Rescinded or not, I don't like challenging such a small call so early.

 

[BirdGangThing]

lol if dunn misses a game it will tell us everything - obvious move would be for bud to reinstate beal in the starting lineup but on the odd chance he doesn't... right before the trade deadline... ?

 

[Mainstreet]

Bradley for three.

I think an injury could be a small blessing for us fans. That should make the chances he's included in a deal non-existent now. They were low before but an injury hurts his value and that should remove any discussion of him being dealt.

Durant tried to get Bud to stop it, but it was a good challenge.

Bud seems challenge happy. Vogel would only do it when he was sure and Monty never used them. I know you get it back if it's successful but so early it's kind of inconsequential.

There seems to be a lot of calls missed by the referees of late. More and more I think the game is to fast to be called properly without more assistance.

 

[Hoop Head]

Seeing a big with hops who plays hard is still unusual.

 

[Mainstreet]

Allen is looking better and better of late.

 

[Mainstreet]

End of 1st quarter:

Suns 35 - Wizards 24

 

[Yuma]

Suns slowing down. Letting Wizards pull a little...bit...closer...

 

[Mainstreet]

I hope I didn't jinx Allen.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns are missing an interior presence on offense, putting up lots of threes.

 

[Mainstreet]

Ryan Dunn is out for the rest of the game with a reported left ankle sprain.

 

[Mainstreet]

I wouldn't mind seeing Jonas in a Suns uniform.

 

[Yuma]

Suns are missing an interior presence on offense, putting up lots of threes.

I was thinking the threes are in response in the fall off from the number Bud wanted them to shoot, like during the 8-1 run at the start of the season. The Suns have been criticized from straying from the blueprint Bud set up for them. They took way too few the season before under Vogel.

He looks like Bane in the Batman movies and animations. Incredibly huge being.

It's not the number of threes taken per se, but at times, it's nice to get an easy basket inside to regain offensive rhythm.

I better watch some more batman.

Richards is giving the Suns an inside presence. He has 7 points and 14 rebounds.

That's been a problem of the whole team. Guys have open layups and they pass out to the three. It's the new way they play the game I guess. In my day, coaches would pull you out of the game if you did that. LOL.

richards making the most of all this

RO had a path to basket at a fastbreak but chose to go behind 3pt line, with a miss after 3 misses in a role already. Not wise.
