Yuta says take that.

 

[Hoop Head]

Monte playing for the win lol playing guys lots of minutes against our bench

He hasn't overplayed anyone but Ausur Thompson, who is a rookie. No one other than Ausur has seen more than 25 minutes though. Not sure what you're seeing but he's playing his bench too.

Nice to see Monte still stupid and running guy too many minutes even in a worthless preseason game! Probably got in his feelings when they were getting smoked all game till the end.

 

[Hoop Head]

That 4th quarter was 38-18 Detroit. That's ugly. Bagley was hot though.

 

[Mainstreet]

Keion says I want it.

3 starters over 24 minutes and still going and the one PF 40 minutes I don’t care if he’s a rook he’s a starter against our scrubs… lol

 

[nashman]

Lame calls by these refs as well…

 

[nashman]

Saban just looks so out of control most of the time…

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns need a basket here.

 

[Yuma]

Saban Lee looks gassed.

Where are you getting these numbers? He's played 1 starter, a rookie, a lot. The rest has been pretty normal. You don't need to like Monty but youre creating a false narrative to bash him. When the Suns were a lottery team, our young guys played 20-30 minutes in preseason. They need the reps. We're in overtime now and no one has played half the game for Detroit except Ausur.

Book tapping his wrist like let's go! LOL!

 

[Muggz]

Vogel is getting a good look at what needs to be trimmed from that 3rd string.

 

[Yuma]

Nurk looks 290!

 

[Yuma]

Metu was NOT passing that. LOL!

 

[Yuma]

Metu 6/6 on FTs.

 

[Mainstreet]

Metu swishes two free throws. Suns up by 4 with 9.5 seconds left.

 

[Hoop Head]

Simpson looks like Kevin Hart in a wig

 

[Yuma]

Metu is a good guy to have as a big out on the floor since he hits his FTs.

 

[Mainstreet]

Final:

Suns 130 - Pistons 126

 

[BirdGangThing]

Overtime lol wth we up by like 20+

 

[Yuma]

Watanabe and Allen are gym rat smart guys too have on the floor. Just do all the little things to help a team win.

 

[Yuma]

Suns leading scorer today, Allen on his birthday!

 

[Hoop Head]

Metu is a good guy to have as a big out on the floor since he hits his FTs.

Metu looked much better than I anticipated. I thought he might be a roster casualty but he had more range and better shot than I anticipated. I'd like to see him in the second unit some.

Here are some final stats.
