Pistons @ Suns Friday game thread 2-28-20

[BC867]

Hopefully Booker comes to life during the second half of his bobblehead night.

Go Devin!

 

[Mainstreet]

Booker was clearly fouled on that layup but no call.

 

[BirdGangThing]

What's crazy is Ayton is still no where near his potential and he's already one of the better centers in the game

And call me crazy but it seems like he took it up another notch once Zion came on the scene

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns need Cam to make some shots although he hit the floor hard earlier in the game.

 

[Mainstreet]

End of 3rd quarter:

Pistons 84 - Suns 79

 

[TJ]

Please don’t lose to the Pistons at home.

 

[Chaplin]

This is one of those angry games. By that I mean, watching this team makes me angry.

 

[Mainstreet]

No other way to say it. The Suns need more talent... not have much on the bench.

 

[TJ]

Not watching, but been checking the box score. Looks like Monty is trying more to preserve his starters than be aggressive. Problem is, the bench sucks

 

[Chaplin]

I’m not happy with Monty in this game.

 

[Cheesebeef]

this is pathetic. there's no reason this team should lose to this broken down, talentless Detroit team at home.

for ONCE this team is playing somewhat meaningful games. are the playoffs a long-shot? very much so, but they are just 4.5 games out with 25 left. To come out, at home with a performance like this reinforces me fear that we're building castles made of sand, making Booker and Ayton the building blocks of a very successful team.

 

[Mainstreet]

I like that little turnaround hook shot by Ayton.

 

[Chaplin]

Any idiot can see—get Ayton the ball early. The shot clock because that’s when he’s in the paint. Wait longer and he’s not and then he settles for jump shots. The guards need to recognize that and not let Rubio throw up stupid desperation 3s.

Kelly Oubre Jr. -- who is rocking some reflector shades tonight -- is remaining engaged in huddles, clapping, nodding his head and saying "Yes, sir." #Suns down 94-86 with 6:53 to play.

This team is straight cheeks.

 

[Chaplin]

One of the worst games of the year. Period.

 

[Mainstreet]

Good to see Cam hit that 3-pointer. He was scoreless and took that hard fall earlier.

 

[Phrazbit]

Man it blows to drop these games.

Memphis is in free fall and that 8th seed is up for grabs.

 

[BirdGangThing]

Pistons bench is almost as good as their starters, and them offensive rebounds are killing us.

Yet we're still in the game.

 

[Mainstreet]

Cam doing it. All of a sudden Suns only trail by 2.

 

[GatorAZ]

Someone tell D Rose it’s not 2010.

 

[BirdGangThing]

I think I'm more a fan of Derrick Rose now then I was when he was with the Bulls, he just makes it look easy.

 

[Mainstreet]

No answer for Derrick Rose.

 

[GatorAZ]

Cam doing it. All of a sudden Suns only trail by 2.

Cam shooting over 40% from 3 this year.

 

[Chaplin]

No answer for Derrick Rose.

Pretty disappointed in Mikail’s defense to tonight.

 

[BirdGangThing]

Eddie Johnson drinking some serious champaign tonight
