Opening Night: Game 1: Phoenix Suns @ Golden State Warriors l Tuesday l 7:00pm l TNT

Nurkic looked almost invisible in that 2nd half. Gotta admit though I was only half-paying attention while trying to watch the DBacks. I see that he ended up with 5 fouls. At half I think Nurkic had 10 points 12 rebounds? So he put up that clutch 2 points to end the game from a feed from Booker.

Nurkic was a huge difference maker in the first half, so it would have been nice to see him continue dominate the smaller team.



**Okay I actually just looked up the first half stats. Nurkic had no fouls in the 1st half. Picked up 5 in the 2nd half. FT's at half, Suns with 15 vs 6 from the Warriors. 2nd half Suns got 2 FTs and the Warriors got 22.

Yeah that FT disparity in the 2md half wasnt even am effort by the refs to try to hide the agenda. Suns still won though.

Looks like a running back ran super quickly to set a pick for Booker. I don’t recall seeing a double pick like we saw between Booker and Nurkic in a while to close out the game. Maybe it happens more often, but I can’t pinpoint last time I see it happen.

Yeah that’s the first thing that stood out. He moved very quickly and stood firm on those screens.

Agreed! I updated my post had more to write about it.

Nassir Little with the 11th man cameo hit a clutch 3.

Lakers have alot more size inside so we'll need to find our spot up shooters more.

Okogie was incredible probably added 10 points just through effort.

Only attempted ONE three and it paid dividend. He’s starting to become one of my current favorite Suns players.

[Revived]

Nurkic was fantastic. He makes a ton of small plays that goes unnoticed but is great

Yeah at the end of the game in money time, the screen at half court for Book and then continuing to roll hard all the way to the basket, finishing the play with the layup is not something we got last year from "He Who Must Not Be Named"

It’s funny how it took national media years to see something that was evident to (most) Suns fans maybe 2-3 years into Ayton’s career.

League Pass kicked me out in the 4th quarter, asking me to subscribe. What an absolutely ass app and a third rate viewing experience. Anyone else face the same issue?

That happened to me too. Terrible, I had to watch the final minutes on a YouTube channel just hearing the play-by-play.

How come you didn’t try nba stream to watch the game? It literally takes under a minute to find a stream if you typed “ nbastream” on Google search box.

I see only 18 pts..did he look off or slow?

Everything was short. He even got blocked on a fadeaway. Idk, it's not horrible, they're looks he likes. But it is just a tiny tiiiiny bit concerning because it might be the lift isn't there on the shot or a step slow might be causing him to settle for more fades instead of pull ups

Wouldn't think much of it unless it becomes a theme.

Vogel needs to figure out how to make KD more efficient in this offense.

Dude is out there playing like he’s 24 or 25 and a shooting guard.

He needs to be a screener and get in the post / drive and utilize more fakes, footwork.

He can’t just shoot over everyone and shoot 55% anymore.

He can, if he just takes the open shot instead of trying to dribble into the contested middy for no reason

Yeah, but I was tired and I am used to League Pass. I didn't want to fight against multiple spams and **** lol.

[Kyler Murray]

just watched the game on replay

Nurkic is a btter fit than Ayton no doubt, he can facilitate from the top of the key, rebounds steady, picks awesome, fit like a glove really
No real PG showed up this game, KD took some atrocious shots (although he was prolly fouled 90% of the time), bad game from him
Gordon had a bad shooting night but even then, him at a vets min is a freakin steal
Bench hustle is amazing, we're actually deep
Grayson Allen kinda invisible
MVPs, 1st half book 8 nurk, 2nd half Okogie

No issues with free stream at all.

Yeah, they used to lag but lately the streams work fine. Some people don’t want to go through them which is understandable.

[SunsRback4Good]

Can't wait for Beal to be on this lineup. Sol es so many issues we've seen tonight.

He's the true 1B because KD is just not the same guy anymore. Age is setting in.

What we really need is for somehow Portland to buy out Malcom Brogdon and us swoop in there and sign him.

Would be a nice pickup Slim especially if Beal misses a ton of games and isn’t ready for playoff basketball.

[SunsRback4Good]

This team could use Chris Paul. The lack of playmaking is appalling. Point Book is not something I've been fond of. Personally

I haven't been a believer in that thought process and thought trading Payne to be a mistake for that reason alone.

I was just thinking about Payne too. I think he took a bit too much hate. He had problems and a really bad season but he played hard and had the ability to be really good at times.

So is Phoenix going to be like the Clippers now unable to go deep in the playoffs without a pg? That’s a scary thought at the moment.

[SlovenianDragon]

Undefeated.

Yeah I prefer local TV sport channels too when a game is available like DEN - LAL one.
