Suns @ Jazz Friday game thread, December 13th, 2024

I think players are required to make cameo appearances every so often.

Tonight, the role of Oso Ighodaro will be played by Jusif Nurkic.......

 

[Mainstreet]

Tip-off.

 

[Yuma]

Nurk first touch is a turn over.....

 

[Mainstreet]

Royce hits a three to open scoring.

 

[Yuma]

59 Arena record for Dbook. Grrr. should have been over 60....

 

[Yuma]

Two fouls and a turn over. Nurk filling the stat sheet.

Suns players really like that bench.

 

[Mainstreet]

Booker hoists up a prayer and it's answered.

Evidently not...

 

[Mainstreet]

Who wouldn't enjoy playing against a team that doesn't play defense like the Suns.

 

[BirdGangThing]

dunn is back

 

[Yuma]

Dunn and Oso bring the hustle on the defensive end. We have enough scorers on the offensive side. I want to see more of the rookies playing together with whatever three scorers are out there.

It seems like when Oso is out there our scoring goes up. Maybe it simplifies the offense taking Nurk out of the equation?

Bud looks like he really enjoys coaching the Suns. (sarcasm)

it's been this way for a minute - energy as a whole picks up with oso in over nurk - dunn is just his own vortex - crazy energy

 

[BirdGangThing]

lol dunn has no fear at all

 

[Mainstreet]

End of 1st quarter:

Jazz 39 - Suns 38

 

[Yuma]

Wait, is this the All Star game already?

Playing defense is hard work. Frank Vogel where are you?

 

[Yuma]

Playing defense is hard work. Mike Vogel where are you?

Paul Westhead, too!

 

[Mainstreet]

I think the Suns need some more time off.

 

[Hoop Head]

Kind of crazy thought but the Suns would likely be in a much better spot right now had they traded for Collins instead of KD 2 years back. A deal for Collins was reportedly in place as the backup plan. What that would have entailed is questionable but it wouldn't have cost 4 1's, 2 swaps, the Twins, and Crowder's expiring deal.

It obviously helped Dunn. He looks like a vet out there on offense. A three, dunk foul, and one legged step back basket. Dude is balling.

True. Collins wouldn't be able to take the pressure off Book being double teamed. We still would have had to search for another scorer, but we would have a PF.

[BirdGangThing]

we suck at challenges this year - perhaps more than i can ever remember - we burn them in non obvious bad calls - and at inopportune times instead of saving them
