Suns @ Clippers Wednesday game thread, October 23rd, 2024: Season Opener

[95pro]

First play, ball moves around, gets to KD and he immediately goes into his ISO dribbling routine... siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh.

He resorted back to this to end the 2nd as well.

 

[Mainstreet]

Tyus with the nice baseline drive for two.

 

[Chaplin]

Too many turnovers, not enough rebounds.

 

[Mainstreet]

How is that a foul on Nurkic? He was standing still, sitting a screen.

 

[BirdGangThing]

beal really wants to score

 

[BirdGangThing]

see ya mann

 

[GatorAZ]

Nurkic is still just a huge buzzkill man.

 

[Mainstreet]

Fourth foul on Mann.

 

[Mainstreet]

Nurkic might give the three a break. He is 1-4.

 

[Mainstreet]

Timeout with the score tied at 51.

 

[BirdGangThing]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[HammerCards]

Turnovers still an issue it appears.

 

[ajcardfan]

Two trips in a row, Booker and Durant kicking it to Nurkic for attempted threes. Might as well just do what the Clippers want them to do.

Screw that. Scorers need to score, Nurkic should get his ass under the basket.

 

[BirdGangThing]

Nurkic might give the three a break. He is 1-4.

seems like he's missed more than 4

 

[Proximo]

This really shouldn’t be this hard.

 

[HammerCards]

Is Nurk our center heading into playoffs? I think there is a good chance the answer to that is no. Just doesn’t seem like the right fit on this team.

 

[Proximo]

Two trips in a row, Booker and Durant kicking it to Nurkic for attempted threes.

Screw that. Scorers need to score, Nurkic should get his ass under the basket

Better get used to it. This is buds offense.

Also I don’t think you remember how bad nurk is under the basket, he might very well be more efficient shooting 3’s.

 

[BirdGangThing]

clippers more than happy watching nurk chuck those up

 

[95pro]

Nurkic is still just a huge buzzkill man.

Yeah I tired of him last season. I’m trying not to get worked up about him this one game.

 

[Mainstreet]

seems like he's missed more than 4

The corner three attempts by Nurkic bother me the most.

 

[CardsSunsDbacks]

Nurkic might give the three a break. He is 1-4.

Well if he makes the next one he is at 40%

 

[Mainstreet]

Oso for two!

 

[BirdGangThing]

oso offensive rebound and his first bucket

 

[Mainstreet]

Well if he makes the next one he is at 40%

And if he misses?

 

[Mainstreet]

Royce cleans up a Booker missed layup attempt.
