Spurs @ Suns Thursday game thread, 11-2-2023

[Mainstreet]

The Suns need another big man that can play. Phoenix plays at the 76ers on Saturday.

 

[Raindog]

I think Metu doesn't play team ball as well. He likes to shoot too much.

Still, there have to be situations where they can use him, instead of him being glued to the bench every game.

 

[BirdGangThing]

KD Book Diop Eubanks and Allen to close out the game

 

[Folster]

Game over

 

[95pro]

Wemby dagger

 

[AzCardsfan76]

Dagger…. W is for real.

 

[elindholm]

Well maybe they learned something from this game.

 

[BirdGangThing]

Wemby is unreal

 

[Hoop Head]

Wemby is just unguardable.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Lol… and the Spurs show the poise after blowing a big lead the Suns can only dream of so far this season.

 

[Proximo]

Wow. Wemby could be an all star this year.

 

[Mainstreet]

Wemby is just unguardable.

The Suns have no answer for him.

 

[95pro]

Did booker play the entire 4th?

 

[Hoop Head]

The Suns have no answer for him.

He's 7'4" no one has an answer for him.

 

[95pro]

Yuta was a negative this game.

Gordon just didn’t have any pep.

JO was invisible. Goodwin invisible. Spurs don’t rely on guards for their offense which is maybe why these two were ineffective.

Pop is THE system. Wemby couldn’t have landed with a better coach.

 

[Mainstreet]

This game is over.

 

[BirdGangThing]

Made our little run but too little too late

Vogel had some fun with the line up - Diop instead of Okogie and Eubanks instead of Nurk

Big reality check for the Suns tho - both losses - we aren't guaranteed anything - there aint no coasting to the playoffs in this League - I don't care who you are and neither does Wemby

 

[gimpy]

Sun's appear to close out the game like they started it- no defense.

 

[Proximo]

Yuta was a negative this game.

Gordon just didn’t have any pep.

Yuta has really been a negative in every game.

at least kbd played well I guess.

 

[mjb21aztd]

Honestly, starting to wonder if Vogel knows what he's doing. Waiting late into the fifth game of the season before giving KBD some run... and still no sign of Metu. And the team mostly running around like headless chickens on both offense and defense through multiple games now.

He did say that he expected to experiment quite a bit for the first month or so. After that he will have a good idea of what lineups to settle into.

Definitely some questionable decisions so far.
