Suns @ Clippers Tuesday game thread 12-17-19

[CRC83]

He's picking up where he left off. Saying the right things in interviews,
but not backing them up with action.

Move him to Power Forward and get a role-playing starting Center.
Especially since Ayton's height is now officially listed as 6'11".

Whatever drug/supplement he took made him shrink 2 inches apparently.

 

[Bufalay]

When’s the last time Ayton shot a free throw?

 

[SunnyBaller]

His first game back and some of you sound like you expect him to go have some prime Shaq like performance, he's one of the only players doing anything out there tonight but you wouldn't think it if you were just reading this board, I wonder if doncic wouldnt have came from his draft class if he'd receive this much criticism from a fan base

 

[Folster]

First half 10/6/3/1/1 and he’s working himself back into the team. He’s fine, guys. Chill.

That's just it. He's good enough he can float around and put up a solid stat line, but he's not impacting the game significantly.

 

[Sunburn]

Additional shooting is something the Suns could really use or someone who can score inside when the shots are not falling.

Would be nice if we drafted a kid that shot 40% from 3. Oh ya he's out with hip problems. I swear, we have the oldest young team ever.

 

[Mainstreet]

Horsecrap calls again.

A bunch of that for sure.

 

[Mainstreet]

Clippers don't foul.

 

[Mainstreet]

Oh Yes! Ayton.

 

[82CardsGrad]

Ayton hurt... Twisted ankle...

 

[Mainstreet]

Ayton already with 16 points and 10 rebounds.

 

[TJ]

I do see that Ayton looks very rusty with all of his shots, inside and outside, and seems to be out of position, but I haven’t seen him featured in the offense at all and he’s 16/10 thru less than 3 quarters and playing good defense.

I see nothing discouraging.

 

[BC867]

Eddie Johnson just diagnosed Deandre's sudden limp as a minor ankle sprain.

He said, "He'll play if off." 'Hope so. We need his stats to keep from being
embarrassed in the score with Booker out.

 

[TJ]

Ayton already with 16 points and 10 rebounds.

But but but....EMPTY STATS!!

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns go big with Ayton and Baynes.

 

[BC867]

Ayton and Brynes are in the game together with 5:30 to go in the 3rd quarter.

 

[Mainstreet]

Something wrong with Baynes chucking up 3 point shots when he is cold.

 

[CRC83]

Have to cut it to 10 or less before the 4th...somehow.

 

[Mainstreet]

But but but....EMPTY STATS!!

The Suns problem is they don't have anything to go with Ayton and Oubre.

 

[BC867]

Something wrong with Baynes chucking up 3 point shots when he is cold.

It's the Suns MO. Along with the rest of the league.

 

[TJ]

I’ve seen no P&R action at all with Rubio and Ayton. Monty needs to emphasize this

 

[Mainstreet]

Would be nice if we drafted a kid that shot 40% from 3. Oh ya he's out with hip problems. I swear, we have the oldest young team ever.

Yup. The Suns are experienced and young at the same time.

 

[82CardsGrad]

My God our lack of scorers is frightening...

 

[BC867]

Deandre comes out quickly so the Twin Towers are now Baynes and Kaminsky.

 

[SunnyBaller]

It's the Suns MO. Along with the rest of the league.

I never understood why teams went to that, the league has one team with some of the greatest shooters of all time do it successfully and all of a sudden the NBA thinks it's the only way to play

 

[SunnyBaller]

Have to cut it to 10 or less before the 4th...somehow.

Kiss that dream goodbye, the bench is atrocious tonight
