Season Opener: Nuggets @ Suns Wednesday game thread 10-20-2021

[Mainstreet]

Barton is a good player.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Got sloppy hear at the end of the half.

 

[Mainstreet]

Halftime:

Suns 58 - Nuggets 51

 

[SirStefan32]

They didn't close the first half well, but still up by seven.

 

[Dback Jon]

Great quarter other than the last 90 seconds

 

[Proximo]

Good second quarter after a rough 1st.

cam Payne still in a slump. Starting to worry me a bit.

 

[DJ Tabooh]

Yeah kinda sloppy at the end there. Gotta continue to get good shots. I really like the ball movement of this team.

We may see more of Shamet and Payton could push Payne as well.

Also wanted to mention Payne needs to drive to the basket to get his rhythm going.

Shamet isn’t anything special. He’s been on 4 teams in 4 years some nights he’s gonna look good and some nights he’s gonna look G league caliber.

1st game as a season ticket holder!

Ayton, Paul and Shamet have been playing strong. Crowd with some “Pay D.A.” chants.

Was starting to feel like a rout right before the half, then we got a bit sloppy.

 

[Mainstreet]

We will see. In another post I said he could be the Suns version of Patty Mills.

4 teams in 4 years… but look who/what he was traded for each time.

 

[Finito]

The thing is we have so many guys who could just be on any given night. Bridges, Cam, Payne, Shamet, Crowder any one of them could go off for 20-25 any given night

 

[Muggz]

Not a bad 1st half id like to see more out of the Cams as well.

No disagreement there but I like the addition of Shamet and think he will pay dividends.

 

[Phrazbit]

I’m sure I knocked McGee as a knucklehead somewhere along the line but there is certainly something lovable about his antics. During warmups when they came out with the stretching board for him he acted like he didn’t see it, pretending to trip over it and acted like he was dead. Too many goofballs is a problem but he seems like a good one. He certainly seems intense when the clock is ticking.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Man... I can’t really afford the Suns ticket right now but watching this first game, I don’t know if I can afford not to, especially since who knows what happens after this season.

I feel like I gotta soak up every bit of the Suns when I can, while I can!

 

[Mainstreet]

Crowder needs to do more than shoot threes on offense.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Well, this is ugly now. Come on boys. Came out of the half sleepwalking.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Crowder needs to do more than shoot threes on offense.

Like what? That’s who he is and what his role is.

 

[Mainstreet]

Like what? That’s who he is and what his role is.

He can drive it some to keep defenses honest.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Me might have spoke too soon about owning this Murray-less team.

 

[Finito]

Crowder needs to do more than shoot threes on offense.

That’s what he’s here for

 

[Mainstreet]

This is like the 1st half before the bench came into the game.

 

[Cheesebeef]

He can drive it some to keep defenses honest.

No he can’t. He has no handles. Unless you want increased turnovers, I sure has hell don’t want him driving. At age 30, he is what he is.
