Suns @ Cavaliers Monday game thread 1-20-2025

[Hoop Head]

Due to a previous appointment, I'm probably going to miss all or part of the game.

Go Suns!

Hope to see you around after the game. These early games throw me off so I'll probably only catch half live as well.

Nick Richards will start at center.

damn right he will lol we playing the cavs

 

[Mainstreet]

Tip-off.

 

[GatorAZ]

Cavs missing 3 rotation players including Mobley. Was hoping for more of a test.

Amazing how Jerome is allowed to be physical

Seriously? We needs some wins before worrying about a test.

 

[BirdGangThing]

it's watchable basketball so far

 

[Yuma]

This game is borderline almost getting out of hand. Their perimeter defense is way better than ours.

 

[Yuma]

The Cavs are better fitness than us. They are running to the hoop even in the half court offense. Our guys are standing around on the weak side.

 

[Proximo]

it’s so easy to see why cavs have the record they do. They are not careless with the ball and their offense is consistently getting good shots without any iso ball.

Suns could learn a lot from them.

 

[BirdGangThing]

kinda watchable? watchable-er?

 

[95pro]

Other team empower role players. Suns not so much

 

[nashman]

Can’t buy a foul and they get ticky tack ones sounds about right…typical bs refs…

 

[Hoop Head]

This is rough. Upside is Ishbia won't be happy with a bad loss. Downside is he may trade our 2031 pick in hopes of improving this squad. There's no way he can be pleased with this team.

 

[NashDishesDimes]

I dont know why i continue to watch these games, im unhappy every time i do. This team is just so lifeless

 

[Proximo]

Does anyone who is watching truly believe we will be able to compete with teams like this, just by getting butler for Beal?

We are nowhere close.

 

[95pro]

We just need to sit Jones if we aren’t going to use him. Idk if we can’t trade him for a pick.

The ball is always in Books or KDs hands no matter what. Might as well live and die by them. Most likely die.

Compete for a playoff spot instead of play-in opportunity. That's their ceiling, 6th seed and 1st round loss.

Exactly so why the hell would you want to sign a 150 million dollar contract with a 35 year old for that?

typical nashman post...

 

[95pro]

This lineup without Jones is what we need to see if we aren’t all in on the trio. Just let them play and let the chips fall. Then we can start seeing some changes.

I would be more hopeful in trading Beal to Milwaukee for whatever, so we can add more than one player.

Wouldn’t matter because KD won’t pass it to them. If he does then it’s a turnover.

 

[Yuma]

Just think about Ty Jerome. He gets jettisoned off the Suns, and ends up on one of the best teams in the NBA. Not bad.
