Suns @ Kings Wednesday game thread, November 13th, 2024

We suck again!

To be fair they're the only 3 centers the Suns have.

The team desperately needs a C/PF or PF/C..

I have some hope that Okogie might have some trade value. He's making $8.25m this year, unguaranteed next season but can be picked up for $7.75m.

What's the saying, three strikes and you are out. I wasn't counting on Oso this season.

James Jones needs to fix the 4/5 position like he did the point guard position.

i don't know where this confidence from dunn is coming from but i think it's infectious with the other young players - because they are oozing it too

It's the pink backpack Beal gave him. No other possibility.

The Kings are the Suns' kryptonite...after injuries and a questionably designed team.

I am just going to say it was injuries..

Injuries didn't help. I don't think they made that much of a difference though. The Kings were without Monk and DeRozen only played the first half. Losing a player in game is typically harder to overcome since you can gameplan for someone not being available. Having to switch things up halfway through in a way that allows you to keep playing well is harder.

The main issue was the Suns defense that allowed fhe Kings to shoot 64% from the field and 54% from 3. The only reason the score wasn't incredibly lopsided is the Suns 19 offensive rebounds. That kept it within 30 points. The Suns still shot a paltry 37% overall and 30% from 3. They also shot 73% from the FT line. Those shooting splits will almost always lead to a loss.
