Suns @ Grizzlies Sunday game thread 1-26-20

[1Sun]

How close were Rubio and Oubre to Kobe? They look more out of it than Booker.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns inability to draft has cost them dearly.

 

[Mainstreet]

He is pulling a bit of a Len impersonation tonight. Sometimes I used to wonder if Len had fingers.

A lot of that plus bringing the ball down with defenders around.

 

[Mainstreet]

That was a nice drive by Oubre to the basket.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns getting blown out. They trail 51-37.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Man has Ayton sucked ass the past 3 games. He has a nice run and then gets worse than his average passive play. Watching him in this game is just infuriating.

Again, can't glean much from this game, given the dire circumstances, though the one discouraging thing is the now growing trend of Ayton being passive and soft.

Frankly, Booker shouldn't even be playing. Again, I don't know about Rubio and Oubre (who are having far worse games than Booker) in terms of their relationships with Kobe.

 

[Mainstreet]

Halftime:

Grizzlies 56 - Suns 45

 

[Proximo]

Ayton appears to be sleepwalking.

they just look awful overall.

Starting to get horrible Benoit Benjamin and Joe Barry Carroll vibes...

 

[Mainstreet]

Booker (17) and Oubre (15) have 32 of the Suns first half points.

 

[hcsilla]

That's Booker and Oubre vs. a good Grizzlies team.

It's a miracle that they are down only by 11.

 

[Mainstreet]

Rubio is scoreless going 0-7 and no chance of keeping up with Morant.

 

[Mainstreet]

Monty was creative in playing Diallo and Ayton together. Wished it worked better.

 

[Chaplin]

And James Jones is an idiot for wanting Dillan Brooks. Uh, ok.

And James Jones is an idiot for wanting Dillan Brooks. Uh, ok.

The Suns are the only team he seems to play well against. Look at his numbers against every other opponent. His PER is a horrible 13.03, for goodness sake...

 

[Mainstreet]

Ayton is going to be an excellent player. The problem is the Suns need him now.

Suns bench is nonexistent not to mention nonproductive games from Rubio and Saric.

Rubio seems by far the most out of it. I wonder if the European connection meant a special bond with both Kobe and Jellybean...

I would speculate the same for Saric, except this is how he always plays at least 4 out of every 5 games.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Ayton is just flat out lazy

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

And man is Rubio playing poorly

 

[Mainstreet]

Ty Jerome is getting some minutes.

 

[1Sun]

Why is Bridges getting virtually no playing time this game? Is he hurt?

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

I feel like we are years behind Memphis at this stage.

 

[Mainstreet]

Finally a foul is called while Booker is being mauled.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns making a 7-0 run now trailing 75-69.
