OMG! That put back dunk was crazy by Man Man!

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

OMG BOOK MISSES THE 3 MALUACH FLYS INTO THE TV SCREEN FOR THE REBOUND DUNK ALL IN THE AIR

 

[Yuma]

I think Maluach is already better than Nick Richards.

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

maluach is going to be insane - this is his 3rd game

super impressed by our rookies

halftime suns up 60-58

 

[Yuma]

My point from earlier, is we aren't missing Richards on the trade. Man Man is already better.

Those Green stats at the half are ridiculous!

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

jalen green 20 pts int first half- needed every one of them but the 3rd quarter has become book's quarter so watch for that

Did you see his efficiency? It's crazy good tonight!

manman came in in the 1st quarter with the unit that caught us back up - his 2nd quarter was great!

damn our rookies are fun to watch

I have been watching his box outs. Really good. He had a couple great screens.

 

[Proximo]

For the first time I have some real hope manman might not be a bust.

Best half we have played in a long time.

leading the team in rebounds with 5 - only played 11 minutes

What Maluach lacks is mainly strength and experience. He is supposed to be a quick learner. Green slowly get his legs back, and thus shooting touches. He is not a good passer yet while driving full speed. Fleming confident with his 3s. Highsmith with the highest +/- without scoring.

Yeah, I think they have shorted him a couple, to be honest.

Well maybe in this one half. Don’t get to carried away.

 

[Proximo]

I hate to say it, but with highsmith fleming and even Coffey playing the way they are Dunn should be benched.

 

[Mainstreet]

Short-handed, the Suns have to get production from starters O'Neale and Ighodaro.

 

[Yuma]

Well maybe in this one half. Don’t get to carried away.

Last game he was solid, too. He's only played three. Two of them better than the average of what was Richards was doing. Man Man is at least a solid third center for us already. I'm kinda setting the bar low.

 

[Mainstreet]

Yeah, depth is always a good thing.

Dunn definitely hit a wall and regressed a bit. His 3s recently often became airball. too nervous?

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

i think maluach has played about 40 minutes of meaningful nba basketball - total - already using his size - hasn't been bringing the ball down low tonight lol all above the rim
