bud keeping kd off the court - it has begun

 

[Mainstreet]

I view Cody Martin and Ryan Dunn as similar type players.

They both play good defense and can play a hybrid 3/4.

 

[BirdGangThing]

the energy and all our effort only show up with the youngins out there but im sure it's a coincidence

 

[BirdGangThing]

wow book really trusts dunn to create his own offense

 

[BirdGangThing]

kd had kinda just been staying out of the way unless the shot clock starts running down - he's camping in the corner or sitting back by half court

 

[BirdGangThing]

if bud was so good with young players dunn would be a top 5 rookie

 

[Mainstreet]

Oso +1.

 

[Covert Rain]

I really like Martin’s hustle.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns are a much better team when they move the ball, let their young players provide the energy and ask their stars to be specialists.

 

[BirdGangThing]

the raptors technically showed up

 

[Mainstreet]

End of 3rd quarter:

Suns 93 - Raptors 64

 

[BirdGangThing]

so little of kd tonight

 

[Mainstreet]

Martin's good defense leads to a Booker three.

 

[BirdGangThing]

almost like it's book's team again tonight but again the raptors don't want to win

 

[Yuma]

This is why I love the Martin Twins. They just do the little things that don't show up in the box score. We need guys like this to round out the roster.

Barnes looks good, but he's playing us. So it's hard to know if he really is good, or just good versus the Suns.

It's what I was thinking. Refreshing to see the Suns playing team basketball again.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns could have used a player like Castleton, who is on a 10-day contract.

 

[Yuma]

Martin recovering from the sports hernia may not have that core strength back for the three. Shooting a little flat for him.

 

[Mainstreet]

Dunn is in a groove.

 

[AzCardsfan76]

Just got home and turned on the game. Who are these imposters and what did they do with the team???

Raptors and Suns switched jerseys at the start of the game.

 

[Mainstreet]

Dunn and Martin are the PFs in this lineup. I like the defense.

 

[Yuma]

Micic runs like Jackie Moon Just needs the head band.

 

[Yuma]

Bol Bol assist!

 

[Mainstreet]

Ty Ty needed that three.
