    Spurs @ Suns Thursday game thread, 11-2-2023

    Well, from what I've seen so far, Yuta and Little need to be playing less (maybe Goodwin, too), Okogie probably shouldn't be starting, they might need another big man to cut into Nurkic and Eubanks' playing time, and KBD (and Metu) need more minutes. Also, they need a PG off the bench... and...

    Honestly, starting to wonder if Vogel knows what he's doing. Waiting late into the fifth game of the season before giving KBD some run... and still no sign of Metu. And the team mostly running around like headless chickens on both offense and defense through multiple games now.

    Still, there have to be situations where they can use him, instead of him being glued to the bench every game.

    Again, makes me wonder what we might also get from Metu if Vogel would pull his head out.

    Would LOVE to see the Suns do to the Spurs what they did to us the other night.

    Yeah, that is beginning to look like a misfire. Time will tell if it is was a big one or less consequential.

    I don't think anyone was questioning whether Wembanyama has talent. But for the life of me, I just can't imagine him staying healthy for any long period of time. Super tall guys who aren't tanks like Shaq (and even some who are) just never avoid foot/knee/lower leg issues for very long in a...

    Or maybe they can at least try playing Metu more and at least see if he can do anything. It can't hurt.

    If they can play the Suns every game, they sure aren't.

    Absolutely agree. Not saying it's the reason for all of the Suns problems, but NBA refs are a joke.

    Seems to me to be a bit of a combination of coaching, no real PG, the bench guys they brought in have been less proficient than we assumed, and the buzzkill of Beal and then Booker being laid up.

    I don't have strong feelings one way or the other. I'm just pointing out that people here get annoyed with Flex more because he comes off as pompous rather than because of the "insider" info he's tweeting. That's why people jump on him whenever he's wrong about something.

    I don't know if anyone is particularly annoyed about him giving his "insider" takes, whether they are correct or not. It's more that his way of doing it comes off as self-aggrandizing and self-promoting.

    Choke somebody, too. Bobby would have wanted it that way.

    Greg Schulte

    Indeed... great play by play announcer. Sad that Phoenix sports loses both him and Al McCoy in the same year. As a sidebar, I never knew until recently that he was in his 70s. I don't recall ever seeing his photo, but just heard him on the radio. And he always sounded younger to me, so I just...

    Mavericks haven't exactly been playing a murderers row of opponents either - SA and Mem on the road, and Brooklyn and Chicago at home.

    RIP: Walter Davis (1954-2023)

    Wow... didn't know he was ill. I guess that was why he didn't attend the ROH ceremony. Very sad to hear. He was one of the Suns all time greats. RIP, Sweet D. :(

    Bruce Bochy does it again. The dude can manage a baseball team.

    2023 World Series Game 5 Texas Rangers @ Arizona Diamondbacks. 11/1/23

    Dang, assuming they hold on, Rangers are going to finish the post-season winning every single road game they played all the way to the title. That's pretty impressive. In any case, I think the DBacks got bit by the same thing that killed the Phillies the last two years - after having an...

    Nuggets get blasted, too, at Minnesota... so that's nice to see.

    RIP Bobby Knight

    Yeah, just saw that. Controversial figure for sure, and hardly a saint. But was definitely a top notch basketball coach. Between him and his former top assistant Mike Krzyzewski, they have far and away more wins than any other coaching tree duo.

    Milwaukee getting crushed tonight by Toronto, which drops them to 2-2 on the season. So at least they're struggling as well.

    Ayton goes 16 and 10 tonight... and gets some small measure of satisfaction beating Monty's Pistons.

    Spurs @ Suns Tuesday game thread, 10-31-2023

    With Booker out, the Suns offense seems to consist of everyone standing around until someone hits/misses a three pointer or throws the ball away. If Booker and/or Beal are going to continue to miss games throughout the season, that is untenable.
