Pistons @ Suns Wednesday game thread 2-14-2024

[Hoop Head]

I don't think the Suns are winning as much as Detroit is losing. They're bad, really bad.

 

[BirdGangThing]

Vogel comes right back with the same insane defense posse line up

KD O'Neal Okogie Lee and Eubanks

 

[BirdGangThing]

Saban looks comfortable now

 

[Mainstreet]

Saban Lee already with 8 points.

 

[AzCardsfan76]

Hustle Suns!

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns look like defensive backs picking off those passes.

This is true, but no Beal, Booker ejected and Durant sitting for quite a while. Love the hustle these guys are playing with.

 

[BirdGangThing]

Be nice if we ended up resting KD after the third

Don't mess with my fantasy.

 

[CardsSunsDbacks]

Royce is literally everywhere on defense. His hands and reads are pretty impressive.

 

[clyde2tw]

Blessing in disguise that BS calls on Book. We finally get to see how Saben's D in combination with JO and RO can cause havoc.

 

[Mainstreet]

Royce with the corner three.

 

[Proximo]

Holy crap does wiseman have low basketball IQ.

Pistons make the suns look masterful at protecting the ball.

 

[Proximo]

Pistons fans must be frustrated.

That’s an understatement, i don’t think I could watch that team every night.

I know Pistons is a bad team on both D and O, but I'm so happy that we unlocked the best defense ever played under Vogel in this game. With this type of D, our bench can always brigde the gap of big 3 resting in any game. I've been a Saben Lee fan right from when he had 2 10-day deals with us. His D is among the best, ultra strong for his size, only problem is offense he might get lost when forced to make decision as PG. But on this team, he needs not be required to do so, just as no need to have JO parking on the corner for 3s. With a lot cuts and ball movements, their off. shortcomings can be properly hidden.

 

[BirdGangThing]

70pts in the first half

KD only has 12 of them - Booker only had 7 and Bradley Beal is hamstrung

That's 51pts scored by the not so great 8

 

[TJ]

This is a glorified preseason game. This Detroit team is all sorts of garbage.

 

[Hoop Head]

I feel for Monty and Cade. Monty is at least making a ridiculous amount of money. He chose this. Cade is stuck. The Pistons have like 3-4 guys on their roster who are NBA players but other than Cade they're all young and unproven like Ivey, Duran, and Thompson. The team there needs a lot of help.

 

[Mainstreet]

Yes, Durant opens the 2nd half with a three.
