Suns @ Heat Tuesday game thread, 1-13-2026

Wiggins flopped.

No... that is cut and dry, I don't know what Brooks is thinking but that is an obvious foul and it looks really dumb on the replay.

 

[Mainstreet]

lol

I don't know what that means.

 

[SactownSunsFan]

Damn. We had this one. Bam killed us with those 3's

 

[Covert Rain]

Suns had their chance. Brooks was dumb but the poor defense at the end cost them this game.

Also, Book is going to be out for a one or two games. They like to play it safe with injuries. This road trip all of the sudden takes on a different look unless Green comes back next game.

 

[SactownSunsFan]

I don't know what that means.

Oh were you being serious? Because Brooks clearly grabbed him and ripped him down.

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

that's game - got off to a horrible start - destroyed them in the 3rd - then things got ugly and reffed up - covering costly mistakes at the end did us in

win as a team lose as a team - heat made like 5 or 6 3s in a row when it counted - im good

Yeah, Brooks really popped him in the head.

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

damn

Brooks actually didn't grab him if you watch the replay.

 

[Pokinmik]

Couldn’t get one stop on the last like 6-7 heat possessions smh

I watched it several times. And the refs did too. Are they making up that flagrant call?

I don't care about his grabbing the head. It was a clear flagrant on Brooks.

We reached the phase of the Dillon Brooks experiment I was really hoping we wouldn’t ever see… Where his production has fallen off and his antics are now becoming more impactful (negatively) than what he offers otherwise.
Refs will no be cutting him any slack whatsoever and opposing players will continue to find ways to get him to cross the line. He’s on the verge of becoming a liability…

I love this team though. What a great comeback tonight.
They just can’t play a boring game!
They’re not good enough to get past one series in the playoffs.
Tonight highlighted some glaring deficiencies… I mean, other than Book, we literally don’t have any other reliable go-to in crunch time… though, I would’ve preferred having Gillespie out there rather than Allen.
But guys like Allen, O’Neal, Oso… are on the court for too many mins. On top-tier teams, those guys would see a lot less mins.

But damn this team is fun and Brooks is an issue… as I feared he would be.

If someone touches you on the shoulder, do you grab your head...

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

they were better than us tonight - ish happens

kind of afraid to see if we dropped out of the 6th

 

[Yuma]

OK. Coach is going to reset the squad.

Ed Malloy sucks.

Ditto.

Who cares what his reaction is. It was an obvious flagrant and cost us the chance to get an offensive rebound and tie the game.

 

[Yuma]

Leaving Adabayo open for open threes was what really cooked us. They got hot at just the right time from three.

Letting Bam open for 3 consecutive 3pt shots and Powell for 2 in the final minutes was definitely the main reason to lose a 5-6pts lead and the game. Similar late rotation occured also earlier in the game, mainly on RO and Dillon. But we came back from a 20pt deficit and almost won the game.

dtv is not a issue - he's the yang to devin's ying - he was productive on both ends of the court tonight - carrying us at times - made a bad play at the end - book fouled a 3 point shooter recently (for no reason) at the end of a game and we lost - im ride and/or die with brooks - im all in with dillon - wouldn't be the same without him - twitter is full of rockets fans fawning for the villain that vanished

 

[Mainstreet]

There are not many nights Bam is going to shoot 4-6 from three.

He shoots .315 from that range.

I'm curious, outside this one game where he was 1/10 from 3 but had a decent shooting night overall, how his production has fallen off?
