Nets @ Suns Wednesday game thread 12-13-2023

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

I kinda think they targeted this game for big 3 when they knew beal was close. What better way to show they did well in controversial trade?

 

[Cheesebeef]

The Big 3 will play tonight. It's official. Nassir Little has been cleared to play.

Eric Gordon is OUT.

I was just wondering today if we could go to a bigger look with Metu in there as PF and playing KD at the 3 or vice versa.

Definitely intrigued to see how that works.

 

[Dr. Jones]

Not gonna lie..... I'm pretty excited for this.

 

[Mainstreet]

A lot of fans are wanting Mikal Bridges to sign his Suns jersey.

NBA releases ruling:

Draymond suspended "indefinitely"

good play by the opposing team makes it harder for your own team to win. isn't the point of fandom to watch and cheer your team on to victory. cheering for opposing players is done so in direct opposition to that goal. that kind of fandom just doesn't make sense to me.

Part of being a fan is the word fanatic. Which I think people buy into but in reality, it’s just a game. And I love sports and competition. It’s electric.

But do I really want a big win or loss to radically change my day based off something I have zero control over?

This is not me trying to minimize fandom for anyone. I just don’t inherently think you’re more or less of a fan based on how you show support to your team.

Can I separate recognizing an individual play of an opponent with the reality of it happening against the Suns and wanting us to still win? Yes.

 

[Mainstreet]

Here the starters for tonight.

I’m really trying to understand this though. Like, if Bridges makes a three or has a big dunk, are you clapping after? That is just such a bizarre thing to me.

(Calling fans idiots that would cheer for those guys during the game was stupid on my part and I take that back.) It’s just such a foreign concept to me to cheer for anything the opposing team does, no matter who’s on it, if it’s coming at the expense of the team I’m cheering for.)

 

[Mainstreet]

As a reminder, no Allen, Gordon or Okogie tonight.

Not having three rotation players can hurt.

lol I just ate two 20mg edibles because I thought they were 10mg edibles - should be a fun game tonight

I'd like to take this opportunity to apologize for my posts in advance...

I probably wouldn’t clap if I was at the game. Maybe a verbal acknowledgment of a play here and there. I do see your perspective though.

 

[Vacard]

Why im watching Tolar HS football on the stream?!

 

[Mainstreet]

Bradley Beal will be on a minutes restriction tonight per pre-game show.

With the Suns short on smalls, perhaps Saban Lee gets some minutes.

I really think a lot people don’t understand how well he connected to the fans.

Never missed a game, always the first player for shoot around before the game and at halftime, and played hard all the time on both ends. You really feel it more in person.

Fans always appreciate the players that gave the team their all and left on good terms. It doesn't have to be a team thing unless it comes to winning or losing.

 

[Mainstreet]

Tip-off.

 

[Mainstreet]

Nurkic gets one to drop. The Nets lead 3-2.

 

[Chaplin]

And those were suns fans cheering for Paul or warriors fans cheering for the warriors?

At the time, it was a noticeable difference between the Paul shot and a shot made by one of the other Warriors.

 

[Cheesebeef]

I just don’t get how this team can be so careless with the ball.

 

[BirdGangThing]

Holy crap they can't really double Book - they can't double KD...

 

[BirdGangThing]

Metu coming into his own and talk about perfect timing

 

[Mainstreet]

The court is well spread for Phoenix but they still have to knock down shots.
