Hahaha, so Suns….

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns needed to win the game in regulation, and they had a great chance.

That stolen rebound from Plumlee haunts me the most.

 

[Mainstreet]

I so miss the days of the Suns in four.

 

[Hoop Head]

Plumlee shouldn't be out there. It's 4 on 5 on offense. He's no threat at all.

 

[AzCardsfan76]

Plumlee shouldn't be out there. It's 4 on 5 on offense. He's no threat at all.

Who’s gonna attempt to play defense and attempt to rebound, key word attempt…..

That stolen rebound from Plumlee haunts me the most.

The two slow down possessions where we could have extended the lead, but let them set up their defense before the Plumlee strip were killing me.

Richards passes the eye test but the stats have consistently told a different story, we regularly get demolished while he is on the court.

Not Plumlee.

Going small would be better. Richards is worth a look. Bol² maybe.

 

[Hoop Head]

He's done well today. He's definitely a situational player vs an everyday starter who gets 30+ minutes.

Neither Richards or Plumlee were meant to start. That's a failure by the Suns front office.

 

[AzCardsfan76]

Typical Suns….

 

[Yuma]

Why the timeout now? Just let the clock roll and get on the airplane sooner!

 

[95pro]

First play in OT, pretty predictable to go to Jokic. Idk how they didn’t plan for that.

 

[Chaplin]

Typical Suns….

Well, taking the #2 team in the west to overtime after being down a lot isn’t exactly typical Suns…

 

[Mainstreet]

The game was over for all intent and purpose when it went into overtime.

 

[Yuma]

First play in OT, pretty predictable to go to Jokic. Idk how they didn’t plan for that.

To his credit, Jokic plowed his way down to the basket. What can Plumlee do when the refs don't call that?

 

[AzCardsfan76]

Not Plumlee.

Going small would be better. Richards is worth a look. Bol² maybe.

As much as I love Bol, he doesn’t get minutes because he’s such a liability on defense and can’t rebound.

 

[mjb21aztd]

Bud still needs to go ok effort washed season oh well ((

 

[GatorAZ]

Jokic isn’t human.

 

[Yuma]

Suns started the comeback in the fourth by getting into their offense faster. Why can't they do this ALL game?

 

[AzCardsfan76]

Well, taking the #2 team in the west to overtime after being down a lot isn’t exactly typical Suns…

Well, playing like dog crap for most of the game, turning the ball over, and over, and over again, being completely lost on defense, over, and over and over again. That’s typical Suns

 

[Mainstreet]

Final (OT):

[Yuma]

Win one, lose one. .500 team down the stretch!!

 

[Mainstreet]

That loss hurt, especially when Plumlee couldn't hang onto that key rebound. That was the game.

 

[Hoop Head]

Well, taking the #2 team in the west to overtime after being down a lot isn’t exactly typical Suns…

The Suns are typical in how they provide false hope. This isn't hockey, a loss in overtime is still a loss.
