I'd never imagine this would be one of the most boring Suns teams of all time.They might look good for maybe 2-3 plays in a row, but never q whole qtr, and damn sure never a whole game.Guess we just need to have patients.It's easy to be frustrated right now.

Edit: 19- run by the Nets. Fantastic!!

We gonna blow the lead up , we tend to do this every second game , but maybe at least will be close game at the end

Maybe you’re right, but there seems to be no fluidity and consistency to our team. We already played 25% of the season and I’m not seeing any changes in the right direction. As of now I see the Nets winning by 3-5 points.

Suns aren't playing bad, just having a rough night shooting. Hopefully shots start to fall.

It would be ironic if the Nets end up better than the Suns when we gave them all those picks....similar to the Nets giving all their picks to Boston for aging stars and then Boston being a lot better with high picks from the Nets to get their current stars.

Let’s see how the Suns perform when our big 3 parlay together for at least 10-15 games and Allen comes back. But I’m afraid our turnovers will continue and that worries me.

Not much of a choice given Ishbia wanted to go all in on this asinine group and increase the size at all positions. It doesn't make sense to me either, but until the JAN trade moratorium is lifted, we're stuck with it. I don't really see much being available for us as we have nothing to offer but low to mid level scraps.

I didn't think Metu's three would be that "splashy". Been good.

I don't think Yuta is playable right now.

Metu really does have a great looking shot.

From what I gather from Suns fans both Mikal and CamJ was already breaking out on Suns , so was the trade really necessary in order for them to really break out ?

Maybe you’re right but I heard otherwise on this very board

No, it wasn't. They were evolving. Mikal would have worked very well as a 2nd option. I think sometimes he struggles being the first option in Brooklyn even though sometimes he has awesome games. But he's not a true #1 really. He was really the perfect complementary player to Book.

With all due respect Mikal isn’t first option often even on this Brooklyn team , there is nights when CamT is that guy , sometimes Dinwidee, and surprise DFS won us a few games with amazing play on O and D

He's been a pleasant surprise and a much more valuable piece than KBD. The former needs more time; the latter needs far less.

We have to be patient. Were basically in preseason mode with all the injuries we've had to start

Yes, that would be ironic, but the only way nets will be better is if Phoenix continues to have their injury problems that way Nets will definitely exceed, therefore have a better season than us. I really like this Nets team they should be top 6-7 again out in the East.

Dinwiddie and DFS carving us up, brings back memories...

AtheJ415 · Post #96 » by **AtheJ415** » Thu Dec 14, 2023 2:58 am

We have KD on the court and our offense has Goodwin shooting contested turnaround 2s over Mikal

I don't get the opportunity to see as many Nets games as you, but in all those I've seen it would seem that Bridges is the most dominant and the player which draws the most focus from the opponent. That's not to say that either Dinwiddie or Thomas doesn't get their due being the main contributor, but it seems to be a lot more Bridges than anyone else.

And no disrespect taken. We're just talking hoops here as fans.
