Watching the end of the Sixers game, oh Kelly Oubre, that was a moment…

 

[Proximo]

Maybe not bring in Beal?

That one is debatable, but I’m pretty sure that was ishbias call, not jones.

Looked fair to me. Nurse was losing his mind over nothing.

Maxey thing should have been a no call, but it wouldn’t have changed anything.

I was more talking about Oubre ignoring all of his teammates and deciding to dribble into multiple players to try to win the game himself and not even getting a shot off before the buzzer.

 

[Phrazbit]

Allen really gets bullied on D.

 

[Raindog]

The bench is about as good as you can expect for a bunch of minimum salary players.

Do you really not understand how much the cap is limiting the teams ability to improve?

If you were the GM what move would you have made?

They could have invested the resources they did have into at least one semi-competent PG, for one thing. And probably looked at some more interior defensive help, given Nurkic's limitations.

Instead, they brought in a bunch of undersized wings who can't shoot reliably that they had to dump at the deadline... so they could bring in another undersized wing who can't shoot reliably.

 

[Absolute Zero]

Nice 1st so far

 

[Phrazbit]

The threes are on… keep taking them!

 

[Proximo]

Suns actually are moving the ball and shooting well so far.

 

[Suns_fan69]

The big key with Murray out is to try and claw out some leads when Jokic is out and weather the storm when he's in.

 

[BirdGangThing]

drewbanks sucks

 

[BirdGangThing]

lmao vogel is actually reacting to denver's line up - just put beal back in because of all the shooters they have on the floor - good for frank lol

 

[Hoop Head]

Thad Young couldn't get off the bench vs the Spurs and now he's in 1st quarter vs the Nuggets. It makes no sense.

I understand injuries happen but Young should have seen more minutes before we needed him to cover so many for Nurkic. Vogel can't manage a rotation for s....

 

[BirdGangThing]

wow vogel actually countered their counter

 

[Suns_fan69]

Nice to see Beal make some 3s (last one notwithstanding).

Umm, nurk is out and he’s the third string center.

Thad looked awful the few times he has played. He has been decent so far tonight.

 

[JosiahLee]

You gotta account for the 10 point lead we will carry into the 4th… so 10-15 point loss.

Bravo

 

[BirdGangThing]

it's almost like vogel is responding to the game and trying to bring in players that will give us an advantage - ive heard of this technique before - i think they call it "coaching"

 

[JosiahLee]

Why can’t all our players play with the effort of O’Neale? He’s a bright spot in a dark season.

 

[BirdGangThing]

needed a game from oneale tonight

 

[BirdGangThing]

if we can keep drewbanks out we may have a chance lol

He should have seen more minutes when we blew out San Antonio. He could have been used when Eubanks was being useless as well.

He's a new addition, he wasn't going to look great right away. We could have used his size over the last half dozen games but Vogel insisted on Eubanks playing despite poor play. It's Vogel's job to keep guys ready for when they're needed more. He's done a poor job outside of prepping Okogie and Roddy to play PG, which is a joke all on it's own.

 

[Proximo]

I will admit suns are showing way more heart tonight then I expected.

It might just be the Denver matchup though, I think they have confidence against them.

You mean the first San Antonio game, yeah maybe.
