If we win we have a good shot since Dallas plays Memphis, who is very hot. If Dallas beats Memphis though and it comes down to tiebreaker, we have a ways to catch Dallas in pt differential. We are +19 but they are +41. So if they barely beat Memphis we'd need to win by 25+.

Let's hope Slenderman doesn't have a career night against us.

We told Oso before the game and told him "We have to play Wemby tonight, so it's your night. Show him who you are. Impose your will."

I hope Wemby tries to shoot 3s with 90% of his shots for his whole career.

Unbelievable this guy is 7'4 and he shoots so many 3s. 5 of his 6 attempts.

He's shot more 3s than 2s this year. Now he does shoot 35% (before tonight), which is so so for a player...like borderline where you want them even shooting 3s, and it equates to like a 52% FG% for 2s....however, if you are a big, a 52% FG% for 2s is bad.

From 2, he's over 62%.

Plumlee brings lot of good energy. He doesn’t move like a 34 yr old at all.

I wonder if they’re just worried that he’ll get injured due to his thin frame if he goes and bangs in the paint. I think they want to develop him as a shooter his first 2-3 years then once he adds weight, they’ll probably use him more closer to the rim on offense.

The officiating is awful tonight. Clearly on offensive foul by SA and yet somehow we get called for it instead?

I’d say we’re catching too many breaks.

Beal gambles so much on defense and commits dumbass fouls because of it. Just stay in front of your fcking guy idiot.

It’s how we lost that game to the Warriors last season when he gambled for a steal on Steph freaking Curry too.

Return to Phoenix Suns
