Suns @ Mavericks Wednesday game thread 1-24-2024

I'm sorry but Okogie is playing some quality basketball

 

[Cheesebeef]

I really wish this team ran more.

 

[Chaplin]

Welp, it didn't take us 3 quarters to come back. That's something I guess.

 

[Proximo]

The way okogie has played d the last 5 minutes is why I don’t want to trade him

 

[BirdGangThing]

Suns pull within 1 and suddenly Luka ain't got that smug smirk on his pudgy red face anymore

 

[Mainstreet]

ALLEN.

 

[BirdGangThing]

Book offensive board/tip in!

 

[Proximo]

Okogie is pissing Luka off.

 

[Mainstreet]

Booker with the cleanup shot underneath.

Halftime:

Mavericks 58 - Suns 57

 

[Yuma]

How did this become 57 to 58? Suns showed some grit.

 

[AzStevenCal]

It was meant as humor.

I got it. It's the old: And now, performing a medley of their hit, is The Buggles singing Video Killed the Radio Star.

 

[GatorAZ]

Down by one with KD being terrible is crazy. Good job Suns.

 

[nashman]

Only down 1 at the half they way they are hitting the three compared to us is quite amazing actually!

 

[Chaplin]

Josh Okogie is showing why we retained him. Quite a performance. Man, I wish he could hit shots.

Okogie needs to stop trying to draw fouls on those backcourt screens. The refs are not calling it, and it's leading to odd man breaks in the front court.

 

[BirdGangThing]

We can go on runs at any point y'all and we were only down like 18pts and Okogie killing in it the all guard line up

 

[nashman]

Josh Okogie is showing why we retained him. Quite a performance. Man, I wish he could hit shots.

If he could shoot good he would be making 10mil more a year lol!

Anyone still say JO is unplayable! His defense on Doncic is the reason for the turnaround so far. Trust the coaches they know what they do. And his hustle in the paint on offense.

 

[Mainstreet]

Some halftime stats.

[Suns_fan69]

Okogie makes more sense when they play KD at the 5, as it's one more shooter they have to account for on the outside. With Nurk or Drewbanks and Okogie together, the spacing is a lot tougher.

 

[nashman]

Book with a quite 16 and just staying calm. KD after back to back 40 burgers is slow starting big time! Bet he comes out early and warms up so he can find his shot he never loses it long. Expect a big second half from KD! Can’t allow them to more than double us up in three pointers or it will end in a bad night!

 

[clyde2tw]

But the refs are really trying to give it to the Mavs. Nonsense off. calls on Beal and Eubanks and on the other side, not even calling the kicking ball by Lively.

 

[BirdGangThing]

Wow we have many more offensive rebounds than them

 

[BirdGangThing]

Whatever Eubanks had the other night - I hope he didn't leave it in Phx
