Kings @ Suns Wednesday 10-23-19 game thread

They need to make Ayton be Rubio's ball boy when Rubio is practicing his shot. Ideally Ayton will learn how they usually bounce so he can start stuffing them back in.

I've seen a few videos with Rodman this summer from his playing days. He made rebounding an art form by breaking it down so far. He knew how many rotations the ball would take for each player's shot and which way they'd bounce, how high or low. I don't expect Ayton to learn everyone's shot but if he can clean up Rubio's misses that would be huge.

I do enjoy the entire arena booing the crap out of Ariza.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Is 0.5 seconds a good fit for our perimeter players?

 

[Hoop Head]

I do enjoy the entire arena booing the **** out of Ariza.

I'm impressed they've kept it up. I expect it to quiet down after the first few possessions but they've let him hear it consistently.

 

[Folster]

How long before Frank the Tank supplants Saric in the starting line-up?

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Booker coast to coast sweet

 

[Mainstreet]

Yes! Carter for 3 pointer.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

How long before Frank the Tank supplants Saric in the starting line-up?

Neither. Bridges

 

[Mainstreet]

Bridges with solid defensive forcing turnover.

 

[Mainstreet]

And Carter with another 3.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Carter is going to feed my Rubio

 

[Chaplin]

Different team this half.

 

[Hoop Head]

Carter's shot is really good. I didn't watch him shoot much in preseason but his mechanics are solid.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Baynes is awesome

 

[Folster]

Man. If Rubio could be just an average shooter. He'd be deadly.

 

[Folster]

Different team this half.

I've never seen Booker fight through screens so hard.

 

[Phrazbit]

We’ve slaughtered the kings this quarter and it’s been cool to see the arena respond. Way louder than at any point in the first half.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Lineup to close games

Baynes
Ayton
Bridges
Booker
...
Probably Rubio

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Baynes again with great defense

 

[BC867]

Buddy Hield with 22 points in the first half . . . has been held to 3 by Booker
during the 3rd quarter.

And the Suns lead by 10 after 3.

Can they hold the lead?

 

[Absolute Zero]

Kaminsky

 

[Mainstreet]

End of 3rd quarter:

Suns 86 - Kings 76

5 personal fouls on Carter. He has been a catalyst.

 

[Hoop Head]

Lineup to close games

Baynes
Ayton
Bridges
Booker
...
Probably Rubio

Have you been watching Carter? I know it's early but he's been a big part of this comeback and building the lead, on both ends.

 

[Mainstreet]

Rubio has 9 points and 8 assists at the end of the quarter.

 

[RockinDaMike]

Coaching has been very good, that's how you come back from halftime
