Suns @ Pistons Saturday game thread 1-18-2025

That is half the problem the bigs we have don’t play BIG! Richards in just first game not even ingrained in the team yet looks like an automatic upgrade instantly! Shows how pathetic our bigs are!

 

[Yuma]

One thing, Richards not the biggest center. As a plus, Oso could learn how to play center directly from Richards.

this is watchable basketball - we're not where near where we need to be but i can watch this ish-bia

11 boards for richards (who didn't start) his career high is 14

book is back

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns and Booker both needed that shot to go down.

11 boards for richards (who didn't start) his career high is 14

And 21 points when is the last time a suns center had over 20 points hahahaha

 

[Yuma]

I think we all mostly just want a guy to bring effort to the Center position like Richards is doing. I appreciate his hustle.

 

[Yuma]

Dunn would not let Cade go to his right hand! Great D.

 

[Mainstreet]

Big shot by Durant.

 

[Yuma]

Dunn guarding two guys at once.

 

[Mainstreet]

How can you foul a 3-pointer shooter in that situation?

Didn’t really that’s a BS call!

 

[Yuma]

I agree with EJ. Just let him shoot at that point in the game with a 4 point lead.

 

[Mainstreet]

Didn’t really that’s a BS call!

Booker shouldn't have made it a close call, can't afford it.

 

[Yuma]

Book had that "ball don't lie" smile on the first free throw.

 

[Mainstreet]

Richards was open under the basket waiving his arms.

 

[nashman]

Booker shouldn't have made it a close call, can't afford it.

That was good defense and a terrible call at the end of a game! I like that t he y are playing defense!

 

[Yuma]

Dunn stayed to Cade's right the whole time funneling him left on that last play, a three miss.

 

[Mainstreet]

That was good defense and a terrible call at the end of a game! I like that t he y are playing defense!

Bad things happen when you leave a game in the hands of the referees.

[Mainstreet]

[nashman]

Nice we won the rebound battle against a solid athletic team that’s awesome!

 

[BirdGangThing]

it's not playoff caliber but it's watchable - which is definitely better
