Bucks @ Suns 3-4-19

[Mainstreet]

Jamal Crawford should not get any mins especially now that Melton is healthy.

I can't help but wonder if Igor feels some pressure to play Johnson because of the Anderson trade.

I don't know if Booker is playing hurt, but man... there is VERY little polish to his game. He makes horrendous passes and he takes a ton of poor shots. And almost every time he decides to make a drive to the basket, he loses the ball. WTF???

 

[Mainstreet]

Oubre makes scoring inside look easy.

 

[Finito]

Good lord the girl in the black chewing the gum.

Halftime:

Bucks 54 - Suns 52

Nice comeback to close the score to a point deficit.

 

[Finito]

Come down 16 to cut it to 2 at half

 

[HeHasRosen]

This team can play some D when it really wants to. Oh and sign Kelly Oubre

 

[SirStefan32]

They really can play some serious defense.

I don't know what it is exactly but there are periods during a game where it looks like Booker waits for the right opportunity to step up the intensity.

Perhaps he wants to get teammates involved.

He passed up an open 3 pointer to get Johnson a better look for a score.

I must be missing something. LOL

Bender has blocked Giannis clean twice tonight.

 

[Mainstreet]

The announcers keep talking about the Suns building a wall down low.

 

[sunsfan88]

Bender has thrived with Kokoskov more than the other coaches. I’m not his #s reflect it but he looks more comfortable out there.

You sure you didn’t accidentally switch the channel over to Fox News?

 

[SirStefan32]

I cannot believe they called that a flagrant on Bender!

 

[Finito]

First row by the bucks bench the camera man is really making it a point now lol but they are the only two people in the row soooo

 

[Hoop Head]

Been watching since the half, has Ayton been guarding Giannis all night? Surprised to see that already but he's been his assignment for the last 3 minutes. I think any defender would need a bat to stop him.

I do wonder how Marion would have guarded him back in the day. Marion played Dirk better than damn near anyone. He could put the clamps on in the right matchup.

 

[Finito]

Good lord Booker throws the worst passes I’ve ever seen

 

[Mainstreet]

The referees look to be giving the Bucks some favorable calls.

 

[Hoop Head]

Oubre shouldn't have complained about that rebound. He could have swatted that shot but instead he gives up the 2nd chance points. He has been playing really good other than that.

Are you watching FSAZ?

For the most part, yes.

This passed through my mind.

 

[SirStefan32]

However this game ends, the Suns have proven they can hoop. As frustrated as we all are, they've shown incredible quarters or defense over and over again. Get a PG, get a couple of older players, and this team is going to be scary.

 

[Hoop Head]

I agree. I wonder if sitting half the season and being able to practice a lot and play without expectations has helped him or if it's Kokoskov and his staff. He looks like a real NBA player out there.

They really should change the rules when it comes to when rookie options need to be picked up. It's October 31st now and since the league has been starting earlier and earlier every year that is about 2 weeks into the season. It used to be opening night or a day or two removed from it. Now that the season is going though it makes no little sense to keep that as the rookie option deadline. Give teams until the end of the year or January 15th when all other contracts become guaranteed and 10 day deals can be signed. That would allow teams more time to evaluate their rookies and picks.
