Knicks @ Suns Friday game thread 3-4-2022

[Chaplin]

Feels like a game that comes down to the wire tonight.

Isn’t that what everybody thought early in the Portland game too?

 

[95pro]

Bridges is this suns generations Marion, except longer and a better shooter. Prime marion defense was good so I’m not sure about that compared to Bridges.

 

[Proximo]

Ayton just has so many no-shows for a guy with his ability.

Yeah but he is clearly getting better.

his hook shot is now the best in the league, his foul line jumper is looking good, and he made a dribble move in the first qtr I have been waiting for him to make his whole career.

I think he is on the verge of breaking out offensively.

Bridges is more close to an offensive breakout, visually and quantifiable.
Same can’t be said about ayton.

 

[Dback Jon]

Suns are getting all ball on blocks and they’re getting fouls called on them

 

[Mainstreet]

Halftime:

Suns 58 - Knicks 55

 

[95pro]

Richard Jefferson is slightly less annoying tonight.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Ayton doesn't fight for position. Turnover

 

[Mainstreet]

Ayton is missing on rebounding, defense and mostly on offense.

 

[Chaplin]

Richard Jefferson is slightly less annoying tonight.

He was just like this last game too.

 

[Proximo]

I would argue bridges has already broken out.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Ayton is the 10th leading rebounder in this game.

 

[95pro]

He was just like this last game too.

I couldn’t stand the nuggets series with him. I wanted to punch his face on the tv

 

[95pro]

His numbers are up for sure. But until I see games where he’s the number one scorer I’ll say he’s getting there and it’s measurable.

 

[Phrazbit]

Ayton balls out against big matchups and doesn’t show against weak ones. It’s very frustrating… if he was playing tonight like he does again Jokic or LA, Philly or Milwaukee, he be an all nba candidate.

But the guy is out to lunch when he plays no name stiffs. He isn’t even getting in position to get the ball tonight.

 

[Proximo]

To me it’s not about raw numbers, it’s about efficancy and ability to create your own shot.

both are way up in the last 15 games or so.

Oh man. I get that.

I agree with all you said here.

Just not the part about breaking out in the previous post.

 

[Mainstreet]

I don't think anyone is anxious to see Payton play but I wonder if he would be extra competitive against his old team.

 

[Mainstreet]

Jae with his floater.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Give me a break. Crowder fouled on the drive and then the foul on defense

 

[Chris_Sanders]

This is some point shaving crap

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Timeout monty

 

[95pro]

65-70, why was crowder that far off from randle. Shamet was on that side.

 

[Chaplin]

Shamets defense again.
