I feel we were lucky to get to twenty. Only because Bol Bol was on a mini heater at the end of the quarter. 6 points in 3:26 minutes.

kd + book + beal = 20 point first quarter

kd + book + beal = 20 point first quarter

Bol Bol was our top scorer in that quarter.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns are doing Suns type things. It's like they are going through the motion.

At some point, a team has to play defense to win.

 

[BirdGangThing]

suns doing there 5 minutes of basketball thing

 

[Mainstreet]

Beal looks like he want to play.

We go on a run. Our bench celebrates. The other team calls a TO. We are still down 5, some games 10 or 15. It looks good if you don't know the score.

still no ryan dunn

 

[BirdGangThing]

yeah there's no play-in in this team's destiny

 

[Mainstreet]

Beal's drives give the Suns an inside presence.

 

[Mainstreet]

Good to see Richards score the layup.

 

[Mainstreet]

And Richards again. About time for Plumlee to reenter the game.

 

[Mainstreet]

Timeout as Bulls lead 56-52.

 

[Hoop Head]

This is decent offense. They need to keep the ball moving and have guys move off ball. Wait for a good shot instead of forcing a mediocre look.

 

[Mainstreet]

Booker with a sweet shot along the baseline.

 

[Mainstreet]

Halftime:

Suns 60 - Bulls 58

 

[Yuma]

Here we go again. Down after 1. Leading barely at halftime. Is the horrible third quarter coming?

 

[hcsilla]

I follow the Suns quite closely since 2001. I swear that this is the most unwatchable Suns team that I ever saw.

 

[Mainstreet]

I don't understand Bud's coaching. Maybe the players don't either.

 

[Mainstreet]

Beal (16) clearly enjoys starting.

 

[BirdGangThing]

ball movement does wonders for offense

 

[Yuma]

OT - My ankle feels like I just twisted it or rolled it. I did not. Getting old sucks!

 

[Mainstreet]

Booker (18) has really picked up his game and is playing well.

The same with Richards. Please don't tell Bud.
