Suns @ Kings Friday game thread 12-22-2023

[Yuma]

I'm telling you guys, if we ever see a healthy Beal, it will look like Fox looks now.

 

[Mainstreet]

Finally, we get a look at Saban Lee.

 

[Yuma]

Finally, we get a look at Saban Lee.

Oh, I expect some lay ups from him.

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

Suns have only attempted 3 three pointers while the Kings have shot 9

Suns are primarily looking for mid range shots and passes streaking to the bucket - gotta admit it's better than chucking up 3s at 31%

I think the Kings are also guarding tighter out at the three point line than we are. They got some wide open looks.

He ain’t close to the player Fox is now.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns can't pass. What happened to them. Don't they practice.

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

Suns shooting 47% right now

 

[AzCardsfan76]

Vogel getting creative with the line up, or desperate??

 

[Yuma]

He ain’t close to the player Fox is now.

I saw him play that way in PHX last season.

 

[Mainstreet]

Oh, I expect some lay ups from him.

He can do more than that, though. Lee can play defense.

 

[Yuma]

Vogel getting creative with the line up, or desperate??

Sending a message. Can't play the same guys all the time and go 3-10 or whatever our record has been. Gotta open it up to everyone.

 

[Yuma]

I know he can play offense, I am a little skeptical on his point of attack D.

I like it, I would have loved to see Saban get worked into the rotation earlier in the season.

 

[AzCardsfan76]

Saban with a block!

 

[Mainstreet]

Lee blocked Fox's shot.

 

[Mainstreet]

End of 1st quarter:

Kings 35 - Suns 30

 

[Mainstreet]

Give him a chance. Goodwin isn't doing much.

 

[GatorAZ]

40 minute first qtr,

 

[Proximo]

Suns have only attempted 3 three pointers while the Kings have shot 9

Suns are primarily looking for mid range shots and passes streaking to the bucket - gotta admit it's better than chucking up 3s at 31%

And they have gotten mostly open looks.

we have to generate more good 3 pt looks.

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

Suns hanging around and that's with Vogel trying new things - defense has been better as has team rebounding - Suns have apparently abandoned the 3 to work on other things like points in the paint and avoiding double teams

 

[Cheesebeef]

I saw him play that way in PHX last season.

For one quarter. Fox does this night in, night out. Against EVERYONE.

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

And they have gotten mostly open looks.

Theme seems to be free throws > 3 pointers

 

[AzCardsfan76]

These turnovers are so lazy.

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

Metu scared to shoot the 3 - passes to Lee who bricks the 3 - then Metu bricks the 3 next time down
