Heat @ Suns Saturday game thread 1-8-2022

I do like Justin Jackson.

Lowry with the buzzer beater

 

[Yuma]

That sums up the night when they take a 40 foot three just to beat the clock and it goes in.

 

[95pro]

I do like Justin Jackson.

He has passed the eye test in limited minutes. Looks like he understands the game, and makes shots he’s supposed to make.

 

[95pro]

I’d still be ok with moving crowder for someone more dynamic OR simply give CJ more minutes.

Final:

Heat 123 - Suns 100

 

[Mainstreet]

Some final stats.

Booker 5-15 from the field.

[Finito]

Meh

 

[Mainstreet]

Booker shoots 5-15 from field tonight and 5-22 against the Clippers.

 

[reebokalone2001]

Don't know if it's the conditioning, awareness, or skills, Ayton gets boxed out so easily by almost every Heats' player, even the guards. I saw way more rebounding efforts in Stix than Ayton.

 

[Yuma]

Guys returning from Covid seem like they needed more time.

 

[reebokalone2001]

Booker shoots 5-15 from field tonight and 5-22 against the Clippers.

Tyler Herro looks like a much better scorer (especially off the dribble) than Book tonight.

 

[Mainstreet]

Heat shoot 22-44 from three and 50% from field.

Suns shoot 14-34 from three and 38% from field.

 

[95pro]

Do we ever have Crowder, Birdges or Cam Johnson go for 25 or more?

Just registered to write u suns organisation ure awful how the coaching staff and team can let robinson herro tucker just shot 3s twoo quarters with no adjustements no zone 3 2 no defenders on them for locking perimeter there were no paint threat and lot of player missing for the heat the game plan was obvious lock perimeter let paint open .seriously suns like this wont win nothing .if u need someone for the staff u can call me im not expensive and im better than lot of guys in pretty suits who never touch a ball or dont use their brain. Gm u can rebuild ur team it doesnt work at all.it was a bball joke. They just shoot 3s in 2qter seriously. Pay me 4000 bucks a month it wont happen again and i renegotiate the second month.awful sport performance.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns now head out on a five game road trip:

@Toronto (1/11)
@Indiana (1/14
@Detroit (1/16)
@San Antonio (1/17)
@Dallas (1/20)

Tonight was a rough getaway game.

That’s to be expected

We need another creator to take pressure off Book but Book HAS to let the game come to him. Tucker knows how to defend him and they will throw plenty of bodies at him. These last 2 games aren’t the Devin Booker we’re going to need if we want to get back to where we were. Hope our group learns from this. It seems like we never lose close games, we get blown out when we lose. Idk if that’s a good or bad thing but we’ve gotta be better.

 

[Mainstreet]

JaVale McGee only played 6 minutes tonight.

 

[Mainstreet]

Monty says Jalen Smith is a work in progress.

I think this covers almost everything Monty.

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Stix and McGee on the floor at the same time

Yeah it looked terrible. I think stix is back to a lot of watching. He can’t play the 4.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

DA is so useless

He was really bad tonight. On both ends of the court. It amazes me how long it always seems to take him to get back into game shape whenever he has any kind of layoff.

But he wasn’t alone tonight. Book now with 3 of his worst games in a span of like 5 or 6 games. Something is off with him

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

He only has 3 attempts we haven’t made an effort to go inside or drive at all

The few times we did in the first half the ball bounced off his hands. He also made little effort to establish position against the scrubs they were guarding him with in the first half. He was dreadful in the first half. There was a loose ball bouncing next to him at one point - he was easily the closest player on either team to it - he never even made a movement towards it. Didn’t watch the second half.
