    Suns @ Spurs Monday game thread 3-25-2024

    I can totally understand underestimating a team once, but three times?!? Sorry, you do not get to use that excuse again..

    It's not an excuse, it's simply reality. This team would have a better record with better health, but at the same time we knew this was a strong possibility when the team was put together.

    Of course and that was one of the potential pitfalls of putting this roster together, but these guys missing games is still a factor in the record.

    Suns updates and discussion for the 2023-24 season

    Sure and that is with KD missing 7 games, Booker 14, Beal 29, EG 13, Nurk 4, Eubanks 6 and GA 6. We have easily been one of the more banged up teams in the league while not exactly having a ton of depth and yet have a 58% win percentage. Not crazy to think this team could be pretty darn good...

    Woah woah woah, this is the 7th seed right now. And would have at least one home playoff game if the season ended right now..

    They were absolutely on a roll before Beal went out with another injury. Of course we are in the midst of a very tough post all star break schedule so that isn't exactly helping with those numbers.

    Suns @ Celtics, Thur 3-14-24

    He does average roughly 6 threes a game. Naturally there will be some games he can't get as many looks.

    Suns @ Celtics, Thur 3-14-24

    He was on the floor for 8 minutes straight. This reaction makes it sound like he got pulled after 2-4 minute stint or something.

    Stars are unfortunately allowed extra steps in this current league. Which only makes them more difficult to guard of course..

    And then Ish proceeded to hit a 3 as well. Not sure I really see the issue here.

    Suns @ Celtics, Thur 3-14-24

    On the down side we have dominated the boards and are still trailing. On the plus side they are shooting really well and are only 5 points ahead.

    He had a terrible game followed by a solid 3 games stretch. Then he was out for 5 games and has followed that up with a good 3 game stretch. Prior to that terrible game he simply had a run of solid performances.

    The Grayson Allen thread

    I'm pretty sure JJ is on record with wanting to re-sign him this off season. I also think Allen wants to come back, but is not going to get his hopes up because nothing is guaranteed in the NBA.

    They have like a top 5 net rating all time. It would be a massive failure if they didn't win it all. The 2016 Spurs and 2016 Warriors are the only teams I can find that had a net rating of +10 or more that didn't win the title.

    Suns at Nuggets, Tuesday 3-5-24

    I mean the main issue has been health. Had they thrown three similar players together who all stay healthy than who is to say it would be underperforming?

    Suns updates and discussion for the 2023-24 season

    I mean defense has probably been our main problem. That and not having much outside of those two. Their mid range scoring hasn't been the problem..

    Except they both have a TS% north of 61%. If they weren't uber efficient from the midrange it would be bad (look at someone like DeRozen for example). The ability to hit the midrange shot also has a lot of value in the postseason when the game slows down quite a bit.

    Lakers @ Suns Sunday game thread 2-25-2024

    We just made a trade where we sent out more than we got back. Not sure if it can happen the other way around, but it certainly doesn't have to be 1 for 1.

    Rockets @ Suns Saturday game thread 3-2-2024

    Beal can also miss time and more seamlessly fit back in when he comes back. The way the team operates fundamentally changes with CP in versus out.

    Gotta try to find that balance that existed in the early 90s. The average team was scoring around 105 ppg and defensive players weren't at such a disadvantage.

    2023-24 Around the NBA Thread

    Here is an interesting video showing how rules and more specifically their interpretation and implementation have changed over the decades. Have to say it feel like the 80s/90s seemed to have found the best balance between offense and defense and how strict they were with calls. 60s/70s were too...

    I have to disagree on this. Pay close attention to LeBron's play and you will see him carrying the ball all the time, constantly taking extra steps and gets away with a ton of what should be offensive fouls. His game would suffer a lot if these things were enforced.
