He usually plays pretty well against us, but we seem to usually come out on top. We just need the Rockets to start consistently beating the Suns, and then we can have the **Devin Booker Texas Trifecta**
I think he also dropped his career high (against the Suns, funnily enough) because no one knew he had _that_ kind of offensive game and didn't gameplan around it. He was averaging a respectable 16 PPG to that point, but afterwards the memo got out that Wemby was capable of being a dominant first option if you don't work to keep him away from the basket.
On one hand, still playing for something vs locked into the 1 seed
On the other hand, 9 point lead blown vs 30 point lead blown
In all honesty though, Beal getting injured (from what Iāve heard?) makes this an extra shitty game for them. Feel bad for the guy and imagine it sucks for the Suns to keep losing him after getting him back.
Looked like just a dislocated finger on his off hand. They taped it on the sideline but couldnāt tell if it was for him to be able to go back in since there was only around 2 minutes left.
Oh thatās (relatively) good to hear then. I heard āBealā and āinjuryā and honestly wasnāt sure if I wanted to hear more.
Obviously still frustrating at best but hopefully wonāt be too much of a problem going forward.
And the Spurs are far and away the worst team theyāll play for the rest of the season. Every game for the Suns from here on out are playoff teams. Not playin, 5-seed or better
To be fair, you guys seem to be very unpredictable. Like I wouldnāt have bet against you losing this one but I also wouldnāt bet against you going on a run from here on regardless of opponent.
I understand the philosophy behind it, get a third star player (even though Beal is clearly not that same guy anymore and often injured) and make that all in push.
Only problem is that they have literally no ball distributer and basically have 2 shooting guards.
I remember watching a Suns Clippers game and they could do nothing but go ISO, and turned the ball over on like 4 straight plays. Also little to no defense.
They play big minutes with 3 shooting guards because Grayson Allen is pretty much their only good role player. So, they play with 3 guards but none of them can point!
Didn't watch the game, but checking the box score... suns shot 51% from the field and 36% from 3 and the spurs shot 44% and 26%, how the fuck did the suns lose?
You really don't know what will you get from this mf. He will give you 25 pts 10 reb on one night then drop a 0 point bomb the night after. Love this kid.
I think I know exactly who you're referring to. Dude needs to fuck off, no shit a bunch of rookie/second year projects are a bit of an inconsistent mess with no starting pg
I can't stand his fucking smug attitude, too. Yesterday he was talking himself up by saying we'll all come around to his way of thinking eventually. Also claims he knew SGA was going to be a superstar.
I'd rather watch golf than root against this team.
Youāll seem them a lot. Starts with bb, knows a lot of random stats trivia, but absolutely detests Pop and the front office.
Bonus fact: also hates Popās politics, particularly his stance on gun control.
The Suns over under this season was 52.5. They were expected to be at minimum a top 4 seed. Massive disappoint of a season for them and another failed KD big 3
As a Suns fan, Iāve been saying that for months now. Beal has been doing some decent work lately but his paycheck and being considered on KD and Bookās level has been an absolute joke.
Yeah I think the issue isn't that the Suns are underperforming
The issue is that they're simply not all that good to begin with in a stacked West
Teams ahead of them are simply better all around squads
The biggest problem is that the having two guards who need the ball in their hands is not a good recipe for success.
Bookerās defense has been solid, but Beal is a net negative if he isnāt scoring, like I swear Iāll be watching games and barely notice him out there at all.
Every time I watch them, they remind me so much of the Warriors this year, but with a better record.
You got the nail on the head. When Book or KD are on the court, you damn well know it. Beal is just one of the rest of the team. He isnāt 1/3 of a Big 3 in anything but $$$.
I think the Suns would have been better with CP3 than they are with Beal. CP3 always gets injured ofc but I don't trust Beal to stay healthy in the playoffs either so...
I donāt trust his wildly inconsistent play either. Sure heās been decent on defense the last few games but we need the whole package. Book and KD are both 27PPG and Beal is sitting at 18. Heās not 1/3 of a Big 3. Itās the Big 2. Always has been.
Suns had two great looks to tie or win and both rimmed out.
But if they were serious about this game from the moment it started they wouldn't have needed either to win.
Shows you how quick things can change in the NBA. A couple years ago The sun's where a dominant team with a relatively young core who looked primed to compete for years. Now it seems more and more likely the Devin Booker era is going to be ringless unless something shocking happens in the next couple of seasons .
Yeah itās funny to laugh at the Suns for losing against the Spurs without Wemby, but guys, itās the NBA. Anyone can win any given night. Just have to move on to the next game! Theyāll just have to beat their next opponent who will beā¦ ooh at Denver. Ok well maybe next game when they playā¦ at OKC. Well maybe the game after that theyāll take care of businessā¦ at Cleveland. Oh for fucks sake at least after that theyāll come home to take care ofā¦ Minnesota??? Ok that will be tough but the next game is also another home game vsā¦ New Orleans again??? Fine but after thatā¦ back to back games against the clippers. Well maybe theyāll split those. And then the final two games are on the road against Sacramento and Minnesota, against two teams who definitely wonāt be jockeying for seeding. So yeah, no big deal Suns fans!
How many fathers does Devin have now other than Luka? Sochan seems like heād be a cool dad, a fun one. lol but love how Jeremey didnāt back down after going 0/6 from 3. And SOLID defense on Booker and Durant
3-1 Against the Suns this year. 13-55 against every other team
Beating who you're supposed to beat.
The spurs way
Thank you Spurs, very cool of you š¤š¤
Since the time of Nash, the Spurs have owned the Suns' souls. It's fascinating.
You LOVE to see it!
And they hate us. Tbh I feel nothing about them.
Victor "Thanos" Wembanyama
Little brother energy out in the desert
Jeremy Sochan is Devin Booker stepfather
Seems like he has the most ammount of famaily inside the NBA, many fathers , Holiday, Luka, Jeremy Sochan, KD
It takes a village to raise a child
To raise a sun.
If only Mike D'antoni was still coaching the Suns
Texas is Devin Bookers father?
He usually plays pretty well against us, but we seem to usually come out on top. We just need the Rockets to start consistently beating the Suns, and then we can have the **Devin Booker Texas Trifecta**
Has Wemby been holding the Spurs back?
Trade that bum for a real unicorn, Bol Bol
dickridin bro smh
I get it tho
Why do that when we have Mamu Ginobili on the bench?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Wemby contributes to losing basketball /s
Which is wild because Wemby is a willing and creative passer, and should theoretically improve the existing system.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I think he also dropped his career high (against the Suns, funnily enough) because no one knew he had _that_ kind of offensive game and didn't gameplan around it. He was averaging a respectable 16 PPG to that point, but afterwards the memo got out that Wemby was capable of being a dominant first option if you don't work to keep him away from the basket.
Spurs without Wemby won against the Warriors and Suns. I've seen enough. Build around Sochan.
Dude has been averaging 26/18 this week, you might be on to something
time for wemby off the bench. lol.
Finally someone asking the real questions
Wemby theory
Suns spent 3 days in San Antonio and looked notably slower tonight. Too many churros boys?
Our big ol women wore em out for game 2
The spirit is willing, but the flesh is spongy and bruised.Ā
Sheās built like a steakhouse but handles like a bistro.
I mean, they did have a Zumba class at halftime during Saturdayās game. I was at the game and fucking died laughing thinking bout Chuck
Move over 'Flu Game', the 'Churro Game' has arrived.
It's them churros fault. And that dirty creek.
too hot down there, and victoria definitely a secret
Congrats to Coach Pop for breaking the all time record for most regular season wins
can't believe I got to witness history
Heāll probably break the record again soon.
I thought he did that two years ago.
He technically breaks it again with every win
Thatsthejoke.jpg, with every win he breaks it again
Congratulations Pop.
So disrespectful that they didnāt even announce this milestone during the game
well he didnāt break it until the end of the game
Haha gotta be the most embarrassing loss tonight ā¦ right guys?
this is worse since the suns are actually still playing for something
On one hand, still playing for something vs locked into the 1 seed On the other hand, 9 point lead blown vs 30 point lead blown In all honesty though, Beal getting injured (from what Iāve heard?) makes this an extra shitty game for them. Feel bad for the guy and imagine it sucks for the Suns to keep losing him after getting him back.
Looked like just a dislocated finger on his off hand. They taped it on the sideline but couldnāt tell if it was for him to be able to go back in since there was only around 2 minutes left.
Oh thatās (relatively) good to hear then. I heard āBealā and āinjuryā and honestly wasnāt sure if I wanted to hear more. Obviously still frustrating at best but hopefully wonāt be too much of a problem going forward.
And the Spurs are far and away the worst team theyāll play for the rest of the season. Every game for the Suns from here on out are playoff teams. Not playin, 5-seed or better
I just saw their schedule and I almost feel bad for them. Almost.
The spurs have like 5 wins this year and 3 of them are against the Suns š
Celtics clinched the 1 seed so who cares how many games they lose
Losing THREE games to us this year has to be the worst part of their season right?
Spurs keeping that old Suns-Spurs rivalry alive lol
Suns think we have a rivalry. We don't even think about them.
That's not true. Pop hates their guts
Does he? I didnāt care before, but I hate the suns now.
Ah but you think about not thinking about them
We won the season series against them which is definitely more embarrassing than the Cs meaningless loss
Your loss has nothing on this one This was a must win game against one of the worst teams in the NBA to avoid falling deep into the playin
You forgot to factor in: Pop *really* hates you
To be fair, you guys seem to be very unpredictable. Like I wouldnāt have bet against you losing this one but I also wouldnāt bet against you going on a run from here on regardless of opponent.
Someone correct me if im wrong but didn't we beat the Suns 3 times this year? This loss is easily worse than your loss vs the Hawks
Honestly, yes.
At least your game was meaningless. Suns are at risk of ending the season in the 9/10 game.
We could lose 12 games and weād still Have the 1 seed
True but if we lose the next 12 straight games, even I might actually be tempted to join the doomers on our sub lol
I was busy watching the Knicks. How the hell did the Suns lose to the Wemby-less Spurs?
The Suns are not a serious team
They havenāt been for a bit.
It's simple. The Spurs are Sons father.
What is this, 2007?
No. It's 2008, down to the Spurs PF hitting an unexpected 3 in the clutch
From the right wing too off of a pass from the SG
Man that was truly such a goated shot. Timmy D with ice in his veins.
From now they shall be called the sons
What's the co-parent situation like with Luka?
hopefully he marries us
the Spurs are the Sons baby sitters
Texas is Arizona Papa
Because the Suns are fucking ass, imagine having KD, Booker, and Beal on one team and only be able to beat the dog shit Spurs 1 of 4 times.
No need to imagine
Without wemby once too is insane
One of two games the Spurs have won without Wemby.
Hey now we got promoted to being just shit
Even worse, imagine thinking it was a good idea to trade for Beal.
I understand the philosophy behind it, get a third star player (even though Beal is clearly not that same guy anymore and often injured) and make that all in push. Only problem is that they have literally no ball distributer and basically have 2 shooting guards. I remember watching a Suns Clippers game and they could do nothing but go ISO, and turned the ball over on like 4 straight plays. Also little to no defense.
They play big minutes with 3 shooting guards because Grayson Allen is pretty much their only good role player. So, they play with 3 guards but none of them can point!
3 stars are not 3 stars if they all do the same thing
Vassell and Sochan masterclass
No idea but itās embarrassing. I couldnāt watch the game, but when I saw the final score, I was like, WTF!
How the hell did the Suns lose 3 games against the Spurs?
Pop hates the Suns, and Europe is Devin Bookers father
If you've watched a suns game this year, you'd know
Didn't watch the game, but checking the box score... suns shot 51% from the field and 36% from 3 and the spurs shot 44% and 26%, how the fuck did the suns lose?
Turnovers mainly
We love to lob the ball across the court with absolutely zero care at all.
Jeremy sochan is Devin Booker father
Suns didnāt want to make free throws today lol
You guys hear about the big betting scandal that broke today? Let's talk about that
Jeremy sochan from deep!
Will league investigate suns purposely losing game to spurs? /s
Without Wemby!!
Sochan haters on life support
You really don't know what will you get from this mf. He will give you 25 pts 10 reb on one night then drop a 0 point bomb the night after. Love this kid.
I still love him for his defense.
Jeremy "random stat generator" Sochan
Aka that one dipshit with spurs flair who hates the entire team
I think I know exactly who you're referring to. Dude needs to fuck off, no shit a bunch of rookie/second year projects are a bit of an inconsistent mess with no starting pg
His username starts with bb if I'm not mistaken
he's got an alt now, too. Idk if his main account got banned from the spurs sub or what, but it's definitely him posting under a different name lol
I can't stand his fucking smug attitude, too. Yesterday he was talking himself up by saying we'll all come around to his way of thinking eventually. Also claims he knew SGA was going to be a superstar. I'd rather watch golf than root against this team.
Lol who is this guy everyone knows
Youāll seem them a lot. Starts with bb, knows a lot of random stats trivia, but absolutely detests Pop and the front office. Bonus fact: also hates Popās politics, particularly his stance on gun control.
I think we all know who he's referring to lol
Yāall got your own lardbiscuits or Fultzshoulder! They effectively suck the life out of the entire team sub.
Sochan and Vassell will continue to provide me joy
The real Mikal and Cam Johnson
KD to the Spurs šššš
I need a heart transplant man
Spurs were BEGGING the Suns to hit a game winning three on that last possession and it just wouldnāt go down
Two missed free throws by collins. They were begging the suns to win that game.
Thank you Spurs fam
[The west playoff/play-in teams battling for which team can have the most embarrassing loss, colorized](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/battle-of-mid).
Kings def the worse, I think weāre the only team to lose to Wizards, Hornets and Detroit. We also got blown out by the Blazers.
Sochan Dagger 3 Im sorry for the slander Ive said Sochan you have game fs
Pain.
The Suns over under this season was 52.5. They were expected to be at minimum a top 4 seed. Massive disappoint of a season for them and another failed KD big 3
If Beal is part of a Big 3 then you got about 10 big 3's in the league lmao
Heās certainly paid like heās in one
Weāre just lightin that cash on fire. š„
Beal is literally on the same level as D'Lo as a player except one makes 50 + mill and the other one makes 18 mill
As a Suns fan, Iāve been saying that for months now. Beal has been doing some decent work lately but his paycheck and being considered on KD and Bookās level has been an absolute joke.
Yeah I think the issue isn't that the Suns are underperforming The issue is that they're simply not all that good to begin with in a stacked West Teams ahead of them are simply better all around squads
The biggest problem is that the having two guards who need the ball in their hands is not a good recipe for success.

On the bright side, this will be the last game we blow against inferior competition. Nothing but asskickings by good teams the rest of the season!
San Anbros, you're doing the Lords work tonight, we appreciate you.
Have at it bros, hope to see Zion have a run
Go Pels Go!
Go Pels Go!
As a Spurs fan who lives in NOLA and goes to Pels games often šš right back at y'all. Go win some playoff games this year.
it is inexplicable how awful they are in crunch time with 2 hall of famers on their team who are known as clutch time guys
not throwing shade, genuinely curious - is booker expected to make hof?
Who is the 2nd hall of famer?
Isaiah Thomas
For the Suns, the day The Destroyer greeted them on the court was the most important game of their lives. But for Sochan, it was simply Monday.
I feel like sochan the barbarian is a better nickname than "the destroyer". At least it rhymes more
Spurs just winning the season series against teams they're supposed to be.
We could trot out a high school roster and Pop would still find a way to win 3 out of 4 against the Suns.
[you just lost to the San Antonio Spurs](https://streamable.com/xph65x)
i love this edit
Suns have a timeout, decide not to use it... and lose
They did get two good looks from Durant and Book to win... so the timeout is pretty much the last thing to complain about tonight
Yeah I donāt get the non timeout hate. 2 great looks at the end. Just unlucky.
If you don't like that you don't like Mazulla-ball
Suns had two great looks to tie or win and both rimmed out. But if they were serious about this game from the moment it started they wouldn't have needed either to win.
Kings š¤ mavs š¤ Lakers š¤ spurs
REAL
Bradley Beal, Devin Booker and Kevin Durant couldnāt beat Jeremy Sochan
The suns must feel bad getting fathered by the spurs after all these years
The state of Texas owns us.
Let those mfers secede already
incredible KD game wasted. I do enjoy watching this Spurs team though.
We have beat the suns 3 out of 4 games this year. Suns mods still havent created a post game thread on their subreddit # LMAO
Locking the sub again
First stage of grief: Denial
Fuck anyone who gives Sochan any shit. Unreal 2nd year potential
Play-in consisting of Luka and Kyrie, KD and Booker, LeBron and Anthony Davis...Jalen Green and Dillon Brooks. Oh yeah this is gonna be fun
Dallas about to play Kings two times in a row. If either team goes 2-0 then they almost seal the 6th seed.
$250 Million well spent. And a no trade clause to boot.
And you have an aging KD. Suns just dug their own grave.
Shows you how quick things can change in the NBA. A couple years ago The sun's where a dominant team with a relatively young core who looked primed to compete for years. Now it seems more and more likely the Devin Booker era is going to be ringless unless something shocking happens in the next couple of seasons .
3 weeks away from the playoffs and Suns are still doing shit like this. Ok man.
Thank you Suns for making sure we werenāt slandered alone tonight! Very cool!
Bol Bol can't win with these cats, ya'll dick ridin' I get it
And somehow, we win the season series with the Suns. I donāt understand this team lol
Suns fans have to realize by now that they arenāt contenders, right?
Anything can happen in the playoffsā¦. And by anything I mean, we can definitely lose by more than 50 points.
It was apparent when the fourth quarter was still an issue beyond the first quarter of the season.
The Spurs and Luka are going to have to get their lawyers together to draw up a co-parenting plan for the Suns.
Grayson Allen could not save the superteam tonight
Nurkic and Beal injured on the same night, tough break for the suns
oh boy looking at the lakers schedule and the suns schedule and you could already tell what's about to happen.
The stars are aligning. The Lakers can't fuck this up
You have the best 3PT shooter in the league and only have him take 2 shots? Something aināt right with Vogelās rotations.
Is not that , KD and Book Hog the ball and tend to pass the ball just to pass with no intention to make a play
I live for nights like this
Yeah itās funny to laugh at the Suns for losing against the Spurs without Wemby, but guys, itās the NBA. Anyone can win any given night. Just have to move on to the next game! Theyāll just have to beat their next opponent who will beā¦ ooh at Denver. Ok well maybe next game when they playā¦ at OKC. Well maybe the game after that theyāll take care of businessā¦ at Cleveland. Oh for fucks sake at least after that theyāll come home to take care ofā¦ Minnesota??? Ok that will be tough but the next game is also another home game vsā¦ New Orleans again??? Fine but after thatā¦ back to back games against the clippers. Well maybe theyāll split those. And then the final two games are on the road against Sacramento and Minnesota, against two teams who definitely wonāt be jockeying for seeding. So yeah, no big deal Suns fans!
Kings lose to the Pistons Suns lose to the Spurs Mavs it's your turn
How many fathers does Devin have now other than Luka? Sochan seems like heād be a cool dad, a fun one. lol but love how Jeremey didnāt back down after going 0/6 from 3. And SOLID defense on Booker and Durant
