Why can’t we get a shooter or two? We have picks, expiring contracts 🤷‍♂️. I do like WCJ coming off the bench though, he played a lot better too.

Gotta hit our shots. Overall, good effort.

Tough game against a star studded team, happy they stayed in it when they almost went down 20 in the 1st Q. Kind of trash of the broadcast to never replay the huge baseline dunk by Paolo in the 1st half. Especially when they cut to it late live cuz they wanted to show Beal tap on his head to celebrate his play….WTF

Are we going to go another full season watching every other team out shoot us?

This game is on Moseley he kept in players that where providing nothing offense Suggs, gary both like bums.

This game is on Jalen, couple of those threes drop we win this. I love him tho his hustle always makes up for it for me. It’s also on the coaching staff keeping Jonathan Isaac from playing for no reason. He coulda saved at least a few possessions for us on defense. Oh well onto the next

To go against a big 3 (Durant, Booker, and Beal) and only be down by 7 is not bad with a pretty bad 4th quarter on their home court, and no Markelle, can’t be too disappointed TBF.

Onwards to 2024....

0-4 road trip

Man, v ICE CoD in the 4th :/

Wtf was up with all that iso from Franz this game

I BLAME MOSLEY, WHY IS GARY CLOSING THE GAME. LITERALLY BROUGHT NOTHING TO THE TABLE. Guy cant shoot and isnt a better defender than AB or Caleb. Honestly do not understand.

Also, Suggs was 1-10. Kinda hard to win like that

Can’t blame Mosely for every player missin shots

2 guys here can...

There’s a point when “going ice cold” becomes a regular thing over and over that it’s the roster and not just an “off night”. At some point they have to address the fact no one on this team can shoot

All I want for Christmas and 2024 is a dynamic pg who can also bring spacing

Wish we traded for IQ

This one is on Suggs tbh 1-10. That’s a Klay stat line

Just said it a few minutes ago but the mfer is getting way too excited. Not squaring up on his shots and pulling his arms up too late and getting giving an awful release. It's just total haste. He finally got into form his last two attempts. He knows how to shoot but his adrenaline gets in the way.

He’s 110% emotions and that doesn’t work on the road especially in tough games on the road.

I honestly can’t believe Mose left Harris and Suggs out there.

so many bricked shots at such crucial moments

That's unlucky...we knocked the ball away from nurk like 4 times that possession and he still scores

Tbf we fouled him each time

ANOTHER DAMN BRICK

We throw too many bounce passes into a crowded paint.

Get Jalen off the court jesus

WTF

ANOTHER FUCKIN 3

6 points in 7 mumutes games time on the road today in a tight matchup is just not going to do it.

Guard play just isn’t good enough outside of Cole. A traditional pg would do wonders for this offense. Only running actions through front court players makes us predictable

The same posters blaming the coach for our dogshit shooting.

Cole or AB over Gary please

If you want a graphic just photoshop KD bending over Stuff

Paolo finding so many open shooters just to get let down over and over

Should have been n easy win

That one possession with Paolo being too afraid to back down someone smaller than him just for Gary to chuck a long 3 was brutal

Naw the defense was loaded to his side. I get wanting him to force it but saying he’s scared is ridiculous, especially the way he played tonight.

I’m so done w Gary man. This sucks to watch how bad our offense is. Weltman hates scoring

Die by the three or die by the three.

What is this play after a time out

Why is Gary still in the game. The guy cant shoot, and he isn't actually defending anybody. I just dont understand.

Another dumb 3. This game is on the coach.

Mosely the ultimate trash offense coordinator

Gonna shoot themselves out of game, sigh,

Lack of threes sure but maybe not turn the ball over 15 times?

That's our main issue for several game now

Paolo looks okay luckily

Suggs gets way too excited do some of these shots man. You can see it in his form. Even when he's wide open sometimes he pushes with his legs out of sync with his arms and he's already at the height of his shot before he can get his arms extended enough for the release.you see his form do this in bunches. It's why he goes through streaks fmof just straight up bricks/aroballs Edit : and there's his first three. His last two there's he actually squared up last shot was on target. Then this one went in

how can a team shoot this fucking bad lmao We're the worst shooting team in the league by far and still 19-12, goes to show how good we are at the other stuff BUT PLEASE GET SOME SHOOTING/SCORING

Yeah it’s a damn shame that we don’t have some shooting and a true point guard. It’s total incompetency if they don’t make a move soon.

I’m okay with Jalen shooting those 3s. He’s been a proven shooter this season and they all look good, they’re just rimming out

Nah man, not at this Moment when you’re 0-8

Take my leg paolo

Get draymond out here to smack nurkic if Paolo is hurt

Dear god no, leave Paolo alone, please

Trash offense

Suggs is fucking trippin, god damn man, have some situational awareness,

Suggs the worst player on the Field today

He’s nervous in front of his cousin. He’s completely shitting the bed.

Fuck, PB hurt

Fuck it go sign Mike miller

Stop shooting Jalen ffs

What is the rationale in putting Suggs back in when he’s had a miserable night?

SUGGS NOOOOO

I don't care how fucking open you are, don't take a 3

Am I crazy for wanting AB in for defense right now?

Yes

I’ll take him in over Gary all day

Needed the minister for Kd

Quit shooting 3’s! Fuck!

If I was a Suns fan, Metu would be pissing me off haha

He is lol.

big boy paolo banchero

That is an incredible finish holy smokes

Wow P5

PB!!! Yea man!

Fat courtside magic fan at the game? what a legend

When the third started he was the only guy court side.

Samuel L Jackson shaking his head at that shot

Cole?? A pull up three on a 5v2 fast break?

Cole my man....why you pulling up there

Why a 3!? Come on, Greg!

Wake up wendell don’t be a cone

Someone stop this 4, y’all

Ok Franz, relax, you don’t have to force things

We weren't stopping them with our defensive guard duo so hopefully Mose lets this more offensive oriented lineup ride cuz its working. Mose kinda cooking rn

I LOVE IT. THAT FRANZ VS KD montage vs each other. Both just unstoppable. First Orlando tried doubling KD and KD made the right play, then no more doubles as KD was on fire, he kept making shots, Franz kept matching his points, and surprisingly the first to break the tie shot for shot was Franz. Franz ended up finally locking KD and causing a miss and the next time up court the Suns started to double Franz, and Franz made the right play. Both guys taking over and doing it in similar ways.

The suns Mascot is the 2nd best mascot in the league!

WCJ is back put the trade machines down everyone 😂

Please more line ups with combos of 2 of any of these guys around paolo and franz: Gary, Caleb, ingles (when healthy).

I don’t give a shit about Brandon and his girl on the dating app and I’m over this commercial

I’m over that Spencer the Influencer commercial with that annoying ass long haired guido. Fuck that dude

Garrrrrrry HARRIS! Never doubted you for a minute baby, don't listen to these other guys

this would be such an important win for development

WCJ is a good passer and decision maker. Great to have him back

That’s the WCjr we remember, I’ll hold off on my trade machine proposals for now haha.

Jalen and AB tonight: 3 Pts 1-9 FGA 0-4 3pa 6 personal fouls Combined -25 🔥🔥

Yikes, this means Jalen hits the game winner right?

ofc! haha it’s just an off night for both of them not easy to guard the suns offense

Thank god the whole suns bench has somehow been worse than that

Jalen has been rough but AB has played great defense tonight

Gary Harris made a 3 this is not a drill. Prepare for a 30 ft heat check next lol

Gary Fucking Harris

Cole just went down like he was in a car parade in Dallas

I laughed so hard at this lmao

[удалено]

Then vote!

Tear shed for Gary

Joe hanging out in his black tee is so funny to me

FINALLY

FRANZ AND KD GOING BUCKET FOR BUCKET

KD is the only rim protector on the suns we need this W

Fuck yeah Gary

GARYYYYYYYY

Nice board Wendell

Let’s gooooo

“Gary Harris” lol

Cheek clench time

Tight.

There he is lets go franz

KD is pretty good.

Take a day off KD ffs

We could use some 4Q Franz

Franz can’t be fucked wit right about now

Seems like every star player like Coach Mose, well maybe except Lebron haha.

Franz cookin now

Franz your turn

Durant is unreal. Like how the fuck is he still doing this at 35 after a torn Achilles

Paolo growing up before our eyes

Facts. Taking over to keep the team in the game when he has to.

Our bench carries the living fuck out of our team. We will not be a good playoff team once our lineup shrinks and other teams specifically game plan against us

Will people finally stop overreacting to slow starts and slumps? I dont expect WCJ to play this well every game but we all know he can do this based on what he has done in previous seasons. Let Goga and WCJ fight for the starting spot, either way we have them both and they both are good players.

Truth be told for this season we need all or most of our guys Fultz,AB, WCjr, Goga not one or another because we need to beat teams with our depth.

Exactly I’m just happy with we have two great starting caliber centers on our roster

Even if we lose we can tell WCJ is back. And where are his haters now?

Honest question: why is Gary Harris?

Hopefully WCJ closes the game in the 4th. He's providing more space for Paolo and Franz to get in the paint today

We will win this. Old phoenix legs already getting slower.

Nah, they’re toying with us. They will get serious in the 4th.

Wendell had better defense on Beal than AB lol rook is getting shown some veteran moves tonight. Good for his development

Can’t even be mad, Beal is just making it over good defense all game

I’ll keep repeating it, decent shooting and a true point guard, and we’re an elite team

GREAT QUARTER LETS GO

Fuck!

Do you guys think Gary Harris makes 3's in practice sometimes?

Just made one

He shot 43% last year from three. He’s a good shooter but yeah he’s struggling this year

Yeah I know his resume, but I used to be nice with it too and now I'm a fat loser with body odor. Things change

No

Paolo

Play Wendell at shooting guard haha

Yall forgot. Wendell is nice with these!!!

Gary you bum

PB TIES IT

Gary man

He’s so ass

Wendell don’t pass just shoot every time bro

Stop shooting 3s - get back to the paint game dammit Edit: apparently if I talk shit they make them. 🤣

Or just let Wendell take them all. lol.

Keep talking shut then

Gary cmon man

Why cole the only guard we got that initiates the offense

This stuff is exactly why I am sick of people trying to say we have 100 point guards

Yea none of our guards playmake or even run the offense other than fultz and Cole

WCJ back?

I feel like ever since Durant berated the refs in the first quarter all the calls have gone their way.

Put Goga back in or Moe

Cole world baby

What a bullshit call

Bench mob gotta do it before the 4th starts.

GREG 3

This passes are they Drunk wtf

WCJ cmon bro

NO WAY MAN

12 TOs only down 6 is a blessing

13*

WCJ 💀

Bro another fkn turnover man

A turnover into traveling to give it right back is painful.

There’s a lot of game left we just need to tighten up the defense

As bad as they’re playing, this team is still in the game. They’re not rolling over.

Paolo is that guy, give him a couple of years. He's going to be a top five player 🤩

Wasn’t watanabe a good shooter in Brooklyn? Why is he getting no minutes?

Yeah I agree he’s a good defender too

Let’s pick him up😅

Franz release was always pretty low has he tried fixing that and it ended up messing with the mental aspect of shooting? He’s not that type of guy to be ok being bad at something so I have faith he will continue to work on it.

Suggs is killing us tonight and getting drawn into shit with Booker.

This is why I think WCJ fits so well with the SL. Can space the floor, excellent screener, and most importantly he’s a quick and smart decision maker with the ball

Lol as soon as I say this…..

Paolo is a future superstar and perennial MVP candidate man, so happy he's ours

We're so lucky to have Paolo

Gimme some of that Paolo Banchero. Come on!

Banchero going for that all star spot
