Russ has to be leading the league in missed dunks & layups. Someone mind pulling those numbers up?

You faced both teams when they were depleted with injuries

Lakers are so reckless with the ball.

Is it customary now to flock to the GB to congratulate the opposing team after every game now or something? Must have missed that this year, and I think I would have noticed with 41 victories under the Suns' belt.

Anyway, congrats- the Hawks are obviously a contender to come out of the East and their start of the season was clearly not representative of the strength of this team. As a Suns fan, I can't really get too worked up about one loss after just winning 11 straight and still holding a tight grip on the best record in the league - can't go 82-0. I'm pretty sure other Suns fans feel that way as well, hence their inactivity in this game thread.

Bradley looks terrible. Shouldn’t be out there.

When the F is Nunn ever gonna be ready?

Good **** Hawks. Great opportunity for the Dubs to steal a game in the standings here.

depleted? lol. Lowry was missing for the Heat. Raps have dealt with injuries and COVID all year like most teams, and theyve played Chicago tough all 3 games (even when it was the Raps 'depleted' with injuries)

Sorry, someone from the Raptors board said I didn't give the Raptors their dap after their win in the daily game thread and I was like "is that a thing I've missed for people to do that ?" so it was a tongue in cheek remark. It was a fun game, you guys have a great squad with a great coach.

Truly bizarre that Monk does a better job of running the two man game with AD than Russ.

Comparing the Bulls injuries to what most teams have faced is understating it. Bulls went through covid madness and then also got hit with debilitating injuries. Their entire defense is out right now. They are a shell of what they were, and will probably fall to a play-in spot. Losing Lonzo/Caruso/Williams/DJJ at the same time will do that.

In the Raps first 2 games vs the Bulls, they were missing their best or 2nd best player, lol. It is what it is. All ive said is that every time theyve stepped on the court with the Bulls, theyve matched them pretty well. Same with the Heat, same with the Bucks

Well, he was 23. Players often improve after that age. :lol:
