Suns @ Kings Friday game thread 12-22-2023

[Yuma]

Azubuike hurt Sabonis!

 

[Mainstreet]

I like the effort by Azubuike.

 

[BirdGangThing]

Udoka is our Center #3 but he's started off aggressively

 

[BirdGangThing]

Freakin Fox man

Freakin Fox man

Fox or Haliburton should have been in a Suns uniform.

 

[AzCardsfan76]

Suns have given up 20 so far half way through the first. Suns are missing Nurk in the middle.

 

[Yuma]

The quote they just did with Okogie saying he has to be ready to jump, etc. I know I never played at his level, but I got hurt. That's part of sports, you have to play differently when you can't play your normal game. I feel like older NBA guys would do that more. That's part of the challenge of sports. Maybe you can't jump up for a rebound, so you block a guy out further from the basket. You have to figure it out.

 

[Mainstreet]

Do the Suns not guard the Kings on the perimeter?

 

[Yuma]

We are starting to pick up our aggressiveness. We have to finish this way through the end of the quarter.

 

[Mainstreet]

Azubuike shouldn't be jumping on the fake.

 

[Yuma]

I like Udoka fouls hard!

 

[BirdGangThing]

Udoka is huge

 

[BirdGangThing]

And Vogel calls the traditional about to be down by 10 timeout

 

[Mainstreet]

Barnes with the open corner three. The Suns can't guard the perimeter. The Kings move the ball too quickly.

 

[GatorAZ]

The ball movement between these two teams is night and day. Must be nice to have every player touch the ball on a possession.

Yeah it’s exactly what we need more of move the damn ball and force others to try and defend space! And we need to rebound and stop giving teams multiple second chance points!

 

[BirdGangThing]

Book look hyper focused

 

[Mainstreet]

If the Suns aren't going to win tonight, I want to see all their two-way players. I'm tired of the same old stuff.

 

[nashman]

Book look hyper focused

Right as he blows a layup…

 

[BirdGangThing]

Udoka to the hole

Did you just see KD's reaction when his pass to book got deflected and nearly stolen? He didn't look pleased

 

[Yuma]

WTF WAS THAT D BOOK!

 

[BirdGangThing]

Vogel stayed with Udoka for awhile > Eubanks and > and Metu > and Diop

I think Vogel is sending a message to his bigs

 

[Yuma]

Udoka is raw, but man when he gets a clear path to dunk...

 

[Mainstreet]

The Kings can guard outside and double inside. Why can't the Suns?

Ask Frank Vogel.
