Suns @ Spurs Thursday Game Thread, 3-19-2026

[Yuma]

Fleming has been shooting FTs well lately. You have to give guys shots. This will help us later on in the playoffs.

 

[Dback Jon]

That may just lose us the game. That SUCKS.

That and his TO

fleming stays in - i like it

 

[SactownSunsFan]

Gotta feel bad for Flemming. Both FTs toileted out on him.

No one else has played any defense against Wemby except Fleming.

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

wemby is so good

 

[95pro]

Just stupid game management

 

[Phrazbit]

Well, crap

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

suns lose 101-100

 

[mjb21aztd]

Whatever i feel sick

 

[Chaplin]

Did Igor Kokoskov substitute for Jordan Ott in this game. That is TERRIBLE.

 

[RON_IN_OC]

Suns have been running the Rallis defense lately...so many blown 4 qtr leads.

 

[Chaplin]

We had that game. HAD IT.

 

[Dback Jon]

Ott lost that game

 

[mjb21aztd]

Az sports is fin cursrd ((

 

[Yuma]

We had that game. HAD IT.

I disagree. Four games in a row it's basically been the same script. Lead going into the fourth, and then we can't hold on. Maybe Celtics game was different.

 

[Yuma]

Our offense needs to be fixed. Double teams on EVERYONE, not just Book, destroy our offense.

 

[SactownSunsFan]

On the bright side, we're missing 3 starters and pushed a championship hopeful team to a last possession for the win.

 

[95pro]

Goodwin left us in a hole. He passed it up, wide open. Then downhill from there

book has bad nights - jalen has bad nights - gillespie has bad nights - i think ott had a bad night tonight - the spurs were going to foul - put your best 4 free throw shooters on the floor - right?

this one stings more than them all - all 3 road losses combined - pretty much sealed our 7th seed fate

i love jordan ott and i love rasheer fleming but they're both rookies - it's not like we're in danger of losing our 7th seed lol this is how fleming gets better - he's a rookie who wasn't even playing a month ago - and they weren't air balls but just enough anxiety to make a nervous difference

im hoping the lockeroom is showing fleming nothing but love - and i imagine ott is feeling it too

You can't yell we don't develop guys (I mean in general, not you specifically), and then complain when they have growing pains. Fleming is on an upward curve. They need to affirm to him he's OK. They need to have this guy develop for us to become a better team.

 

[SactownSunsFan]

Oso needs to develop his offensive shot repertoire beyond dunks, put backs and push shots though. A mid-range jumper would open up so much for him.

 

[clyde2tw]

In hindsight Ott shouldn't have let Fleming in for the last Suns possesion just as he left out Oso, for bad FT shooting. Either Bouyea or Coffey woulda been better. Fox carried them in the 4th after repeatedly schooling Fleming, even though one shot got blocked. It's good lesson but cost us the game. We defended Wemby as well as anybody. We got a chance thanks to CG and Green's hot shooting in the 1st half, and Spurs inability to crack our D when Wemby was out resting. If we met in the POs, we'd still have a chance when more than one guy could shoot well.

 

[nashman]

Just a brutal loss after having the lead much of the game even missing 6 guys! It shows how good we are to even hang with the hottest team in the league missing a bunch of guys but damn still brutal to lose games at the end like this! We need to get healthy quick oofff…

Agreed. Ironically, he had one of his better offensive games. That bump off Wemby and push shot was awesome. But in general, YES!
