A tale of two half’s

Ayton got to play second half

 

[Proximo]

Lee looks like he should be part of the regular rotation.

It’s one game.

don’t think this is the norm.

Decertify the results of the western semis

 

[Finito]

Booker 28/11
Ayton 18/10
Bridges 13/11
Cam Johnson 15


Paul 6/9 1-6 shooting

I swear I watch the game and we lose.. I turn it off to get ready for bed and prepare for tomorrow and my buddy text me to tell me we won..

 

[Yuma]

Well, I gotta admit, I didn't think we would be 1-0 right now.

 

[Solar7]

So stoked that I stuck around to watch that whole game. I almost shut it off. Awesome.

 

[Raindog]

For sure. Hopefully Monty's bizarro bench "philosophy" doesn't interfere.

I guess that shows why Warriors have been so successful. They really invest the effort and expense in getting good to decent players to fill slots 6 to 15 on their roster... so much so that they didn't have room for Lee. I wish the Suns had the same philosophy instead of what they have usually done historically.

Paul sitting in the clutch says 1000 words, and it ain’t good.

It says he can't guard anyone in that lineup.

 

[Mainstreet]

Replay of the ending.

I wonder how long it will take for Jones/Monty to realize you need a bigger guy to match up someone like Doncic or Giannis.

You really think they don’t know? It’s pretty obvious

 

[Finito]

If give up Crowder and Saric plus picks for Julius Randle

 

[dscher]

Turned it on just in time to watch Lee's fadeaway and not have to watch Ayton all game. Glad we pulled out the dub...

 

[Proximo]

well whatever it means, it’s a problem.

 

[Finito]

Anyone really concerned Paul got benched for Lee

Ayton played really well in the second half after getting some really bad foul calls in the first

 

[Proximo]

Anyone really concerned Paul got benched for Lee

Yes. Paul‘s usefulness is 70 percent his clutch play. If he can no longer do that well, he’s 70 percent less useful

Lol

 

[Mainstreet]

Jazz beat Denver tonight.

 

[Raindog]

You really think they don’t know? It’s pretty obvious

And yet they always seem to end up having someone like Torrey Craig guarding them.

 

[nashman]

Anyone really concerned Paul got benched for Lee

Don’t think he really got benched, more of Monty riding the hot line up and knowing too small to guard anyone they had out there…

 

[Proximo]

Zion is going to kill us,

 

[Proximo]

Payne was not really hot.

 

[Yuma]

That's what Cotton would have done.

 

[Dback Jon]

Zion is going to kill us,

Yeah. He’s gonna be a problem
