Kings @ Suns Wednesday 10-23-19 game thread

[Mainstreet]

Rubio has 11 assists and Booker has collected 8.

 

[Mainstreet]

Oubre for 3 pointer has 21 points and 8 rebounds so far.

 

[Proximo]

We play D like this, we will win a lot of games.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Just a 30 point swing

Maybe I am an idiot

 

[CRC83]

Good coach + good PG + quality depth - Josh Jackson = what we are seeing tonight.

 

[Folster]

Ayton still needs to work on sealing off his man in the post.

 

[Mainstreet]

Kings are aware of Ayton defensively and passing up some easy shots inside.

 

[Evil Ash]

26 point lead people still diving on the floor for a loose ball

Love it

 

[Chaplin]

Did we look this good in game 1 last year against Dallas? I don’t remember.

 

[Hoop Head]

Did the Suns trail at all in the opener last year? I don't think they did, unless it was early in the first quarter when it doesn't really matter. Love the effort tonight. Glad Igor is there to see it also.

 

[Mainstreet]

Booker is feeling it with that 3 pointer. Great to see him in rhythm.

 

[Hoop Head]

Booker has a double double, 22 points and 10 assists. Didn't expect that with Rubio here.



He just nailed a 3 so I edited this from 19 to 22 points.

Yes. Defense has made the difference.

 

[Hoop Head]

We got a 3 PG lineup with Carter, Harper, and Okobo in.

Monty is doing this for you @BC867

A little Donovan Mitchell?

Whatever that halftime speech was, I need that in my life

We won that game by 20, but that had a lot to do with having a great shooting game.

 

[Mainstreet]

Yeah baby. Suns win 124-95 over Kings.

 

[BC867]

Suns win by 29 -- 124-95 . A great start!

Great 3- point shooting in the second half to make up for a lousy first half.

And Booker's defense.

Our next game at Denver Friday at 6PM will be a challenge. And the Clippers on Saturday at 7.

I haven’t seen this much activity on defense from Phoenix in a very long time. 36 points allowed in the 2nd half. That’s incredible, especially given how hot Hield was in the first half

In garbage time, that's fine!

Gotta give the scrubs a few seconds of play.

 

[Finito]

Credit where credit is due Booker played great D tonight.

 

[Folster]

It was nice not seeing Igor's blender offense where our big would set a useless screen 10 feet outside the three point line.

And it was Booker on him for the most part. Got to give him his due for playing defense like he did. It wasn't always good but it was good enough. I really hope he keeps that up.

Eddie was talking about it towards the end of the game, how Booker got his numbers but didn't need to win the game or have a huge effect on the game. That's big for this Suns team. Booker scoring 20+ points and not being the guy who led us to victory. Have we seen that in the last 3 years, at all? I don't think so.
