Magic @ Suns Friday game thread 1-10-20

[1Sun]

Timeframe?

By the end of the season, possibly before the trade deadline.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

This could be my least favorite suns team ever. Bad, kinda heartless, unathletic, kinda dumb, and unentertaining.

Been here on this forum for almost 20 years. And I can’t recall an instance where a single poster makes game threads unbearable. Until now.

actually make that multiple posters. And game threads were better even when we had Beasley on the team.

In other words, the embodiment of James Jones as a GM.

The only Suns roster I have liked less than this one is the drug scandal roster.

 

[Folster]

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

Somehow we can never get him the ball in the pick and roll like Nash used to do with Stoudemire and Warrick for easy dunks. Rubio had no issues feeding Gobert.

To be fair, have the Suns ever played worse basketball than they have in the past week? Ever?

The only stretch I can think of that was as bad was Earl Watson's final week...but even then it was clear that team was overmatched. This team just doesn't give a damn.

 

[Mainstreet]

Feed Ayton down low.

agree. This board has become rather toxic and unpleasant. The level of decorum has diminished. It’s really become a message board full of Twitter comments.

Yeah...and give me $10 million while you're at it...

It's the team that has become toxic and unpleasant. What do you expect at this point in response?

I will give you 12-1 odds he doesn’t demand a trade by the trade deadline. I win you go away for a month, you win and I’ll go away for a year.

 

[TJ]

Lol Rubio

 

[1Sun]

Why the hell is Rubio shooting jumpers down the stretch??? It's like they're trying to throw games at this point.

 

[Mainstreet]

Big 3 by Booker and another!

 

[Folster]

Booker died for our sins!

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

I think Ayton May be my least favorite sun ever. I can’t believe that this is the case with the guy we picked number one overall. I was so excited for him. He just flat out sucks tonight. His vaunted perimeter defense is nowhere to be found, he’s stopped in the paint by a pinky to his belly. And he switches out on a guy on the perimeter, there’s a scrum underneath for a rebound, ball bouncing around, he never takes a step towards the paint, and they get the ball. I am so severely disappointed in him.

I guarantee you they won't let it go public. In fact, something tells me that the benching today was a pretty vindictive stunt for Ayton letting it get out to the press that there was a team meeting.

This franchise is below rock bottom at this point. Completely ruined.

 

[Mainstreet]

Booker is working his tail off with his defense.

 

[1Sun]

Booker might very well be the only one left in the organization besides Monty who cares whether we win or not.

Well, certainly not tonight. Not after management threw him under the bus and unfairly made him a scapegoat.

 

[Mainstreet]

Final:

Suns 98 - Magic 94

You have a wild imagination

Great defense by Ayton on that final possession

 

[Mainstreet]

Nice to get a win but unfortunately not a happy forum.

Only time I saw it all game. But yes he was smart enough not to foul.
