this is underrated. Man when your top guys want the smoke and want to play in these moments its good. Bari, Sengun, Green, and KPJ are not afraid of the lights or the smoke. They just need to be coached correctly. the mentality is there. I really think these dudes would respond to a bully, no-nonsense coach. (maybe not KPJ) but the other guys would def respond to an ******* coach that expect a lot from them.
Phx is missing two starters, Ayton had a terrible game and besides him, Bridges and Booker, Phx is full of scrubs and Goblins: Shamet, Payne, that linebacker, Bismak, Saric, etc. Let's not get carried away after we stole one game.
Thats a dumb comparison but ok... OKC was the youngest team in the league last yr & had a better record than us (not that it matters), this yr they're the youngest team in the league again at 22.4 avg age & again are better than us in almost every metric... Silas is not built for a head coaching gig, dude's an assistant & if you cant see that by now then wowzers
Did Booker play and was he the best player on the court? Payne had 20pts 12asts................that probably is what Paul would have done, so they missed nothing. You can only play who you face Sick of some fans trying to talk down every win we get. Don't cry when we lose if you can't enjoy the wins
Not winning the game is on the suns, they couldn't execute anything on the fourth but that doesn't take away the positives.
Just have KPJ and Fernando come off bench and let them play PnR to their hearts delight with 2nd unit. But start Green-Sengun-KJ-Tari-Bari for tittie's sake.
I am responding to the jump to conclusion that after barely beating the Suns we have turned a corner and can contend for a play-in spot. Got to see some consistency. A one game sample doesn't change anything especially after getting murdered by the Nuggets the game beforehand.
Glad we got a win on the road against a good team. We were hungrier, scrappier, and we deserved the win. jabari is really coming along. And Jalen showed maturity by adjusting his game; going to the rim more in the 3rd quarter when his shot wasn’t falling. Nix had his best game of the season (for whatever that’s worth) and Tari continues to make the most of his limited minutes. KPJ had another uneven game; im tired of the turnovers and ball stoppage when he’s running the floor, but he did some nice things when Bruno was on the floor. I don’t know how you only play Sengun 23 minutes after he was clearly our best player in the 1st half. Gordon didn’t have his shot going cause his legs are gone (we better trade him before he gets hurt). KJ Martin just hasn’t looked good the last couple of games, but Silas giving him only 18 minutes is pretty screwy. I will give Silas props for his timeout timing tonight.
avg age is not how you rate a teams age. It is how many years in the NBA a player has been. Look at Tate, three years in and he is already 27 Monty Williams isn't a great coach, but because he has some winning seasons with a good roster, people think he is amazing. Also i will say this again. We have had the hardest schedule in the NBA as far as games against the best teams. Silas is still learning, just like the players are. Heck we have four players in our starting five 22 years or younger. two of them in their second year and one in their first year. You must be expecting a championship
KPJ was just inefficient as always. Goes up or down a little bit depending on how much luck he has in making the tough shots or gets bailed out on a bad 3 by a foul. The recipe for him is simple, keep the shots down, move the ball, stick to the pnr game. The more dribble he makes, the more shot he takes, the worse he is.
I’ll get carried away with every Win we can get! They don’t come easy for this squad and any W is a positive when Sil@ss is your HC.
I have no argument there, good quarter, but the idea that he was efficient this game is silly. Still we won and Im happy about that.
Fer We have won 4 of our last 8 games. this improvement is not just one game. I'm not counting on us to be Playoff contenders, but we should beat last seasons win total
