Suns @ Raptors Wednesday game thread, 11-29-2023

[Chaplin]

Forgot to play defense.

 

[Mainstreet]

Poeltl (4-4) is feasting inside with easy baskets.

 

[BirdGangThing]

Forgot to play defense.

And offense

 

[Mainstreet]

They had a stat on the pregame show, that Booker has scored either 30 or 35 against every team in the NBA except the Raptors.

It's looking like he has no intention of doing so tonight unless he gets hot.

He didn't play against them last season, if I heard correctly.

 

[Hoop Head]

I'm debating myself whether Jusuf Nurkic is more athletic than Frank Kaminsky. It doesn't look like it tonight.

That question inspired me to see where Frank was. He's in the EuroLeague right now playing for Partizan, a Serbian club. Hope he does well. Wouldn't mind seeing him back, I'd help Bol Bol pack.

We think alike on this one. I wouldn't mind having Frank back.

 

[AzCardsfan76]

Up until the last couple of plays the Suns have looked sluggish tonight.

 

[BirdGangThing]

FLEX ON EM BIG NURK!!!

 

[BirdGangThing]

Yuta waaaaaaayyyy off

 

[Mainstreet]

Devin Booker is really having an off game in the 1st half.

 

[Yuma]

They got arm of Booker.

 

[BirdGangThing]

Book just CP3'd the hell outta that dude lol - Toronto challenges

 

[Chaplin]

They got arm of Booker.

And yet we have no idea how the refs will rule.

 

[Mainstreet]

Halftime:

Raptors 60 - Suns 53

 

[Mainstreet]

Some halftime stats.

[Chaplin]

Suns have been awful but only down 7. I’m not worried yet.

 

[Yuma]

Lucky we aren't down double digits at the half.

 

[clyde2tw]

Can't understand how coach sticks to Yuta despite apparent loss of shooting touch in this game. He got abused on D as always. Metu, KBD in his place much better.

Defenders arm clearly over Book's cylinder

 

[Proximo]

my favorite play of that half was nurk throwing that dude out of the way dunking and flexing.

that had me LOL

I tend to agree he has worst +- of any of our rotation. He is frantic on defense

 

[Yuma]

UGH OH!

 

[Mainstreet]

Booker limps off the court.

 

[Mainstreet]

Timeout with the Suns trailing 62-58. Looked like Booker came down on a foot.

 

[Chaplin]

Book’s done.
