Raptors @ Suns 11-2-18

[HeHasRosen]

Igor making adjustments and changing rotations. That is exactly what i like to see

 

[Mainstreet]

Anderson is giving the effort.

 

[HeHasRosen]

Nobody needed that shot more than Ryan Anderson

 

[SirStefan32]

Bench did great, but let's get Ayton and TJ back on the floor.

 

[GoldGloveschmidt]

We saw this team on opening night. Not sure who those guys were during the 6 games in between.

 

[Mainstreet]

Nobody needed that shot more than Ryan Anderson

Igor has stayed with Anderson so this tells me he is getting what he wants from him.

 

[SirStefan32]

There ya go, Ayton!

 

[Mainstreet]

Strong rebound from Warren.

 

[Mainstreet]

Now Warren finds Ayton down low.

 

[Mainstreet]

No help for Canaan on Leonard.

 

[SirStefan32]

Come on! You can't leave Canaan on Kawai!

 

[95pro]

Booker doing us in. Dumb long pass intercepted for two points. Gets scored on. Then fumbles a pass.

 

[SirStefan32]

There have been some defensive lapses, but overall, the Suns played excellent defense in the first half.

 

[SirStefan32]

Ariza!

 

[Mainstreet]

Ariza measures the 3 and hits it.

 

[Chaplin]

I haven’t been a believer, but man, does TJ look like a different player...

 

[SirStefan32]

Canaan barking at Warren for a missed rotation. I like it!

 

[SirStefan32]

Point Ariza!

 

[95pro]

No love for T.J. from the refs in the first half.

 

[Mainstreet]

Quality basket for Ayton.

 

[SirStefan32]

Excellent defensive play by Ayton and Canaan!

 

[95pro]

I like what I see but I’m sure if the Raptors are playing down.

 

[Mainstreet]

Halftime:

Suns 52 - Raptors 48

A very encouraging half of basketball by the Suns.

 

[HeHasRosen]

This just goes to show, all this team has to do is put effort in on D, and move the ball on offense.

Oh and keep JJ on the bench

 

[Hoop Head]

Canaan and Holmes a little unfamiliar with each other but it’s working

They actually played together briefly in Philly a couple years back. I would think they get paired together in practice a good amount also. Canaan would be a solid backup PG, IMO, and Holmes is a decent backup Center. We shouldn't have to rely on either to spell the starters for 15 minutes a night though.
