For as good as this season has been so far winning 6 of 7 games, this is the least talked about issue imo

KD is averaging a smidge under 40mpg right now

Yeah recipe for injury. I kept saying it last season too and it plays a role in how tired guys once playoffs hit too.

Every time the Suns get a lil momentum, the refs gift the heat a few bailout calls.

Intensity picked up after being down 15

Nurkic is back in form

We already beat Philly and Portland

Barely though. We need a stomp.

This isn't the old days where you have a half dozen teams that either just suck and actively tanking. There just aren't many teams laying down with the mindset of just taking a beating. Incentive isn't there to suck anymore.

We've taken care of business so far, that's the important thing

Wish we could chuck Dunn on Herro just to mess up his rhythm.

Credit where credit's due, Nurk has been HUGE for us this game

Officials actively trying to turn the game at this point.

This feels like a Heat home game for the refs

Nurk is back to being untradable. Can’t afford to lose this guy to any trades out there.

Damn Booker come on man, you could’ve put this game away.

Once again, the Suns absolutely REFUSE to cover the spread.

We struggling against weak teams... But 7-1'll do.

Crazy ending, but I'll take it. Onto the next one, fellas.

Honestly, these 4th quarter are giving me 2021/2022 Suns vibes. Straight locking ish down and executing

Maze · Post #56 » by **Maze** » Thu Nov 7, 2024 4:29 am

KD all over the last two W's.

Mulhollanddrive · Post #57 » by **Mulhollanddrive** » Thu Nov 7, 2024 4:29 am

Intensity picked up both ends = win

Revived · Post #58 » by **Revived** » Thu Nov 7, 2024 4:30 am

Didn’t think they can pull it out but definitely a clutch win.

Any win against a Spoelstra team is just tough as hell.

Nurkic definitely gets game ball. Guy was incredible. And KD, as usual, with clutch baskets at the end of the 4th qtr. I don’t think I’ll see another player with his shot making ability at his size in my lifetime. Just crazy to watch.

huge win in the clutch by Denver in OKC

Miami is hardly a weak team though, they’ll be a playoff team come spring time even if they’re off to a slow start. And their fully healthy with one of the best coaches in the league.
