Suns @ Hawks 2-23-19

[GatorAZ]

5 game lead on Chicago who sitting at #4 so the Suns are pretty much guaranteed the best odds with two other teams under the new system.

 

[Chaplin]

is this the game that just turns EVERYONE here against each other?

Have the Suns finally pushed us to our annual Lord Of The Flies flamewars where we're sick of ripping on the team so we just decide to shred each other to get our frustrations out?

Yes.

 

[slinslin]

but the same thing happened last year. When Book went out and he started to be more involved in the game, his numbers went up also.

What a coincidence

Other Player numbers go up if you remove the highest usage player? who would have thought.

 

[TJ]

He’s content with be being good not great. If people want to keep making excuses for him that’s on them.

If he’s good when being underutilized, I’d like to see him when he’s a part of the game plan.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Never said “hate” but good on you hypocritically putting words in other’s mouths.

lol... sorry, it wasn't that people "secretly hate Ayton"... people "secretly dislike Ayton". my bad on the GULF OF DIFFERENCE in such a misquote!

either way, getting into semantics because the idea that people either secretly dislike or hate Ayton it's still just an asinine a statement.

Tyler had a great offensive game
but he had no business starting after 4 stinkers, and with Melton back

i feel sorry for Igor. he just can't get it right. finally gets a T sticking up for his player's but with his team 2 minutes away from breaking a 16 game losing streak

how did they lose this close one? same as usual -- just winging it in crunch time

 

[Mainstreet]

The bottom three teams have 14% odds in the lottery.

Running the simulator it seems easier for other teams to move up.

yeah... i get that. But JJ seemingly falls off a cliff and doesn't even contribute or is completely out of control when... ah forget it.

magic Johnson isn't a PG, the Suns aren't a disastrous organization and we didn't want Budholzer anyway!

 

[Cheesebeef]

just show I'm square... we're going prison rules for the next half hour here, right?

When Trae Young came back in the game, a loss seemed inevitable.

 

[Mainstreet]

Seventeen straight losses. Has anyone looked up the NBA record?

Ayton wanted it and he had a good game.

The Suns need to figure out a way to get him more opportunities.

He’s gotta do a better job of being assertive. His teammates can do a better job of getting him the ball but even the few times that they do get him the ball, he’s already looking to pass it instead of even thinking about scoring.

Fine I’m not going to argue with you about this. The rest of my post is spot on though.

 

[Mainstreet]

Some final stats.

Lying about people huh. Ok

That’s what you do when you put words in people’s mouths. It is literally lying.

 

[1Sun]

28, and I think there's a very good chance we get there...

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Sooooooo

Deandre Ayton 6/8 for 14 points 12 rebounds

Kelly Oubre 5/19
Bridges 2/10
Johnson 10/16
Booker 8/23

Ayton again super efficient.Pretty damn hard to get involved when the perimeter players just run down and chuck it up.

The only guy on this team that should get up more shots than Ayton is Booker. Bottom line.

Can’t disagree with that.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns next best chance to get a win is against the Knicks on March 6th at home.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Never said “hate” but good on you hypocritically putting words in other’s mouths.

“Don’t like” or “hate” is splitting hairs when you’re projecting what other people think about a player, dontcha think? We’d have a less arguments on this board if people didn’t tell other people what their supposedly thinking.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Fine I’m not going to argue with you about this. The rest of my post is spot on though.

of course you're not because you really don't have much of a leg to stand on. Your initial statement about secretly disliking Ayton is just an out and out projected LIE on fans who dare find any kind of fault with Ayton's game, so thank you for not arguing the semantics of dislike v. lie... while then calling me a hypocrite.

As to the rest of that initial post, spot on? you AGAIN project on to others going into victimhood saying an Ayton apologist is the same as a common criminal! Uh... no. And get a grip. That was just as inane as your silent Ayton dislikers lie. truth is, there was a lot wrong with that post, but I don't care to do a deep dive into it because... who cares?

I think we gets Knicks at home. they're tanking just as much as us.

Just a tidbit. The Knicks beat the Hawks on the road on February 14th.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

We suck.

We are all mad.

The life of a suns fan.

 

[82CardsGrad]

For the record, I put as much, if not more blame for Ayton getting only 8 FG attempts, on Ayton himself!
He’s got to demand the damn ball! He’s got to get into the places that make it worth getting him the damn ball!
