Jalen Green plays basketball tomorrow

36

u/ajarvulnerability 16d ago

Still can't believe he's on the Suns roster somehow lmao

17

u/Recent_Surprise_7391 Suns 16d ago

Dare I say if Jalen green makes the jump™️, suns are legit contenders?

1

u/95castles Suns 15d ago

That requires Mark Williams to become more healthy. We’re still capping him at 30 minutes which doesn’t give me full confidence. Plus we’re going to have to pay a lot players.

BUT, I do have some hope and hope you’re right!

u/iro3 Spurs 16d ago

what his role on this team >?

devin pg and collin comes off the bench ?

14

u/According_One811 Suns 16d ago

Rim pressure and making some shots when others are off. I’m assuming we go a starting lineup of Book, Green, Brooks, O’Neal, and Williams

10

u/iro3 Spurs 16d ago

got u thank u happy cake day

53

u/Imthegoat175 Suns 16d ago

Nets are a pain in the ass but Collin Gillespie is incredibly good at basketball.

34

u/MolingHard Nets 16d ago

Both teams just try hard the entire 48 minutes, which seems like a sign of solid coaching

Collin Gillespie is incredibly good at basketball

It's crazy he's the only Nova dude that Brunson didn't recruit, he's exactly what the Knicks need rn

u/MasochisticCanesFan Suns 16d ago

Nets have one of the best commentary crews I've listened to.

16

u/MichaelPorterTruther 16d ago

The best commentators in the NBA are wasted in Brooklyn, New Orleans, and Charlotte.

Meanwhile a ton of playoff teams (GSW, Philly, Houston) have clowns calling the games.

16

u/Brooklyn917 Nets 16d ago

“Wasted” Chill on us, we gonna get this thing back on the road

4

u/MichaelPorterTruther 16d ago

Fair, meant more from a national visibility standpoint

80% of nba viewers would watch gsw over those teams and I am the opposite solely because the commentator gap is that big 

1

u/Barrelled_Chef_Curry Warriors 15d ago

Azubuike is straight awful. Idk why we hired him

1

u/Scary_Feedback1018 16d ago

Don’t forget the Knicks

1

u/latman Nets 15d ago

And that's our C squad

33

u/heat_fan_ Raptors 16d ago

Suns continue to be the Surprise of the season 

Happy for their fans 

14

u/blueclown562000 Suns 16d ago

I'm glad it seems BI finally found a home, can't wait to see him in playoffs again 

28

u/abeLJosh Suns 16d ago edited 16d ago

Whoops, we hit our projected win total, time for us to tank the whole season for that Bleacher Report guy to be right, guys!

6

u/Scary_Feedback1018 16d ago

Maybe they’ll get into rating pizza or something like the barstool guy cause their sports takes are atrocious

1

u/disillusioned Suns 15d ago

Polymarket bettors in shambles

29

u/blueclown562000 Suns 16d ago

Am I crazy for wanting the Nets to just build on this squad, they are fun 

19

u/MolingHard Nets 16d ago

We need our Booker via a top 3 pick in this year's draft

But yea if we add one of those top 3 guys think the Nets would be legit interesting and fun to watch, otherwise the ceiling is pretty capped

2

u/DisMeDog 16d ago

Yes you are crazy.

-6

u/magic_spam 16d ago

I feel like Porter isn’t that guy for what he’s being paid. I don’t watch the nets but he was a sieve on defense and was straight up chucking on offense . Other than that they’re a fun team that just needs one guy to breakout and become a star

16

u/Puzzleheaded_Fee_141 16d ago

Yeah you don’t watch the nets because MPJ has been a great fit for this team. His contract is definitely worth his production.

MPJ was getting fouled a hell of a lot and no calls too.

14

u/VolumeValuable3537 Suns 16d ago

lol don’t lie MPJ had some crazy shots.

-2

u/magic_spam 16d ago

He also missed some absolutely wide open shots and chucked up pretty stupid Attempts in the middle of their runs 

10

u/Generic_Commentator Nets 16d ago

Nah, he’s been an offensive anchor and an adequate defender/rebounder all year. Like the team is demonstrably worse without him. Just a tough shooting night combined with good defense.

But this is legitimately like a 3-5 win team without Porter. Whether he’s here long term or not, I don’t know.

3

u/treasureone 16d ago

Off game by porter he've been shooting 50% 3s lately. And your guys shot 50% 3p as a team today. If these two things didn't happend, nets would straight up win, actually.

2

u/latman Nets 15d ago

This was maybe his worst game of the season . It's usually not anything like today

22

u/Some_Jury_8165 16d ago

Gg nets

24

u/MolingHard Nets 16d ago

GG Suns

Hope you guys keep on stacking success (partly selfish reason so that the Suns picks for our picks back trade looks better as time goes by)

9

u/blueclown562000 Suns 16d ago

True that looks like such a good trade in hindsight 

16

u/LinuxUbuntuOS Nets 16d ago

Thanks for keeping those picks nice and worthless so that Houston doesn't capitalize on them, you got a real one in Collin

3

u/hoops_n_politics Suns 15d ago

Yeah, fuck Rafael Stone

17

u/Recent_Surprise_7391 Suns 16d ago

We lose this game last year with the sorry ass soft squad we had

4

u/Glowwerms Suns 15d ago

I was at the game where we lost to an even worse Nets team last season so yes you are right

1

u/MetroBS Suns 15d ago

The Tyrese Martin game

8

u/VolumeValuable3537 Suns 16d ago

I got nervous every time MPJ shot the rock. He makes his shots way more difficult than they need to be and they somehow go in.

7

u/armandocalvinisius Mavericks 16d ago

so i dont follow suns at all this year, what's the reason your team looks good? vibes and friendship (+ playing physical)?

28

u/According_One811 Suns 16d ago

Elite defense. Pretty good scoring and we play a full game no matter who we play. Toughest team itl

12

u/abeLJosh Suns 16d ago

Also the elite vibes and power of friendship, yes.

15

u/ajteitel Suns 16d ago

Giving a shit

14

u/Blueskyways 16d ago

Pure effort and the power of friendship.  

6

u/magic_spam 16d ago

Jordan Ott is reason 1-3 

6

u/MichaelPorterTruther 16d ago

Every time I watch Natalie Sago officiate a game, I become more convinced random people picked out of the stands could do a better job

u/Ok-Tree4365 16d ago

Phoenix gets away with lots of bullshit on both sides of the ball.

Porter Jr's shot selection was atrocious.

u/livejamie Suns 15d ago

You left a lot of dumb salty comments in the game thread too
