Suns @Nets Wednesday game thread 1-31-2024

[BirdGangThing]

Eubanks Diop and Okogie are the only bench players to make an appearance tonight and they're all 3 doing really well - Okogie leading all Suns with 5 rebounds

 

[Proximo]

That’s a terrible challenge.

 

[Sunburn]

Costly foul by Booker.

 

[BirdGangThing]

That was a placate challenge by Vogel - didn't want Book steaming

 

[BirdGangThing]

Beal extends a hand to Cam and Mikal wasn't having it lol

 

[Mainstreet]

Bradley Beal is only shooting 1-4. Suns will need him.

 

[BirdGangThing]

Big Nurk going off

 

[BirdGangThing]

Cam calming Mikal down after the fouling KD - then Mikal starts jawing at KD at the free throw line - when did Mikal Bridges get so serious

 

[Sunburn]

Book coming back in

 

[Mainstreet]

Halftime:

Suns 64 - Nets 61

 

[Mainstreet]

It was not a pretty half of basketball.

Not at all, but it was oddly entertaining!

It was not a pretty half of basketball.

Nurk shooting 70% is pretty isn’t it?

 

[BirdGangThing]

Okogie/Diop/Eubanks accounting for 12 rebounds and 13pts - no other bench players have seen the light of day with the trio soaking up 39 minutes!

 

[Mainstreet]

Nurk shooting 70% is pretty isn’t it?

You should have seen the first few minutes though.

 

[nashman]

Have a feeling Book is going to go off in the second half! He’s not even hit a midrange yet just the 3 threes… Beal will pick up the aggression as well I think.

 

[BirdGangThing]

Suns out rebounding Nets 25 - 13

 

[Mainstreet]

Royce O'Neale is not upping his trade value with 0 points and 0 rebounds in 6 minutes.

 

[nashman]

You should have seen the first few minutes though.

Oh I did, I don’t miss much Suns ever been looking forward to this game all day. Feel like everyone will settle in the second half a bit more expect more aggressive from Book and Beal. KD is just always calm don’t seem to get worked up much ever. Keep using Nurk unless he starts missing to much but they don’t seem to have any size to stop him!

 

[BirdGangThing]

I think this game is super important to Mikal and he let his team know going in - not a lot of smiling talking place

 

[Mainstreet]

The Heat beat the Kings tonight. That should help.

 

[Mainstreet]

Second chance points hurts.

 

[Mainstreet]

The twins are having an impact with 27 points.

 

[BirdGangThing]

Nurk!!!!
