Knicks @ Suns Friday game thread 12-15-2023

This Marion tribute is going to be a sad affair.

Suns need to bring the matrix out of retirment prob faster than anyone on team lol

 

[Sunstroke]

Suns may not even make the play in tourney. Vogel looks, after 25 games in,
to be overhyped as a head coach just because he won a 'Bubble' Championship.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

It’s time to admit it, until proven otherwise this team is mediocre to fech. And it’s getting worse. That’s impressive. They’re even making me start to question book bc he’s being played in a position that doesn’t maximize his abilities.

Love that ishbia was willing to spend spend and swing for the fences. But hope he takes lessons outta this somehow. If I recall correctly Cuban similarly had to learn some lessons as a wealthy brash new owner.

 

[GatorAZ]

I hope Mat Ishbia is paying attention. He is there tonight.

Isiah will be prez of bball ops by January 1st at this rate.

 

[SeattleCardinal]

Lots of things are going wrong, as noted. But I’m especially disappointed by the defense. I expected Vogel to drive some improvement, given his reputation.

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

I think it's a defensive issue for the most part

 

[Phrazbit]

We've played the easiest schedule in the league so far.

That drops us to 2-9 against teams with a winning record.

This could go sideways in a really bad way.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

I feel like I have to post after every game: this is a stupid team. For a veteran team full of former playoff participants is shocking how low their IQ is this season. They make the dumbest turnovers I’ve ever seen on a court. And keep making the same mistakes. Know what’s dumber than dumb? Making a dumb mistake . . . and then making again . . . 10 times.

 

[NashDishesDimes]

This team is complete trash, zero offensive scheme and no defensive personel, bad combination. This is going to get ugly

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Kd never shows much emotion but he’s frustrated in the postgame

 

[clyde2tw]

Much respect to Brunson - phenomenonal performance - amazing

I hated him as he was the main reason we got embarassed 2years ago in the playoffs agains Mavs. But now really just respect for him, modest and down-to-earth personality.
But Suns' defense is just disorganized with no cohesion. And on both sides, the same problems come back over and over, like careless TOs and no communication or awareness for def. rotation.

 

[elindholm]

Isiah will be prez of bball ops by January 1st at this rate.

You wish. It will be Isiah Thomas.

 

[Phrazbit]

KD has requested a trade to the Knicks.

Rough times.

lol @ beautiful jump shot

The Suns even mistimed the Shawn Marion ROH induction ceremony.


Unfortunate thing is Suns fans at the arena are leaving with the game basically over, and Shawn Marion’s induction ceremony isn’t until after the game

Looking at the min guys that went in the summer, I wonder why we didn't sign Redish, Lonnie Walker, Oubre, etc. but KBD, DLee, Yuta, Bol instead; and gave away Camara.

We throw more pick 6s than Max Hall

Props to Ishbia for giving Colangelo the mic - props to the crowd for sticking around to honor a great

Bradley Beal's x-ray came out negative.


Frank Vogel said X-rays on Bradley Beal’s ankle came back negative, so that’s good news at the very least. Now we wait to hear further on a potential timetable. Vogel said in the meantime his biggest concern is keeping Beal’s spirits lifted, since he’s obviously “disappointed”

That was full 90 degrees. Whew

 

[Cheesebeef]

I’m pretty happy I chose to watch The Holdovers tonight instead of this game.

Really really good movie.

This team blows.

 

[Hoop Head]

Shawn actually sounds really good. Glad he has a pretty full house still there for him.

 

[95pro]

Least ishbia got this right.
