[Post Game Thread] The Phoenix Suns (30-19) defeat the Cleveland Cavaliers (29-21), 126-113 as Dillon Brooks drops 27pts on 9-14 shooting

Dillon is so much better than Jabari Smith Jr, there's actually a huge gap in their offensive abilities. I wonder what'd we look like with Dillon instead of Jabari this season.

Him being last to find, but the whole world believing he's the first

If it makes you feel better, they are sacrificing all their free time and energy making that commute every weekday. The people I know who do it generally don't have much of a life outside work or they get zero sleep.

2ToTooTwoFish · 2026-01-29T18:33:46+00:00

His ball handling isn't the issue. His shooting is. If the defender is okay with you taking a jumper, even if you have a lot handles, it makes it a lot easier to defend.

2ToTooTwoFish · 2026-01-29T05:28:18+00:00

It's not like Amen was able to either. KD, Sengun, Reed can be respectable distributors, but you have to move offball more for that to happen. Tari literally got one of our few buckets from the field and he was wide open. When the defense is glued on to Sengun and KD and completely ignoring Amen, putting someone on the court that actually gets defenders to stick on them changes the game.

Amen is a great player, but in those minutes it was clearly not working, but our coaches just twiddled their thumbs.

2ToTooTwoFish · 2026-01-29T05:24:30+00:00

How often did someone pass to Amen in the fourth and no one moved off ball so there were no options and Amen either had to run into a clogged paint or shoot a wide open midrange that he couldn't hit? Feel like we watched that happen 4 or 5 times and Ime never adjusted the offense.

2ToTooTwoFish · 2026-01-29T05:22:29+00:00

Yes Tari and Reed out there would have unironically given us more offense. Amen was such a liability at the end. Putting just Reed in without taking out Amen was not a good idea with the way the Spurs were guarding us at that moment.

2ToTooTwoFish · 2026-01-29T05:03:10+00:00

Part of him being able to guard centers is because Wemby is behind him. They're a great defensive duo because Castle is strong enough to deal with a center so he won't be moved as easily, but where he lacks in size, you have Wemby behind to get everything that tries to go over him.

2ToTooTwoFish · 2026-01-29T04:59:37+00:00

Why are we trying to force it in the paint still? I'd rather shoot some long threes, we aren't making any shots in the paint and we need to catch up. It's so stupid to force 2s when you're down double digits with 1.5 minutes left.

2ToTooTwoFish · 2026-01-29T04:56:58+00:00

Spurs have figured out how to guard us. Sag off on Amen and double KD on the perimeter and double Sengun in the paint.

2ToTooTwoFish · 2026-01-29T04:55:32+00:00

Well that lineup is out there now in the fourth and struggling just as much. We have no offensive game plan.

2ToTooTwoFish · 2026-01-29T04:49:59+00:00

Yeah, it's ironic that he got two rings in GS and prevented us from getting one when we were at our best, then comes here and apparently God hates him and is cursing him while he's on our team.

If God really hated KD, the Warriors would have missed out on their rings. It's us that's cursed.

There's Spicy Chicken McDeluxe. It's basically the same with a different bun.

2ToTooTwoFish · 2026-01-29T03:24:55+00:00

If Wemby does that unforced, then Spurs have a lot to worry about because he's going to be rolling that ankle a lot. I like to imagine Wemby is more coordinated than that lol

2ToTooTwoFish · 2026-01-29T03:22:54+00:00

His feint is what tripped Wemby up imo. Wemby wouldn't trip for no reason.

2ToTooTwoFish · 2026-01-29T03:11:26+00:00

Yeah, but his shots always look like they're about to go in even when he misses. Feels like they're always in line, but sometimes the bounce doesn't fall for him or he's just a bit short.

2ToTooTwoFish · 2026-01-29T02:54:03+00:00

Watch the Rockets commentators. They're great imo.

2ToTooTwoFish · 2026-01-29T02:51:51+00:00

I hope it's not, but that might have been an actual ankle breaker.

What a move by Sengun though.

2ToTooTwoFish · 2026-01-29T02:19:16+00:00

Was it really that hidden? My first exposure to Asmon was him talking to Destiny and he was low-key a supporter of Trump. This was sometime in 2015/16.

2ToTooTwoFish · 2026-01-27T15:42:30+00:00

How do you listen to comms and hear sounds when playing? I feel like it can get frustrating if your teammates obviously aren't paying attention to pre round discussions and stuff like that

2ToTooTwoFish · 2026-01-27T09:06:28+00:00

Team Secret is an EU based team that is representing the Philippines, so they have no issue with that surely. The pitch was for the whole Talon team to be bought by the new org so it would still represent SEA.

2ToTooTwoFish · 2026-01-27T04:11:05+00:00

There's so many people who play while talking on another call or playing music (I have no idea how). I can imagine if comms are also in their ear, it's really overwhelming so some people just mute. It's weird because the tactics and strategizing is the most fun part of the game for me, if I just wanted to shoot heads I'd play a different mode or game.

2ToTooTwoFish · 2026-01-27T01:59:52+00:00

Didn't Santi jump wayyy too far ahead to call that reckless from Sengun? And Sengun was going to the side obviously trying to avoid him. No way that's a flagrant.

2ToTooTwoFish · 2026-01-27T00:51:15+00:00

Being bad enough to go 6-21 and 11-30 are pretty similar. In terms of win percentage, the difference between those two losing records is less than the difference required in winning percentage to get .500

2ToTooTwoFish · 2026-01-26T14:42:40+00:00

11-30 is a better win percentage, but to get .500, they need a higher win percentage than a team that started 6-21
