Hawks @ Suns Tuesday game thread 3-30-31

I can’t even imagine how hair-raising these eventual playoff games are going to be.

 

[CardsSunsDbacks]

This stretch hasn’t been pretty... and yet they’ve won 6 of 7 and are maintaining the 2nd best record in the league.

Even while frustrating at times, an endlessly entertaining season so far.

They are putting themselves into the same positions in the 3rd/early 4th that they were during the hot stretch, but are simply struggling to put the game away in the 4th. Not sure what's going on, but hopefully for everyone's sanity they figure it out.

I'm glad rec weed was legalized. Definitely going to come in handy for those situations.

 

[Muggz]

Ayton, Bridges and Crowder with the win they came up big.

Paul and Booker go missing down the stretch again.

Dont forget Dario showed up as well.

 

[CardsSunsDbacks]

On the plus side this recent stretch is giving this team plenty of practice closing close games late in the 4th. Could be beneficial come playoff time when you kind of expect games to regularly come down to clutch time.

 

[Mainstreet]

I'm hoping the Suns get their mojo back because these are tough games to watch but at least they are winning ugly.

 

[Proximo]

Good team effort, and thankfully no booker iso ball down the stretch.

 

[Mainstreet]

It's Chicago tomorrow night. Got to keep it going.

That's what i'm thinking everything up till the playoffs is experience. If this team can get over some of its mindfarts get a little more consistent and come together as a team its gonna be a nice run.

 

[Finito]

Booker has gone from one of the best to end the game to one of the worst he’s just making bad decisions. These running shots aren’t going to cut it


And yes we will need him to play iso in big games. Give the ball to your star and let him win it that’s kind of how it works it’s what separates the goods from the greats. If he’s that guy he needs to get back on track down the stretch.

 

[Mainstreet]

Great night for Dario to come up big with 20 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists.

 

[Mainstreet]

If the Suns can play Ayton and Saric together in close games I think it might help because the Suns need inside scoring in these type games.

 

[Muggz]

Great night for Dario to come up big with 20 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists.

All that in 18 min playtime. Love to see it

 

[Mainstreet]

We agree Monty. It's just stressful at times.

I don't particularly care if it's pretty or ugly, but it is very frustrating seeing this team routinely blow double digit leads in the 4th quarter. I get that it's going to happen sometimes, but something like 6 games in a row is a little worrisome.

You can't trust the decision-making of anyone who dates a Kardashian. As long as he pursues that relationship, his game is going nowhere.

Clips lost tonight

It seems like the Suns are having trouble scoring late in games and letting teams back in the game. Suns can't rely on Booker to do this with teams clamping down on him. Ayton and Saric need to get the Suns some easy baskets down the stretch.

Really liked Ayton's 14 rebounds tonight.

yeah, Ayton frustrated the he’ll out of me in the third quarter tonight, but he made big plays on both ends down the stretch tonight to help the Suns seal the deal.

sweet!

man... that is a BAD loss to an awful team, especially coming off the butt kicking they gave the Bucks last night.

 

[Mainstreet]

Clips lost tonight

Way to go Magic. Looking at the box score they mostly did that with their bench.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns are again with the second best record in the league with the 76ers also losing.

 

[Mainstreet]

UCLA beats Michigan. Wow.
