Suns @ Spurs Thursday game thread 2-20-2025 (After All-Star Break)

[Mainstreet]

After the All-Star break, the Suns resume their five game road trip.

Losing to the Rockets on February 12 was not a good start.

Needless to say, this is the make-or-break portion of the season, as their toughest schedule is still ahead.

The Suns play the Spurs at the Moody Center in Austin, Texas next Thursday.

San Antonio is 23-29 and 3-7 in their last ten games.

Phoenix is 26-28 and likewise, 3-7 in their last ten games.

Thereafter, the Suns play at Bulls (Saturday 2-22), Raptors (Sunday 2-23) and Grizzlies (Tuesday 2-25).

When: Thursday, February 20, 2025

Television: TNT/TRUTV/Max

Radio: KMVP 98.7 / S: KSUN

Time: 7:30 PM Arizona time

They better all be healed after the all-star break or there will be no chance for this team to come together. Realistically based on what we've seen, I have little hope for a late run but like @AzStevenCal said, there is still a slight possibility of it happening. This team has shown that it can play decent defense in stretches but I've never seen it for a full game. Offense isn't a problem other than trying to force feed KD. Defense and rebounding (and stopping with the stupid turnovers) is what would allow us to make a run. But the guys have to commit to it and we haven't seen that thus far.

Victor Wembanyama is doubtful (illness) to play against Phoenix tomorrow night, per Spurs PR.

Oh man that sucks. I would have liked to see him live.

Cody Martin will remain OUT for the Spurs game. All other regular roster players are a go.

It appears Collin Gillespie and Ty Ty Washington are available as well.

So the only game I see this year, all the guys except Martin are healthy. That's what I was hoping for. Sucks that Wemby is probably out, but that will help my 9-year-old's first Suns game to hopefully be a win!

Are you sure you want to set him up for a lifetime of disappointment?

Maybe he’ll do the right thing and make him a spurs fan

I hope you guys are joking, but if not, you win the most pathetic posts of the year contest.

I think I've seen enough of your content to say otherwise.

Maybe you can show up to the game and throw swear words at KD and make my kid's experience complete! I wouldn't put it past some people on this board. That comeback is pretty appropriate coming from you.

Nothing says "Phoenix Suns fans" like being nasty towards each other. Luckily I'll be at the game and you'll still be on your couch in your basement complaining how we paid too much for KD. I didn't solicit such nasty responses from you.

[Chaplin]

You opened the door. Now you have to deal with it.

I've never had an issue with you, and I've even slowed down posting on this board because of the repetitiveness and nastiness, and I've been here 23 years. I'm taking my 9 year old to his first Suns game, and you come back with your terrible post. I'm glad he doesn't have to see the likes of you and a lot of others here.

But I will be in my basement.

Edit: Look guy I didn't even take a jab at you initially. It was a jab at the organization. Then you come at me with this. Don't play the victim.

I hope you guys are joking, but if not, you win the most pathetic posts of the year contest.

I'm done with the back and forth on this. Have fun at the game guy.

 

[Peter Sheldon]

Maybe we should tank and get an awesome first round pick!
....oh wait.

bud is finally playing bol bol - i thought the universe was finally going to give us wemby vs bol bol - 7'3" vs 7'3" but now no wemby - sad face

My dad is now gone but I have a lifetime of great memories watching Suns games with my dad. It's one of the reasons I can go through the ups and downs of the franchise. Chap, the sports bond between father and son(s) is one of the great pleasures of life. Both of my sons grew up as Suns fans and they are very well adjusted. Of course, they got to witness the wonderful Nash years. Uneven seasons like this will come and go but you will always have this bond with your son. Enjoy the game through his eyes!

Yeah, that's too bad. Especially the way Shaq has been hyping up Bol Bol. I hope he has a great game tonight since we are on TNT.

Chap, I don’t think he was taking a shot at you. Seemed like he taking a shot/making a joke at the Suns, as if making your son a Spurs fan would spare him from the pain of being a Suns fan.

Sucks that Wemby is out -- I would have liked to see him play in person tonight. But will get to see Book, KD and Beal, along with Fox and CP3.
