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

[Mainstreet]

Alright I am sold, Dunn was a great pick.

That potentially means so much for this team.

Dunn has that live body one can't teach.

 

[Mainstreet]

Swish goes O'Neale from three.

 

[Mainstreet]

End of 1st quarter:

Suns 36 - Pistons 29

 

[Proximo]

Dunn has that live body one can't teach.

He’ looks very confident, and his D is as advertised.

He already looks better than Royce.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns attempted 14-15, 3-pointers in the quarter.

 

[Mainstreet]

Teams are going to attack Plumlee inside. The Suns need more athleticism there.

It's also evident on his shots inside.

 

[Mainstreet]

Durant looks to be playing center at the moment. Plumlee is out of the game.

Three fouls on KD.

 

[Mainstreet]

He’ looks very confident, and his D is as advertised.

He already looks better than Royce.

Dunn seems to play on a Pogo stick like Rodman. He plays bigger than his size.

 

[Mainstreet]

TyTy Washington enters the game.

 

[Mainstreet]

Oso making up for his early miss short.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Whoa… VERY impressive first quarter from Ryan Dunn on both ends of the court.

 

[Proximo]

Yeah I have not been impressed with him at all.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Yeah, his D popped on the court and his stroke looks pretty solid.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Yeah I have not been impressed with him at all.

If Dunn ends up a player, either Grayson or O’Neal’s deals (and whatever picks we can still trade) could come in handy to get another big body.

 

[Mainstreet]

Halftime:

Suns 53 - Pistons 46

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.

Suns need more at the 4/5. Pistons are not reluctant to take the ball inside.

 

[Mainstreet]

Bol Bol is having trouble fitting into the flow of the game. Maybe this will resolve itself, maybe not.

 

[Mainstreet]

Tyus Jones opens the second half with a floater.

 

[Mainstreet]

Four fouls now on Durant.

 

[gimpy]

I've been following this game on ESPN 's gamescast. There has been a couple of different times where it shows Detroit getting multiple consecutive rebounds.

 

[Mainstreet]

Durant looks spry with the ball.

 

[Phrazbit]

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

 

[Mainstreet]

Timeout. Suns lead 67-58.

Making threes can create space in a hurry. Booker is 0-6 from that range, though.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Plumlee looks really washed.
