Suns @ Mavericks Thursday game thread 2-22-2024: Post All-Star Break

[Cheesebeef]

Okogie being afraid to shoot the ball consistently mucks up the offense.

Think I’m done watching for tonight.

 

[BirdGangThing]

They double KD when book's on the bench and they double Book when KD is on the bench - if we go small we get out rebounded on both ends - if we go big the play fast

 

[Raindog]

Umm, Okogie.

 

[AzCardsfan76]

Okogie is killing us.

Usually I’m ok with the lack of offense but it’s been horrendous tonight. I’m done with him tonight. Clearly there are better options right now and Vogel isn’t seeing it.

 

[BirdGangThing]

If we don't get Luka out the game it's probably over

 

[clyde2tw]

No sets on offense, bad transition defense, bad indiv. defender in Allen and Little. 8-2 is the result to start the 4th

 

[Proximo]

We need beal, having just 1 of book or KD on the floor isn’t good enough with our bench.

 

[JosiahLee]

They double KD when book's on the bench and they double Book when KD is on the bench - if we go small we get out rebounded on both ends - if we go big the play fast

Jason Kidd is a great coach.

 

[Mainstreet]

Note to the Suns front office. Nurkic can't play against athletic teams.

 

[BirdGangThing]

Book and KD back on the court - gotta be for the duration

 

[BirdGangThing]

No Nurk= no size underneath

 

[Raindog]

They double KD when book's on the bench and they double Book when KD is on the bench - if we go small we get out rebounded on both ends - if we go big the play fast

I don't know who decided that this roster works - whether it's James Jones or Vogel or someone else or some combination of the foregoing. But they are idiots. No proficient ballhandlers / playmakers and no post presence is a recipe for failure.

 

[BirdGangThing]

Doubling Book while KD posts up in the corner

Book semi- penetrates and hot Gordon for the 3

 

[BirdGangThing]

Really? Their giant white guy is going to drain 3s?

 

[95pro]

Durant is super passive right now. No contest. Not locking in on rebounding

I’m hating his body language tonight. Reminiscent of Christmas Day.

 

[AzCardsfan76]

Game Over… Lack of adjustments by Vogel absolutely killed the Suns tonight. Pathetic….

 

[Cheesebeef]

They got 3 games in 4 days here… if they don’t make a run in the next couple minutes, wave the white flag and live to fight another day.

 

[BirdGangThing]

Luka just knocked KD hand away and then poked the ball

 

[Mainstreet]

Jason Kidd is a great coach.

I don't think so.

 

[BirdGangThing]

Keep. Going. At. Luka.

 

[Raindog]

I don't think so.

Well... compared to Vogel.

 

[BirdGangThing]

I'm guessing Vogel brings Nurk back in at the end - or at least tries to because we're just exchanging punches while the clock runs

 

[Mainstreet]

O'Neale was fouled.

 

[Hoop Head]

Jason Kidd is a great coach.

He's an average coach. He knows to let Luka do what he wants and he's taught him how to do that more effectively.

 

[BirdGangThing]

Dallas just benched Kyrie and went big again

PJ Washington looked a little dirty the way he "fell" on KD but idk
