Suns @ Nuggets Wednesday game thread 1-11-2023

[Mainstreet]

Suns should have traded for Aaron Gordon when he was available.

 

[Mainstreet]

Craig calls a bank 3-pointer.

 

[Mainstreet]

Washington with a rough start. Maybe we see Saban Lee?

 

[Mainstreet]

Jock for THREE.

 

[Proximo]

Giving good effort again, but if Mikal and Washington can’t get going this will get ugly.

okogie could actually be really good if he could make his J reliable.

 

[Mainstreet]

Saban Lee is in the game.

 

[Chaplin]

Only down six is a small victory for this group.

 

[Mainstreet]

End of 1st quarter:

Nuggets 34 - Suns 28

 

[Yuma]

Closer than I expected so far.

 

[Mainstreet]

This is a great opportunity for Saban Lee to get playing time.

 

[Chaplin]

Bad night for Washington to be awful.

 

[Mainstreet]

Washington can't find the handle on the ball tonight.

 

[Mainstreet]

Washington needed that basket.

 

[Yuma]

Suns body language looks defeated now.

 

[Yuma]

Time to put in the bench. Oh! Wait.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns body language looks defeated now.

I think they look a step slow after playing last night, especially Saric.

 

[Mainstreet]

Dario gets on the scoreboard with a 3-pointer.

 

[82CardsGrad]

Closer than I expected so far.

LOL… Suns about to put up a 55 point first half, and they’re down by 20+! Eeeeesh…

 

[Mainstreet]

Halftime:

Nuggets 70 - Suns 54

 

[Chaplin]

I think the only players with the grit to push through their tiredness are Okogie and Craig.

You mean bench guys can't handle the rigors of a back-to-back playing extended minutes at altitude?

 

[Matt L]

Can we trade for Bones Hyland mid game?

 

[Mainstreet]

It's tough to win with seven players out.

Deandre Ayton- OUT
Devin Booker- OUT
Jae Crowder- OUT
Cam Johnson- OUT
Chris Paul- OUT
Landry Shamet- OUT
Cam Payne- OUT

 

[Mainstreet]

Saric leading the fast break for two.

 

[Matt L]

good thing we won last night...because these guys look gassed.

 

[Yuma]

They remind me of some of the Sarver years. We just did not put the requisite talent on the floor and fielded some teams like tonight. What fans we were to keep on watching!
