You may hate Nurkic tonight but 14 minutes of Plumlee and 12 for rookie Ighodaro is probably not a better alternative long term. Nor is it tonight, it seems.

And if we complain about Tyus sitting in a corner, I'm not sure what we expected with all 3 of Booker/KD/Beal starting.

All things considered though the big 3 has just been terrible so we're losing

Book played such great D in the olympics and at times last year. I don't know how well his defense is but I haven't really noticed him hustling like I always noticed in those times. He even did it in the olympics when he wasn't getting too many shots.

Well this is embarrassing

Could we just have like our PG run something instead of these 2-man game with Nurk and Book/KD

I can't stand Steve Ballmer.

We play like everyone's 35-40

Nobody sprints or jumps

Team of idiots. Nurkic should've had another turnover there. Why the hell are you flying out of bounds to save a long rebound on defense?

It's amazing we got these two great ast/to pgs and they have 0 turnovers in this game but we have 18.

Booker with 6 points. Is this a playoff elimination game?

Greatest Sun ever?

They look like they partied in West Hollywood last night. What a bunch of clowns that showed up.

It's definitely got shades of being one of the least athletic iteration of the Suns.

New year, new coach, same stars who melt down any time they face resistance. Cool.

Is Booker/KD only good in the midrange?

Nurk/KD contributing to more than half of them. Nurk shouldn't be a playmaker, and KD should be limited to 2 dribbles

Book's gotta clean up his crap too

Still not a fan of headband Book.

What rebuild do we do

Post #218 » by **lilfishi22** » Thu Oct 24, 2024 4:21 am

I get last season Nurk was needed for playmaking because we lacked a true playmaker out there but geeez when you have good PG options, why are we still using Nurk as a hub?

SkyBill40 · Post #219 » by **SkyBill40** » Thu Oct 24, 2024 4:21 am

We simply MUST get rid of Nurkic. He is a terrible liability on both ends of the floor. And even as hard as I am on Beal, he's about the only one having a semi-passable game even though it's not been without reason for scrutiny.

Beals been our best tonight but I think if you bench him for Allen then this becomes a non-issue. Same with Tyus sitting in corners.
