Suns @ Nuggets Friday game thread 3-7-2025

[Mainstreet]

Committing turnovers and not getting back on defense? This has to come from somewhere. It seems to be a team effort.

Durant and Booker commit a lot of the turnovers, yet the Suns have point guards.

100% it’s on the players. As much as people talk crap on Bud, of course he does deserve some of the blame, but come on…. These players have zero pride, it’s pathetic.

It's going to be hard for the Mavericks or any team to out lose the Suns. That's where they excel.

I find it hard to believe the Suns entire roster is made up of losers.

Of course not all of them, but when you have a “big 3”, **** trickles downhill.

 

[Proximo]

Richards has been very good in this game.

The Suns finished in 6th place in the West under Vogel.

 

[Mainstreet]

Those Nuggets fast breaks are a killer.

Shows you how easy it can be to score. Suns play stupid, eat the clock, keep the ball above the circle over 50percent of the time.

 

[Mainstreet]

End of 3rd quarter:

Nuggets 102 - Suns 91

Vogel was clearly a better coach, he at least got the team to play respectable defense.

If the Suns identity was defense, they'd be winning. Scoring would be a natural byproduct.

 

[BirdGangThing]

wow greyson ok then

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns are within 8 points, 107-99.

 

[BirdGangThing]

crowd got quiet as hell

 

[Yuma]

The team is making an effort to run with the ball on offense. But just these last couple of games. Where has this been all season?

Kellan Olsen said this team stopped listening to Coach Bud when they stopped trying to take 40 threes a game. That was one of Bud's keys to change the team, and they stopped doing it after a month or so into the season.

What we thought was a symptom of not having a PG was actually the mid 3 failing to operate within a structured offense. We also didn't improve any of our weaknesses, size or athleticism. That caused our defense and rebounding to regress.

How Minnesota owned the Suns in the playoffs provided everyone else with the blueprint to smack us around. Teams below us improved as well.

 

[Yuma]

I had thought about irratating you guys with a Booker countdown to 16,000 points. I see the Suns broadcasters are doing it for me! LOL!

I think it's both, but one series shouldn't define a team, though. The Wolves are a tough matchup for sure.

Where was the replacement for Nurkic?

It doesn’t help that seems someone in opposition always has a career night from 3 when playing us can’t think of how many times that’s happened this year but seems like a lot! Gordon just stupid from 3 tonight for his career high dude never shoots like that. Suns always let someone get hot then ignore them and let them continue to rain down threes it’s madness!

 

[Mainstreet]

If only the Suns could make stops.

 

[AzCardsfan76]

Imagine if the suns only had half of turnovers tonight, they’d have the lead.

 

[Mainstreet]

Booker with the three and is fouled.

Making FTs would help as well.

Yeah missed a lot already crazy
