Preseason: Suns @ Nuggets Monday game thread, 10-10-2022

[Mainstreet]

Not all bad. Bench was ok. CP3 kind of looking old though, which is a bit concerning.

Paul is still getting the assists (6) which is encouraging.

 

[Proximo]

Pretty good defensive effort tonight.

 

[Yuma]

Pretty good defensive effort tonight.

That's where we win games.

 

[Proximo]

Book is forcing it. Bad shot.

 

[Proximo]

Jeez, Craig hits a 3 after we had missed 13 in a row.

 

[Mainstreet]

Booker hits a couple of shots. He is on fire!

 

[Proximo]

Booker hits a couple of shots. He is on fire!

It's all relative I guess.

 

[Mainstreet]

It's all relative I guess.

I'm just having some fun. Good to see Booker hit some shots.

Not all bad. Bench was ok. CP3 kind of looking old though, which is a bit concerning.

I thought this same thing so many times last year in games where he was invisible on offense and exploited on D. And then for much of the 4th quarter he'd play like vintage CP3. Hope he still has that on/off switch.

 

[Mainstreet]

End of 3rd quarter:

Suns 81 - Nuggets 78

 

[AzStevenCal]

Everytime I turn around it seems like Ish happened. I often wish we'd have kept him as our backup PG all these years. He's not perfect but he uses his one real weapon, quickness, to good effect.

 

[Proximo]

Hmm. Not really happy it is a 3 point game when our starters played most of that quarter.

 

[Mainstreet]

I still miss Ish Smith. He is an easy player to like.

 

[Proximo]

Good lord, Okogie does not know what he is doing on offense.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Pacers may have done the Suns a huge favor by waiving Duane Washington Jr. so they could submit an offer sheet to Ayton.

 

[Proximo]

Okogie does not seem in control of his body when he has the ball.

 

[Proximo]

Ok, I'm about ready to say I've seen enough of Okogie for the season.

 

[Proximo]

Suns can't score.

 

[Yuma]

Suns can't score.

I worry about our offense more than our defense, although everyone talks about our offense being the strength of the team. At times we have trouble scoring.

 

[Proximo]

This has gotten ugly. Oh well it's preseason with our scrubs I guess.

 

[Mainstreet]

I'm so liking Jock Landale.

 

[Proximo]

Nice play by Landale. Steal and the dunk.

 

[Proximo]

I'm so liking Jock Landale.

Yeah, just wish his shot was a bit better. Maybe it will get there.

 

[Mainstreet]

Final:

Nuggets 107 - Suns 105

 

[TJ]

Landale was a beast at SMC.
