Suns @ Clippers Thursday game thread, October 31st, 2024

[Mainstreet]

Suns find themselves down by 14. They did not come ready to play.

nurk shooting 9% from 3?

that can't be right

 

[Proximo]

What is going on. They look terrible. Shot selection is awful.

 

[Phrazbit]

Is this the Porter Jr who beat he hell out of his girlfriend last year?

There are somehow like 3 "porter Jr"s in the league right now.

No it’s right. He’s only made 1.

 

[BirdGangThing]

No it’s right. He’s only made 1.

the deep nurk experiment has officially failed

 

[Mainstreet]

It's a bit late to put Plumlee in the game now after the damage is done.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Clippers seem to be blocking everything. They have six.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns are the rested team and they appear to want to maintain it.

Bad 1st quarter. Oof

 

[Mainstreet]

End of 1st quarter:

Clippers 37 - Suns 20

 

[Mainstreet]

Bad 1st quarter. Oof

No defense whatsoever from Phoenix.

 

[Mainstreet]

I'm not sure why a rested team should come out flat. There is no excuse.

Yes. Kevin, who was in Houston when that happened. He was traded a few places but didn't play.

 

[Proximo]

This is just sad. The movement is weak, we are taking to many midrange shots.

They played a week ago and barely squeaked out a win. They should have known the Clippers were looking for payback and they'd be ready.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Clippers extend their defense, but the Suns do not have any cutters.

 

[Mainstreet]

I'm ready for Plumlee to start going forward.

 

[BirdGangThing]

suns within 9 now - no more nurk por favor

 

[Mainstreet]

Plumlee cleans up the miss. Suns trail 42-33.

 

[Hoop Head]

Royce O'Neale reminds me of a young Jared Dudley, his first stint here. He's one of those role players that is smart and always capable of being where he's needed to help the team. He's not going to over power anyone or beat people off the dribble. Really high BB IQ that knows his role and limitations.

KD was just as bad. Keep both out and stick with what's working.

 

[Phrazbit]

I'm ready for Plumlee to start going forward.

I've always thought Nurk was... kinda bad, but he has fallen off a cliff. Outside of the Mavs game he's been unplayable.

Opposing centers with size are shoving him around, smaller guys are blowing right by him.

 

[Hoop Head]

Ryan Dunn for 3!
