Bucks @ Suns Tuesday game thread 2-6-2024

[Yuma]

I was surprised how well KD guarded Giannis. No one has slowed him down all season.

 

[BirdGangThing]

I'm about to smoke a fat Bol Bol because damn - dude got no minutes - I'm guessing because how he played in practice? Someone or several people let him know - allen iverson you are not

And since then you gotta admit - the one thing I think he doesn't get enough credit for is how he watches the shot and it's tragectory - instead of fighting thru someone boxing out he anticipates

 

[Mainstreet]

No KBD, Little or Metu tonight.

 

[clyde2tw]

We committed way too many avoidable TOs, particularly in the 4th. Crowder and Payne played very good for Bucks. A hard win against a depleted team.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Do we count this as a fortunate win or a display of progress?

Taking callers now

It's a win but sort of a loss until this team gets their poo together in the 4th

 

[Mainstreet]

I was surprised how well KD guarded Giannis. No one has slowed him down all season.

Even so, Giannis had 34 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists.

 

[Chaplin]

That’s tough on a top defender. He’s a former DPOY if I’m not mistaken. He will get the benefit of the doubt on sixth foul.

True but we tried so hard to get his first…

 

[Chaplin]

No.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

No KBD, Little or Metu tonight.

I have been mad about this for weeks. A near fully healthy team and an 8 man rotation in February is nonsense.

I will dance when Vogel is fired.

Long time listener…. First time caller….


Both…..

 

[Chris_Sanders]

No.

So winning by 8 against a team missing 3 starters and pissing away a big lead in the 4th is a good outcome?

Hey, leave the Gorilla alone.

They also built that lead in the 4th quarter and outscored the opponent in the 4th quarter. They only pissed the lead away when the comeback was essentially out of reach for the Bucks.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Man I would love to eat a suplex from one of the awesome lady wrestlers this day

 

[sdscard4]

W is a W
Lakers beat Boston with no James or Davis so definitely don't care how or against who.

I want a championship so bad, I hope it's correctable and not all on Vogel.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Middleton’s a total shell of himself now, huh?

That's the exact opposite of this. The Suns were fully healthy and beat a team missing 3 starters by 8.

That's the reality with this team.

He got hurt after 8 minutes

 

[Cheesebeef]

Ah.

Well, whatever. Plenty of teams took
Advantage of us when we were injured. Turnabouts fair play now.

So you just expect us to win by 80? This is the NBA where we have decades upon decades of games that have shown teams can beat you no matter the injuries...starters...reserves..dancers...owners...coaches

At home against a team missing 3 starters, I would expect our starters to rest late in the 4th

I am still smarting from a Suns loss to a depleted Heat team a couple of years ago.

Still, the Suns don't value the ball and 4th quarter leads.

 

[sdscard4]

I get it . I would love nothing more to be sitting the starters with 4 minutes left.

 

[DJ Tabooh]

That was an unfortunate injury. KD was in his landing space and he rolled his ankle. He’s in a walking boot post game.
