No FT's for either team in the 1st quarter. That's pretty impressive.

Didn't we into triple OT against the Nets one time with Nash? I think it was like 150-153, but I have no clue.

*edit just looked up that game and it was 161 - 157. Suns won

(in 2006)

Nah Sabonis folds in the postseason but he is a huge upgrade from Nurkic though.

It's just another case of JJ waiting too long to make a trade for whatever reason then when time comes to make a trade he trades our players when they have the lowest possible value.

Daron Fox is a better player than Devin Booker.

Does anyone still think we don't need a PG?

This offense is horrible.

Sweet. I'll just focus on homework.

Truth be told, there was no way Sarver was going to let Jones trade away his golden boy no matter if it would have improved the team or not. No chance at all. Just as he was then, Jones is still just a yes man and has little to no actual power to do his named job. It's a title and nothing more. Ishbia and Thomas are running this train wreck in progress, so let's be real there.

Nurkic has been pretty solid for us and has played a hell of a lot more games to this point than I honestly expected. He's been pretty metronome like as a double-double machine. I just wish his post and individual defense was better. Outside of that, he an improvement over Ayton in every other meaningful metric.

Yeah..I just don't see it with this team.We finally get an owner willing to go all in, and we end up with one of the most unlikeable Suns teams ever.

Apparently the dumbass Suns front office does. Chris Haynes reported that Suns aren’t interested in acquiring a PG, only a backup wing.

Good thing Allen is 6/7 from 3. Need to stop with the pull up 3s though.

LOL booker, what a bad decision maker

SkyBill40 · Post #37 » by **SkyBill40** » Wed Jan 17, 2024 2:53 am

Friggin' trash ass effort by this team. Booker making utterly stupid decisions and tossing up air balls. If he's going to be the PG... BE THE PG and distribute. Let's let Allen and other shooters get us back into this.

That's been JJ's whole strategy after he acquired CP3, just fail to find a worthy replacement for CP3 and he keeps signing 2 way players from the scrapheap of unwanted players.

This entire front office is devoid of any brains and it's like they handed over the team to a 12 year old kid assembling rosters on NBA2K, I would argue that the 12 year old actually might be an improvement over Isbhia and Thomas.

Thank the basketball gods for Grayson Allen tonight.

Yeah, if he was just shooting 3/7, which is around his avg, instead of 6/7, we'd be getting beat 58-35.
