Preseason: Suns @ Pistons Sunday game thread, 10-8-2023

lol, I am flipping back and forth with the football, but WOW, end of the bench preseason basketball is brutal.

 

[Mainstreet]

Bagley is lighting it up.

 

[Hoop Head]

Azibuke is one wide dude.

 

[Mainstreet]

Azubuike is fouled and is at the free throw line.

 

[Phrazbit]

I expect these guys have hardly played together, even in practice... and it shows. In transition none of them know who is supposed to guard who on defense.

 

[Yuma]

Azibuke is one wide dude.

Reminds me of Paris Johnson, speaking of Cards.

 

[Mainstreet]

Great effort by Saban.

 

[Yuma]

I'd like to see Goodwin and Saban Lee play together.

 

[Mainstreet]

Pistons tie the game at 122.

 

[Chaplin]

That’s hilarious.

 

[Yuma]

OK Suns. Time for the win. We just need 1 point!

 

[Folster]

Please no OT.

 

[CardsSunsDbacks]

Please not 5 more minutes of this 4th quarter...

 

[Mainstreet]

I'd like to see Goodwin and Saban Lee play together.

They should be ferocious.

 

[Phrazbit]

The forward depth is still rather suspect.

Okogie and Yuta look like they're going to get a ton of playing time if today's game was any indication. Diop and Little both struggled, Diop a lot more than I expected, he looked uncomfortable out there.

Bol Bol was comically bad. Everything he does looks so awkward and he tries to do way too much. He is going to need to play better to make the roster.

 

[Yuma]

NO OT!

 

[Chaplin]

Put Grayson in! Lol

 

[Mainstreet]

Overtime.

Game tied at 122.

 

[Hoop Head]

Regardless of how this turns out, Bagley finally looks like a legit NBA player.

 

[Yuma]

Lee needed to go into Bagley's body hard on that lay up.

 

[Chaplin]

Nice to see last year’s perimeter defense make an appearance.

 

[Yuma]

Regardless of how this turns out, Bagley finally looks like a legit NBA player.

As long as he stays healthy.

Monte playing for the win lol playing guys lots of minutes against our bench

Our forward depth isn't great. Our guard depth is fine. This 3rd string of guards looks pretty bad. Meanwhile the bigs out there now, Metu and Azibuke look better than the 2nd string did.

Needed that basket by Keion Johnson.
