Suns at Warriors 10-8-18 (preseason)

[SirStefan32]

Ariza is playing like a beast! Anderson hit a couple of shots, and Ayton has been really good. I love the fact that they are just giving him the ball in the post today.

 

[SirStefan32]

Who made that pass to Daniels? That was beautiful!

 

[Mainstreet]

Good to see Jackson hit a shot from deep.

End of 1st quarter:

Suns 40 - Warriors 32

 

[Mainstreet]

Wow. The Suns are running a motion time offense. It's exciting to see.

 

[SirStefan32]

Nice defensive play (charge) by Canaan!

 

[Mainstreet]

I wish the announcers would talk to Cousins on their own time.

I put it on mute because it was too unbearable.

 

[SirStefan32]

So, theoretically, this is what the Suns should look like with a competent point guard. Harrison and Canaan have not been great, just good enough.

Warren's 3 point stroke is looking better. Looks more fluid. Obviously he air-balled the last one, but still looks smoother.

I think it would help. It's amazing how a major change gets the players attention.

Tyson Chandler offers very little if any rim protection any more.

Very few 35 year-olds in their 18th season do.

 

[Mainstreet]

This could be the Suns starting lineup less a change at PG... Ayton, Ariza, Anderson and Jackson.

Of course if Booker returns he starts.

 

[Mainstreet]

Canaan is not helping his cause right now.

 

[SirStefan32]

Canaan is not helping his cause right now.

Really? I thought he played well.

 

[Mainstreet]

Halftime:

Suns 61 - Warriors 57

Ayton is looking so good. he has 12 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 1 block.

 

[SirStefan32]

Ayton can do so many things so well. It is amazing that he is as young as he is.

 

[Yuma]

Well, Deandre guarding Curry in the corner at the buzzer without fouling and forcing a miss. Doesn't get better than that for your young center.

 

[Mainstreet]

Really? I thought he played well.

I caught Canaan during a cold spell. He had a nice half.

 

[Russ Smith]

Warriors announcers just raving about Ayton.

He defended KD really well on that one drive. They called him for a foul, but I didn't see it. He stayed in front of KD fair and square. Also, I liked how KD tried to guard him in the post. Ayton scored on him twice, and KD has not guarded him since.

That's the beauty of having a big with a 9'5" standing reach and as nimble as Ayton. He is absolutely going to change someones shot, even Curry's.

Warriors announcers just raving about Ayton.

Dude can play! Such a smooth jumper, great hands, soft touch around the rim too.

 

[sunsfan88]

Very few 35 year-olds in their 18th season do.

I would rather see Holmes as Ayton's primary back up over him.
