dudley is so out of shape... emblematic of the current suns

[raybies]

memphis about to retire OKC tonight

[SAGirl]

I'm not sure Joff is better than Ayres was. I mean, Jeff missed dunks, but at least he didn't try to do more than he could all the time.

He's been so bad that ever since Ayres I don't remember any other big that bad in the Spurs.

[SAGirl]

nice pass on the pnr by Dijon

[SAGirl]

I'd like to see more from Dijon

[Chinook]

Just go for the score, Derrick. It's clear that your finishing is farther along than your play-making.

[SAGirl]

White has a good touch near the basket. better than Dijon's high floaters with a twisted waist...

[Robz4000]

That shot by Murray was

[BatManu20]

Dejounte needs to do something besides brick 5-ft floaters, tbh. Needs to take advantage of opportunities like this.

I feel like Dudley has always been kind of out of shape (which is relative, obviously, to say about an NBA athlete).

Shades of Boris...could be a serious asset, but only if you are willing to put in the work (diet, gym, etc.)

Seeing Diaw with Charlotte and Utah in those seasons...dude definitely lost his fire. Glad he found it for a while when he was with S.A., but not surprised they let him go when they did.

Just out of curiousity what do yall see bad about Joff. He's been playing solid imo. A guy doesn't have to make every basket to be good. He's doing really well in the PnR, active on the glass. He's an energy big. I just don't know what y'all are seeing. He's not a star. His short hooks are good shots. He made those to start the season. He's got a splint on his hand... Maybe I got beer goggles on but I like what he brings to the team.

Forbes FT 47% ?????

Some people seem to expect us to have 12 All-Stars to be ready for the floor at any given time.

Joff brings that Lee energy. He is not going to put up 20-10 or anything, but he mixes it up inside for valuable minutes.

Lee would have been the better option, but it sounds like he was done with the game.

Nice shot by Brynnn...
but this suns team is so awful. can't take much away from this terrible rim protection

I think there's some overreacting of course. we have also seen how big guys take longer to figure out our system.

The issue I've seen with him is his inability to convert on easy shots around the rim, something Lee was money on last year (not that he should produce like Lee did, but he gets similar opportunities) I think he's physical and does a decent job boxing out guys, seems like a strong dude and makes hustle plays.

I think he needs to work on his finishing ability, and continue to familiarize himself with the system

[Ron Swanson]

Dijon padding that rebound stat.

[Dex]

Forbes FT 47% ?????

Seems to be more comfortable with a jumpshot than a standing one. For such a confident shooter from deep, he fades on his free throws.

[Robz4000]

Holy that sequence.

Suns

[SAGirl]

Dijon had like 5 offensive rebounds in one sequence not a single one was blocked.
suns

[GB20]

I liked that from Murray.

[LakerHater]

WOW!!!
LOVE how Murray crashes the boards!!!

[Mikeanaro]

Damn, Murray needed 4 attempts to get it done.

[BatManu20]

Lol Suns are so awful. Spurs better not fart around and lose this one tbh.

[spurs10]

That Suns team are rebounding kings! How many boards will Murray be awarded?

Yeah, in preseason he was converting at a high clip. So i see the finishing thing. I guess he gets tight during the season.
