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

[RON_IN_OC]

18 turnovers...Good Lord. Get these boys some Stick'um.

 

[Chaplin]

Wow that's a long overdue timeout.

 

[BirdGangThing]

no bueno says jay leno

 

[Proximo]

Ok, what optimism I had for the season is just about gone.

 

[FB94]

This team just looks awful. Everything is a fight to score and zero second half defense with a crap ton of turnovers. Durant looks cooked.

Just about?

Does that mean you won't come back for the other 81 game threads before the playoffs?

 

[Mainstreet]

Clippers are leading the Suns by 9 looking to make it more. Timeout.

 

[Proximo]

Just about?

You can never judge a team off of 1 game.

 

[Proximo]

Does that mean you won't come back for the other 81 game threads before the playoffs?

No. I am far too loyal of a fan for that.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns interior defense, lack of size and mobility is getting exposed.

 

[Chaplin]

No. I am far too loyal of a fan for that.

Also a glutton for punishment apparently. You a Cardinal fan too?

 

[Mainstreet]

The scouting report is to play Phoenix physical.

 

[Phrazbit]

"Skinny" Nurk is still glued to the floor.

KD is aging like milk.

Booker doesn't seem to know how to assert himself in this system.

Rough start here.

 

[BirdGangThing]

need to make some stops down the stretch

 

[BirdGangThing]

book³

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns can't rebound and give second attempts to the Clippers.

 

[GatorAZ]

Any team we face in the playoffs with more length/athleticism is cooking us in a series. Gotta get rid of Nurk somehow.

 

[Mainstreet]

It wasn't hard to predict the Suns needed more size and mobility upfront.

 

[Proximo]

Also a glutton for punishment apparently. You a Cardinal fan too?

Yeah. They hav been pretty disappointing as well.

 

[Chaplin]

It wasn't hard to predict the Suns needed more size and mobility upfront.

Good thing you've told us 15,000 times.

Or add more size and athleticism to the team.

 

[Mainstreet]

Good thing you've told us 15,000 times.

It's hard not to see what sticks out like a sore thumb.

 

[BirdGangThing]

we can totally win this game

 

[Hoop Head]

"Skinny" Nurk is still glued to the floor.

KD is aging like milk.

Booker doesn't seem to know how to assert himself in this system.

Rough start here.

This is a big issue. I believe Bud can coach him up but I think he'll need a voice on the team doing that also. Maybe Beal can push him. I don't see KD being that person.
