points and 6.0 assists. He replaces Ty Lawson but the Nuggets' core still has Danilo Gallinari, Kenneth Faried and Wilson Chandler. Michael Malone, fired by Sacramento early last season, takes over as head coach. Denver also added Valley native and former Arizona star Nick Johnson in the Lawson trade with Houston.

The above information is taken from a Paul Coro article at azcentral dated 10-15-15.

Another lame thing going for the Suns. I know it's preseason but we can't even get a video feed on this game?

I'm getting a stream at the following:

[Mainstreet]

Chandler and Len are playing tonight.

It's not the best stream I have ever but I will take what I can get.

 

[Mainstreet]

Center Nikola Jokić is eating the Suns lunch.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns are giving up easy shots. Where is that defense the Suns talked about?

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns are down 37-20 in the 2nd quarter.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns are now down by 21 with 5:20 in the 2nd quarter. I'm worrying about the Suns defense long term. They are allowing Denver to do anything they want.

 

[Mainstreet]

Denver leads 63-36 at halftime. The Suns are not playing defense and look bad on offense as well.

 

[Mainstreet]

Tyson Chandler gets ejected after getting in the ear of referees too much. I think he wanted to be ejected. A miserable game so far for the Suns.

 

[Mainstreet]

Nuggets 70 Suns 43

Still 5:37 left in the third quarter.

 

[Mainstreet]

Alex Len has been the Suns go-to player in the 2nd half and he has responded thus far with 14 points and 8 rebounds in the game.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns have reduced the Nuggets lead to 9 with 8:18 in the 4th quarter.

I wonder if what he really wanted was to establish (during the pre-season when W-L records don't matter) is that 'this isn't your father's Suns team'. And that we want the calls that the strong teams get.

If so, more power to him. He did it with the Mavs and was the difference in their Championship. Unfortunately for him, the Knicks were a lost cause when he later joined them.

But now, he's with us. And we need that change of image. Good move, Tyson. Leadership doesn't occur just with the players. It takes place with the refs as well.

And, BTW, I don't see this incident being in the same class as the Morris twins not knowing how to play the refs.

The Suns played so poorly tonight I do not think Chandler was sending a message to anyone except he wanted out of the game by getting two technicals. Markieff received another.

The Suns are down 102-77 with 3:27 in the 4th quarter.

Final: Nuggets 106 Suns 81

This team is gonna be scary bad if Bledsoe misses many games during the season.

This team is gonna be scary bad if Bledsoe misses many games during the season.

Undoubtedly you are right about Bledsoe but right now I am concerned about the Suns lack of energy on defense. The Suns were terrible on defense tonight and were easily out hustled by the Nuggets. If the Suns can play defense, they are keeping it a secret. They do not appear to be organized on offense either. Only two more preseason games to get some chemistry.

 

[JCSunsfan]

It's going to be scary bad if Chandler cannot keep his head. And if they are bad he will not keep his head.

This is looking to be Sleepy Hollow bad.

 

[BC867]

And if it turns out to be a reaction to a General Manager and Head Coach who have tunnel vision and unskilled playmakers, who gut the roster and try again on a regular basis, perhaps they will get the message. If not, what will it matter?

I believe that continued fan apathy and how it affects the wallet of the Tucson banker will also be a factor. I just hope that when $arver bails, the next owner doesn't relocate the Suns.

I, for one, am a hometown fan and will not root long distance for the Seattle Suns if they are not part of the Valley of the Sun.

Makes you miss for Jerry Colangelo, doesn't it? Be careful what you wish for.

Makes you miss for Jerry Colangelo, doesn't it? Be careful what you wish for.

Jerry was a great owner, promoter and marketing man with influence in the Valley as a member of the Phoenix 40 back when they ran things.

He kept the Suns in the Valley and the D-backs in the National League and I will be forever grateful to him for that.

I just wasn't on the same page with Jerry as a General Manager or his two attempts naming himself as interim Head Coach. But I guess most of us have delusions of grandeur once or twice.
