Magic @ Suns Friday game thread 1-10-20

[BC867]

Two Suns in double figures and seven with six points or less two minutes into the 2nd half.

I've heard of balance, but that's rediculous.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns needed that 3 by Saric. Magic had closed it to 5 points.

 

[JerkFace]

And yet other than perhaps Booker on offense and Bridges on defense, Ayton has been the team's best player on both ends of the court.

If anyone's not buying in it's Baynes, not Ayton.

And based on what I have been hearing from both, I absolutely cannot imagine Monty making a bonehead move like this, while I absolutely CAN imagine Jones doing so (not to mention that Jones is the common denominator with last year's inexplicable benching of players after good games).

I am saying this with all seriousness. Why don’t you start a thread about James Jones so that you can discuss your frustrations with him there as opposed to game threads (and pretty much every single other thread).

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns lead has slipped away. It's a familiar story.

Magic lead 69-68.

 

[AsUpRoDiGy]

Ayton doing his best Houdini act...

 

[Dingding]

Ayton looks like he’s barely trying. Always out of position. Ghost

 

[Bufalay]

Somehow okobo is shooting 41% from 3. I assumed he was 10%.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

I’m watching nothing but Ayton and he looks like he has never played basketball before in his life. He’s regressing.

 

[Folster]

Ayton asking for the foul on his fade away jumper.

 

[Mainstreet]

End of 3rd quarter:

Suns 77 - Magic 75

 

[1Sun]

I'm not sure how you could watch him and think he wasn't playing soft. It's obvious.

Soft yes, but no softer than the rest of the team, and still better than most of the rest of the team, and certainly better and less soft than Baynes and Saric.

 

[TJ]

Either Ayton needs to shoot out of his slump or play underneath. 4/13 is unacceptable. Should have 1
20 points by now

 

[1Sun]

I’m watching nothing but Ayton and he looks like he has never played basketball before in his life. He’s regressing.

With the stunt pulled in benching him for comparatively good play, can you blame him?

As long as James Jones remains the GM, this team is beyond hope.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

The more I watch Ayton this year the more I see Benoit Benjamin. Except for his 8 free throws. Oh wait, ZERO.

 

[Mainstreet]

Cam needs to hit the open shot.

 

[1Sun]

The more I watch Ayton this year the more I see Benoit Benjamin. Except for his 8 free throws. Oh wait, ZERO.

Now watch him go to a team that uses him properly and become another David Robinson.

At this point, we're better off if Sarver DOES move the team to Seattle or San Diego.

This franchise is officially dead.

 

[1Sun]

Cam needs to hit the open shot.

I think I have a better chance of being crowned Miss America as a 47 year old man...

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns giving the game away right now.

 

[Dingding]

I swear every time down the court Ayton gets bad position so it’s impossible to get him the ball. It’s like he takes himself out of the game
On offense on purpose

Suns giving the game away right now.

So what else is new?...

Wouldn't surprise me at all if it is on purpose tonight. A big F-you to management. Probably will demand a trade shortly.

 

[1Sun]

BTW, does anyone at this point still not think that Cam Johnson at 11 is a colossal bust?

 

[JerkFace]

Ha... You’ve gone full parody.

 

[1Sun]

Ha... You’ve gone full parody.

Just watch and wait...

 

[JerkFace]

Just watch and wait...

Timeframe?
