Suns @ Jazz Friday game thread, 11-17-2023 - In-Season Tournament Game #2

[Proximo]

We are actually playing pretty well, but so are the jazz.

 

[Hoop Head]

5 free throws for Nurk already - in the first half

It's taken Ayton 11 games and 347 minutes to get that many.

 

[Proximo]

Don’t know if it’s true, but nice to hear we are working on finishing with Nurk.

I guess, but is pretty pathetic it’s needed for a 7footer in his 9th season.

 

[Mainstreet]

Neither team is playing any defense. Both teams are shooting over 50% from the field and from 3-point range.

 

[Chaplin]

I guess, but is pretty pathetic it’s needed for a 7footer in his 9th season.

So what? Any development is good development. Better than doing nothing.

 

[Dback Jon]

Weak call on Book

 

[Dback Jon]

Suns still not getting calls

 

[Dback Jon]

Frustrating sequences

 

[Mainstreet]

It's sad if this is the way the Suns are going to play defense this season. I was hoping they were only going through a learning phase.

 

[Chaplin]

Book’s defense has been 2017-esque.

Giving up 75 points at half. What a joke.

 

[Dback Jon]

That’s as much contact as they called the foul on Booker

 

[GatorAZ]

Peak KD tonight.

 

[Phrazbit]

DE-FENSE!

Defense...

defense...?

 

[Chaplin]

DE-FENSE!

Defense...

defense...?

Frustrating that our only issue tonight is defense. We’ve got the offense purring.

 

[AsUpRoDiGy]

The Suns defense is like watching PP21 trying to tackle

 

[Mainstreet]

Halftime:

Suns 75 - Jazz 75

 

[AzCardsfan76]

Great Defense…… Insert fart noise here….

 

[BirdGangThing]

Durant with 24 pts in the 1st half
Nurk and Book with 11pts

 

[AsUpRoDiGy]

Book with 9 ast and only 1 to.

 

[GatorAZ]

Suns still not getting calls

Suns are on pace to shoot 36 FT’s lol

 

[Chaplin]

We play just a little better defense and we win this going away. What is Vogel doing? Where this vaunted defense everyone talks about?

 

[mjb21aztd]

Halftime:

Suns 75 - Jazz 75

Lol like a spacejam toonsquad score

Bif of def be nice sigh.... lol

 

[BirdGangThing]

Not sure if it's intentional or not - or if it's due to performance - but Nurk and Eubanks have basically been splitting minutes lately - particularly in the first halves

You must be registered for see images attach

 

[BirdGangThing]

Durant is 10 for 11?? 4 for 5 from 3? Damn

 

[Mainstreet]

It's easy to see why the Suns are 5-6 with their offense scorching hot but their defense giving up 75 points in a half.

If the Suns were missing shots what happens?
