    Clippers @ Suns Sunday game thread 1-3-2021

    Suns playing catch-up, as expected, in this game. If we win, great! If not, it doesn't change what they're accomplishing. What a great feeling to be able to feel that.

    It was Al Bianchi who introduced the whole Suns team to Niccoli's, the Italian deli owned by my former neighbors, Joe & Peppy Niccoli. Bryan Colangelo used to date their daughter.

    You're right! I should have remembered it as . . . the Suns had an All-NBA defensive Guard six seasons in a row. Of course, that had less to do with Westy. Just three in a row. Thanks.

    As I posted in Sunday's game thread, a great tribute on the pre-game show.

    RIP: Paul Westphal (1950-2020)

    So sorry to hear about the passing of Westy. The time he signed an autograph for my younger son, Paul, will remain in our memories. "To Paul, from Paul". He was special! As a player, a coach and a Suns legend. For six years, he played alongside all-NBA defense Guards -- three with Don Buse...

    Of course. But it is reassuring to know that this year's Suns are a much more balanced team, in all aspects.

    I think he is an attorney. I guess if the defendant is not guilty, there is no reason to show up at court. Even a basketball court. :rolleyes:

    Probably because it was a back-to-back. I can see where he, just returning, isn't ready for that.

    Ayton's played a good defensive game. It helped that he played eight more minutes than Jokic, who was in foul trouble all night.

    Regardless of points scored, all of the starters were a minus and all of the bench were a plus.

    Suns up by 4 under the 2-minute mark of the game. Now up by 2 under the 1-minute mark.

    I've noticed that whenever Ayton gets the ball, instead of smoothly going for a shot or a pass, he hesitates. Then tries to initiate a play. That indicates a low basketball IQ. which benefits the defense. He is scoring tonight with Jokic out most of the game in foul trouble.

    If that's so, it means that Deandre does not make things happen, he reacts to them. Catch-up mentality.

    Which is why I posted that Devin is still playing two positions. Every moment he plays the point, he is not playing his strongest position, Shooting Guard. Not only does it hurt the Suns. But it is not going to get Devin an All Star start as the best Shooting Guard.

    If the 50-point mark is a line in the sand at halftime, the Suns are 10 over and the Nuggets are 1 under.

    Yup, the Suns have opened up a 13 point lead midway through the 2nd quarter.

    It would be interesting to hear if one thing had to do with the other.

    Frank The Tank is doing his job, setting picks, constantly moving. I wonder if he could mentor Ayton . . . if Deandre is mentor-able.

    Suns go on a run to lead 34-32 at the end of the first. Time for our bench to open the lead in the 2nd quarter.

    Well, the Suns in neither their home whites nor road uniforms. They're wearing orange shirts and shorts. I don't know! They look like jars of marmalade. Maybe it will lull the Nuggets to sleep. Ayton missing a '3'. Suns start out playing catch up again, after being in control most of the game...
