Preseason: Suns @ Kings 10-10-19

[Proximo]

51-37 halftime

It feels like it should be worse.

2nd unit play was the highlight of the first half.

 

[Mainstreet]

Turnovers really hurt the Suns. Booker didn't get much help.

 

[Mainstreet]

My sense of the game is Booker got frustrated that he wasn't getting any help and started putting up some extra shots not necessarily in the flow of the offense.

The Suns offense was out of sync to put it politely.

He was 4-12 in the first half for 13 points.

1-16 from 3

Saric is scarily reminding me of Ryan Anderson

 

[Mainstreet]

Ayton grabs lop and scores.

 

[Mainstreet]

Good to see Rubio finally hit another shot.

1-16 from 3

Saric is definitely not a banger... more of a finesse power forward.

This puts a lot of pressure on Ayton to be more aggressive offensively and defensively.

 

[Mainstreet]

Fox drives right down the middle of the lane for the score.

 

[Proximo]

I have to say I like Carter's D.

He is a real pest.

 

[Mainstreet]

Funny stuff. A guy would not kiss a woman who wanted a kiss. He must have been married.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns might have found a steal in Carter. Like his defense.

 

[Proximo]

Oubre really looks bad tonight. You can tell he has been missing practice.

Never the less lead is down to 8

Oubre is rusty for sure. I'm not worried about his game. It will be there.

 

[Proximo]

I am just not sure about Ty Jerome. He is so limited athleticly.

He is crafty but I am not sure it is enough.

Carter looks like the backup to me.

 

[Mainstreet]

Baynes and Holmes are in the game. It should be a good watch.

 

[Proximo]

Tyler Johnson has not even gotten into the game so far. Which is interesting.

Tyler Johnson is out tonight.

A decision will have to be made about that 'power' combination.

As far as the game so far, this is not the time to look for the
finished product. Especially with key players coming back from
injury. The first part of the season will be a continuation of
training games. And building chemistry.

The difference between this Suns team (and coaching staff)
is that we have hope for the future.

Yup. It's preseason but it might be a concern.

 

[Proximo]

Kaminsky not looking good tonight either.

PF still seems to be a big weakness.

 

[BC867]

Yup. It's preseason but it might be a concern.

True. But it is preseason of a brand new chemistry, not just a returning squad to build upon.

It will take time.

After the past decade, it feels so good to have hope!

 

[Proximo]

I love this Carter, Bridges combo.

 

[Proximo]

70 -76 Kings after 3.

Carter hits 40 footer at the buzzer.

 

[Proximo]

I was upset about losing Melton, but it really seems like Carter is superior.
