Raptors @ Suns Tuesday game thread 3-3-20

[Phrazbit]

Lowry is down on the court. He has a towel over eye area and goes to the locker room.

Perhaps a concussion?

The towel would lead me to think he has a cut.

 

[Mainstreet]

Baynes is not in the Suns rotation in the 1st quarter.

 

[Mainstreet]

The towel would lead me to think he has a cut.

I think he has a cut for sure but he was a bit wobbly going off the court.

 

[Mainstreet]

End of 1st quarter:

Suns 39 - Raptors 30

 

[Mainstreet]

Report elbow to left eye on Lowry but available to return. This would explain the need for a towel.

 

[Mainstreet]

Lowry re-enters the game.

 

[Mainstreet]

Cam is hot tonight, 4-7 from 3-point range.

Cam is hot tonight, 4-7 from 3-point range.

How is he getting the shots off?

He is getting open looks off ball rotation.

 

[Mainstreet]

Halftime:

Suns 68 - Raptors 61

 

[cwamjn]

He is getting open looks off ball rotation.

Awesome to hear, hopefully he can develop into a good deal threat off the bench. I'm in full on thinking about draft mode and would like to think about Myles Powell hopefully in the second as an instant offense guy that can give you a solid 15 minutes.

 

[Phrazbit]

Booker needs to talk to some of the stars he looks up to, get some tips on how to interact with refs. His current puppy dog face/ whining act is not doing him any good.

I like the idea but Powell looks like a second round pick. Unfortunately the Suns do not have one in the next two drafts.

Perhaps a free agent possibility?

Rats, good catch. If he's still there a couple picks in in the second package something up. I like what I've seen from him this year, obviously limited player but man he wins and the team needs that . He's nails tough

Maybe Jones will trade down in the draft again.

 

[SunnyBaller]

Sun's could always buy someone else's second round pick but that would require sarver to spend money

Or if the Suns trade their first rounder, get a second round pick included in return.

 

[Mainstreet]

Raptors much more physical than the Suns. Raptors lead 79-78.

If we get a weird ping pong bounce and Toppin or Haliburton are off the board, you could trade down and grab Carey. Grand idea, now to be negative Sarver will never do it.

James Jones might do it though!

I haven't watched Carey play yet but scouting reports look good.

 

[Mainstreet]

End of 3rd quarter:

Raptors 87 - Suns 86

 

[Mainstreet]

Cam has cooled off. Only 4-11 from 3 point range now.

As soon I say it he hits one.... now a dunk.

 

[Phrazbit]

If we played with this energy on a nightly basis we'd be well over .500.

This effort would have obliterated Detroit and Golden State.

 

[Mainstreet]

Cam has a career high 19 points and a PER of +15.

 

[Mainstreet]

Raptor fans are so vocal tonight. I guess a championship does that.
