Spurs @ Suns Tuesday game thread, 10-31-2023

[Mainstreet]

Nurkic and Eubanks are both scoreless thus far.

It was nice having Book on commentary briefly but Reggie Miller wastes time arguing over how to pronounce Halloween. Reggie is an idiot.

 

[Mainstreet]

Nurkic gives Victor a hard foul.

We finally agree on something!!

 

[Mainstreet]

Grayson Allen is fitting nicely with the Suns. He has 16 points.

 

[BirdGangThing]

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn Allen

 

[Hoop Head]

Allen is on fire.

 

[BirdGangThing]

Greyson shoots a 3 from east Mesa and drains it

 

[Hoop Head]

KD dunks on Wemby and Wemby dunks over Eubanks.

 

[Mainstreet]

Halftime:

Suns 63 - Spurs 45

 

[BirdGangThing]

Except Wemby didn't dunk it on KD - Reggie just rambles

 

[Hoop Head]

I think KD owes Eubanks an apology though for making Wemby angry.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Man… if this team ever gets healthy…

Gordon and Allen... these are starting caliber players - sure they'll have their off nights but when they're on they can do some serious damage

When the 3s are falling from our bench, nobody can stop us.

The only reason we lost against the lakers was because the 3s weren’t falling.

Wasn’t even that impressive had a wide open running start then just went more around Eubanks than thru him. Big deal dude is like 7 and a half feet tall not like he skied over someone lol, and how many points does the chosen one have? Mostly FTs doesn’t look impressive so far…

Allen is the real surprise, IMO. I watched Gordon for a long time, as I'm sure others have, and he was sort of insurance for Beal or Booker while being a deadly shooter off the bench. He's showed more ball handling skills than he has in years, probably since he was in New Orleans, and that's big. Allen though can do a bit of everything. I wish he passed a little better but hopefully he'll get better as the year goes on.

It wasn’t a dunk either. He’ll be good but right now he’s no phenom. He’s like Zion with the exact opposite body. But he has a lot of time to develop.

 

[BirdGangThing]

KD disrespected Wemby that entire first half - took his cookies and then rose up on him

 

[Chaplin]

Lol Shaq comparing Wemby to Lob Lob

 

[BirdGangThing]

Shaq has a length fetish too

 

[Proximo]

Lol Shaq comparing Wemby to Lob Lob

He loves him cause he played on the same team as his son.

Allen is often streaky, he needs his confidence up and in a comfort zone to play like in the last 2 games. We'll see more when the defense gets tight vs. good teams.

Okogie needs his mask back. Dude is always falling.
