I'll definitely run it back. SportsCenter should be interesting.DroughtsOverPHX wrote:SkyBill40 wrote:Guess I missed a decent comeback. Oh well. I had other things to do and this is but one of 82 regular season games.

Better than decent. You will want to watch what you missed. KD was our center and we stunned the F outta Sac.

Damn, I also tuned out when it was 104-87, and reading the play by play I see we were down 109-97 and still down 18 at the 5:30 mark before Beal dunked it.
Crazy they hit so many 3s down the stretch. I'll definitely have to go back and watch that run. I rarely ever tune out of a game because I know in basketball you can make runs and crazy comebacks, but we've been so bad in 4th quarters and Allen was the only one hitting from 3, so I figured it wasn't our night.
Huge comeback win. Hopefully it gives us a spark going forward. Only 1 game back of them now.

Crazy comeback, nice to be on the other end of a ridiculous 4th quarter choke job

Was this a statement win? Absolutely not. On par with one of the worst games we've offered all season. But the last 5 minutes of that 4th.... The win against Portland isn't the type of game that can turn a season around. This comeback win? THAT can turn a season around.
Now....let's not crap the bed against the Pels and make this for nothing.

Not the only one.
I'm not ashamed to admit I did too. I wouldn't be surprised if many fans even left the arena.
The first 3+ quarters were awful. They showed us no reason we should stay tuned in.
The final 5 minutes were something we haven't seen from this team for 38½ games.

I didn't realize this was Bright Side night too. The team almost embarrassed themselves in front of the fans that got to go

Holy crap we won? I had turned it off as well.
Definitely will need to rewatch the game. Hell of a comeback.

When healthy, the Pels are a handful. We don’t match up with them very well. And they are chippy with us. Low expectations here…as was tonight
Really, these guys need to run run run
Always thought this would have been a good opening jam in the SSOL era
What ? Me Worry ?

I was so close to turning the game off a few minutes into the 4th.

Considering literally every other 4th quarter of the season, I'll forgive the first 3 quarters of this one.

That's the kind of 4th quarter that lifts a curse.

You didn’t scroll all the way down Bill. I know you’ve been a fan longer than me.
Can’t even admit you were wrong and brushed this comment off like usual. People can’t scroll down to take lighthearted jokes it seems.

Just a thought, is this performance enough for Vogel to abandon his default gameplan of slow it down defense first basketball. Our personnel are Ill suited to that style of play and I think our results to date illustrate that quite clearly. It worked for his Pacers and Lakers because they defended and rebounded at an elite level. Our defense simply isn't good enough to win that way against the better teams in the NBA.
Might be time to play to our strengths and let our opponents try to match up with us, rather than trying to hammer a square peg into a round hole.

Suns traded Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder and 4 1st round picks and a swap so some Vegas Bookies would like us.

We're 40 games in, and it feels like we're still in preseason mode out there. I hope we can develop some semblance of cohesion by the All-Star Break.
