Kings @ Suns 1-8-18

And yet commentators preach patience and our bright future....and I'm totally disgusted

And it looks like Ayton is doing a great job initiating contact -urp- no free throws.

 

[Bufalay]

Nice game plan, toilet coach.

As disgusted as I frequently am in the moment during games, I do understand patience and long term here.

I’m guessing ur not watching. His defense has been much worse than usual. You’d really enjoy it.

Actually I feel sorry for them having to cover the Suns. They have to put something positive out there.

 

[Proximo]

It’s not as bad as it looks. Kings are shooting the crap out of the 3.

 

[Mainstreet]

Fox is lightning fast and he can leap so well.

 

[Mainstreet]

Ayton goes out with 4 personal fouls.

 

[AzStevenCal]

I am so done with Warren though. If I were the Suns I'd force feed him every game until someone offers to give us more than he's worth. I just don't believe you can win with him in your starting lineup. And I disagree with those that suggest he's better off as a 6th man. He's just too easy to shut down when the defense focuses on him and the 6th man typically needs to be able to get his own shot. 17 points are great but you have to do more than that.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns had a five on one fast break. I don't remember seeing that before.

I have, sort of. Many times. But we were always the 1, I can't remember us being the 5 before.

I guess that's why I noticed when the Suns had one.

Yeah I’m not. I was so tempted to buy a package, but man I’m glad I didn’t. I saw he’s a negative 17.

 

[Mainstreet]

Melton should be a solid point guard given time to develop.

 

[Proximo]

D is looking good. Got it down to 5.

 

[CardsSunsDbacks]

Imagine what this game might look like with a solid starting PG and Melton as the backup and would in turn take JC out of the lineup completely.

 

[Mainstreet]

End of 3rd quarter:

Kings 86 - Suns 86

 

[BC867]

And the Suns win the 3rd quarter 33-14 with 8 steals. Continued good play by the bench.

The Suns's defense wasn't really that much better than it was against the Warriors, but the difference is that they were allowed to play it because the Kings don't have "stars." They committed lots of tiny fouls that the officials let go. That's good; what's frustrating is that it's entirely up to the referees whether a team will be granted the option of competing defensively.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Holy smokes the third quarter!

 

[AzStevenCal]

I don't understand why everyone was so pissed about that call, Acy hit both arms on that swipe down.

 

[WildBB]

Suns playing D. Led the comeback.

 

[Mainstreet]

I was watching the movie "Gladiator" the other night. There are a lot worse fouls.

Couldn't agree more. Too many coddled players by the refs.
