Suns @ Raptors Wednesday game thread, 11-29-2023

[Yuma]

And Drake is there?? Kinda impressed - showing up when the team sucks shows good sports character

He is staying in PHX to watch our games. Raptors fan originally.

 

[Phrazbit]

I have not been able to watch but… yikes. Durant having a bad shooting game and Booker with one of the worst games of his career… woof.

 

[AsUpRoDiGy]

Book partied too hard with drake last night

 

[TJ]

I hate Canada

 

[AzCardsfan76]

Good run over the last couple of weeks, rough game tonight, big bounce back next game.

 

[Mainstreet]

Final:

Raptors 112 - Suns 105

 

[Chaplin]

Welp we weren't going to go undefeated the rest of the season...

 

[TJ]

Random, but Christian Koloko for the Raptors has missed the entire season so far with an upper respiratory infection. That's like Connor Jackson-type poo

 

[Mainstreet]

This is one of the worst games the Suns have played in a while. Both Booker and Durant had off games.

 

[Mainstreet]

Some final stats.

Did Book get hurt?? Just saw the box score and I’m like what??!

 

[Chaplin]

Some final stats.

Durant took 30 shots! 30!!

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns winning streak stops at seven games.

Worst game, but our floor isn't too low when we lose.

 

[Yuma]

Durant took 30 shots! 30!!

Yeah, that's not good. It's better when he's super efficient with like 16-17 shots to get 30-35 points.

 

[Yuma]

The Suns winning streak stops at seven games.

But that streak put us back in the top of the Pacific Division. We are 6th overall in Western Conference. We need to start another little run.

 

[BirdGangThing]

Nurk tho

8 for 12 / 19pts
14 rebounds 6 assists 2 blocks

That's the type of Center we've been wAyton for

 

[Dr. Jones]

They never should have let Book back in that game. I bet he misses Friday now and is questionable for Monday.

 

[Mainstreet]

This was one of Devin Booker's worst shooting games. Hopefully his ankle will be okay.

[Vacard]

Damn, an ankle injury? It shows we are too dependent on Book to win games. Nugs beat the Clips without Joker and their other top two players.

To be fair, the Clips are a DISASTER.

 

[BirdGangThing]

There was the one play

KD passes to Nurk who heads to the bucket

Help comes so Nurk dishes it out to Okogie for the 3

Okogie passes up on the 3 (he's been kinda shy this year) and he passes it back to Nurk

Nurk looks at the shot clock - realizes it's all in him so he busts a spin move and puts it in off the backboard

 

[Mainstreet]

Devin Booker played through a right ankle injury.

To be fair, the Clips are a DISASTER.

Would we have beat them without Durant, Book, and Nurk?

 

[Chaplin]

Would we have beat them without Durant, Book, and Nurk?

Maybe. The Clips beat themselves most of the time, we'd just help it along. Why would we be without Nurk?
