Suns @ Pistons Tuesday game thread, October 8th, 2024: Preseason

[Mainstreet]

Beal getting to the corner quickly for the three tonight.

 

[Mainstreet]

Jones is a slick playmaker, cannot believe he was lingering in free agency so long.

Tyus Jones is an excellent playmaker and player.

 

[Mainstreet]

Beal really elevated to hit that shot. He looks better this season, maybe healthier?

 

[Proximo]

I think Dunn is going to get real minutes, even if he can’t shoot outside. He is really disruptive, and he is active on offense, moving, screening, slashing.

I’m sure plumlee is on cruise control, being old and this being the preseason. But man is he slow. Outside of screen setting he doesn’t do much well. Eubanks was putrid for us, but I think we’re still hurting at the position.

I do not agree Eubanks was putrid, I would rather have him than plumlee.

What I have seen so far is Oso will get plumlee’s minutes.

 

[Mainstreet]

I think the Suns would be better if they could have kept Eubanks for depth.

 

[Mainstreet]

Oso for the dunk.

 

[Mainstreet]

Frank and Bol Bol enter the game.

 

[Phrazbit]

We missed the 3 but that catch and handoff move by Oso made me go ”ooo!”

 

[Mainstreet]

End of 3rd quarter:

Suns 84 - Pistons 66

I think the Suns would be better if they could have kept Eubanks for depth.

Having 15 guys who expect to be in the rotation makes for a lot of really angry players on a roster.

And I’d hate not having any way to reasonably play young players.

 

[Mainstreet]

Kaminsky might make a better backup center than Plumlee, but the Suns really could use both.

I don't think Kaminsky would be angry.

 

[Mainstreet]

Bol Bol hasn't shown much. I'm not sure why.

 

[Mainstreet]

Dare I say, Kaminsky looks more mobile than Plumlee.

 

[Mainstreet]

Finally, Bol Bol hits a mid-range shot.

 

[Phrazbit]

I don't think Kaminsky would be angry.

I agree on that, but he’s at a different stage in his career.

 

[Mainstreet]

Dunn with a high arcing three.

 

[Mainstreet]

I agree on that, but he’s at a different stage in his career.

Yeah, I'd settle for players that want to play and be on the roster.

 

[gimpy]

I just checked the team stats. Blocks way up. Steals way up. Turn overs way down. So far. Middle of the 4th.

 

[Mainstreet]

Collin goes boom from three... and again.

 

[CardsSunsDbacks]

Collin goes boom from three.

And again!

 

[Mainstreet]

My current wish list: Gillespie and Kaminsky.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns are getting a look at Diakite.

[Mainstreet]

TyTy misses badly.

 

[Proximo]

Ty Ty has looked awful.
