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

[ProdigalSun]

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?

Yeah and its not like Beal is going to help improve our defense any either…

Nurk didn't get bullied by the PG defending the paint - Nurk treated him like a little kid lol

 

[BirdGangThing]

Book says he'll play some defense

 

[AzCardsfan76]

Suns are a complete mess on the defensive end. A total lack of fundamentals, just amateur hour out there right now.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns looking like the team that lost to the Spurs twice at home.

 

[BirdGangThing]

I have bongs older than that Jazz coach

 

[BirdGangThing]

Oh boy

 

[AzCardsfan76]

Train wreck….

Man these alternate courts are freaking wretched. The NBA was like "so a tournament before December is really dumb. Why not in February or March when people actually care?"

And also if it is all on this awful pastel that would be excellent

 

[Chaplin]

I’ve about had it with Vogel. If he can’t bring a defensive acumen then what’s he here for?

 

[nashman]

Some BS with these refs right now geesh help them a little more why don’t ya….

Way to early come on be serious all new team give it a little time geesh…

 

[Mainstreet]

I'm left wondering if the Suns are this bad or is it the coaching.

These players aren’t bad individual defenders. There should be some competence on that side of the ball regardless of the number of games. We’re seeing the same issues we saw with Monty.

This is an utter embarrassment.

Too look perpetually sweaty?

 

[BirdGangThing]

Just weathering a storm on the road - seen this before KD trying to do it all - I imagine Vogel is saving Book for the end and that's when we'll win the game

 

[BirdGangThing]

I think Eubanks plays dirtier than Allen - not that I mind

 

[Chris_Sanders]

I cant watch a game on this court.

 

[Raindog]

I'm left wondering if the Suns as a team are this bad or is it the coaching.

Thus far this season, I certainly haven't seen any evidence that would lead me to conclude Vogel is a very competent coach. Him being fired one year after winning a title is beginning to look a little less puzzling.

 

[BirdGangThing]

KD stays on the bench after the time out - now it's Book and the bench mob

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns desperately need someone like Little to step up.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Eubanks for 3 is so random.

 

[BirdGangThing]

Bench doing well with Book - Sun retake the lead immediately

 

[Chaplin]

Giving Vogel some credit here for putting Nas in. Hope he doesn’t keep him in too long.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

That was palming. No idea who it was but holy palming
