Wizards @ Suns Sunday game thread 12-17-2023

[Dback Jon]

Book needs to mail every ref in the league and apology letter - or do some kinda public statement or something

For what?

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns retain possession. Wow. I thought they might not retract the foul.

 

[Chaplin]

Nice.

 

[Chaplin]

Foul time

 

[Hoop Head]

I thought it wasn't a timeout if the challenge was successful? I guess now that you get a second challenge if the first is successful the second is a timeout regardless, which is dumb.

 

[nashman]

Ridiculous refs geesh

 

[BirdGangThing]

For what?

He called them out after the Lakers game and hasn't had a fairly called game since imo - way worse than usual and on both sides of the court - Book's only gone to the line twice tonight but has 5 or 6 fouls lol

 

[Yuma]

EJ, "Not a pretty game." 100%

 

[Phrazbit]

An ugly win is a win… a helluva lot better than a loss.

At least the train ride home won’t be powered by steam coming out of my ears.

 

[Dback Jon]

Too many missed foul shots

I think they chose to use the timeout to advance the ball

It ain't over yet. These are the 2023-24 Suns.

Yes

There's not a part of the rule that says, you win the challenge but we still take your time out.

 

[Yuma]

Yes

IDK, Vogel seemed to be protesting that part of that before we inbounded.

 

[Dback Jon]

Too many missed foul shots

Quoted for emphasis

 

[Chaplin]

2nd challenge is a timeout regardless. Good thing is that we get to take advantage of it being a timeout so we advance. Dint have a problem with it.

 

[Yuma]

Quoted for emphasis

I will take your free throws and raise you turn overs!

 

[Yuma]

2nd challenge is a timeout regardless.

Thanks!

So like most of his career

 

[Mainstreet]

A much needed win.

 

[Mainstreet]

Final:

Suns 112 - Wizards 108

 

[elindholm]

Don't worry, the Suns will turn it on in the fourth quarter.

I don't know why you guys ever doubt me.

 

[BirdGangThing]

I said sit got damn we needed that win

 

[Yuma]

Saben Lee hurt? We could have actually used his buckets tonight when no one could score.
