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

[Chaplin]

There it is.

 

[Mainstreet]

Now, Booker shoots a three for his first points.

Suns lead 40-27.

The ESPN scoreboard has lagged behind all game.

 

[BirdGangThing]

9-19 now from deep

 

[TJ]

Only reasonable conclusion from the first quarter + is that we're winning the championship this season

 

[BirdGangThing]

book - kd and beal haven't had to do much tonight

 

[CardsSunsDbacks]

9-19 now from deep

With 5 minutes left in the 2nd. Might attempt well over 40 tonight.

 

[BirdGangThing]

these rookies playing defense off the bench this year might be real nice

 

[BirdGangThing]

lol travel

 

[BirdGangThing]

now that was beautiful

book³

 

[Mainstreet]

Booker with another three thanks to unselfish passing.

 

[Chaplin]

So much for the refs season directive to let them play.

 

[FB94]

It’s game one and I’m already sick of seeing Durant dribble the ball off his feet

 

[Mainstreet]

I have appreciated Oso's play more than Dunn thus far.

 

[BirdGangThing]

defense yes - defensive rebounds not so much

if we're going with rim protectors everyone needs to box out

 

[Mainstreet]

Halftime:

Suns 47 - Clippers 39

 

[TJ]

Seems like we've scored more than 47 tonight

 

[nashman]

Maybe they can knock some rust off KD and Book just chillin not having to do too much…

 

[HammerCards]

Really liked the Oso minutes so far.

Dunn defense obviously translating, but needs to be better with ball in his hands on offensive side.

 

[Proximo]

That was an ugly half.

The clippers really suck. They will be a bottom 5 team for sure.

I don’t think I am ok with book taking 3 shots in a half.

 

[Mainstreet]

Oso may be more ready to play based on the first half, but it's way too early to reach this conclusion.

 

[Proximo]

Seems like we've scored more than 47 tonight

Not to me. Offense is stuck in the mud.

 

[Proximo]

Oso may be more ready to play based on the first half, but it's way too early to reach this conclusion.

Weird, I can’t understand why he is even getting playing time.

I would far rather Bol get his minutes.

 

[Mainstreet]

I would far rather Bol get his minutes.

Oso was very active, played good interior defense and had 5 rebounds plus a block.

 

[Proximo]

Oso was very active, played good interior defense and had 5 rebounds plus a block.

Eh, defense so so at best, and he was useless on offense.

I just don’t get the hype.

 

[Phrazbit]

When Tyus isn't in the game we look a lot like last year's Suns. Super sloppy still.

But, it is game 1.
