Suns @ Hawks Wednesday game thread 5-5-2021

[AzStevenCal]

Bored so I thought I'd beat the tipoff with a non-sports related trivia question.

What do these states have in common - Arizona, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Michigan, Mississippi, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, South Carolina and Texas?

Spoiler

They all have a city or town named Phoenix.

 

[Mainstreet]

Bridges with the layup drive to tie the game at 2-2.

 

[Mainstreet]

Ayton with a couple of early dunks.

 

[Mainstreet]

Ayton picks up first foul with 6:29 in 1st.

Suns lead 19-17.

 

[Proximo]

This game looks like it’s going to be tough.

hopefully our bench shows up.

It doesn't surprise me about Illinois. They have a lot of cities and towns with Egyptian type names.

It is going to be tough. If you ignore records and just compare rosters, this is anyone's game.

 

[Mainstreet]

Cam Johnson with the put back.

 

[Mainstreet]

Bridges with a couple of needless fouls against Young.

 

[Mainstreet]

Young creating a lot of ticky-tack fouls that I wish the referees wouldn't call.

 

[Mainstreet]

Frank fouled taking the ball inside. He makes 1-2 free throws.

 

[Mainstreet]

End of 1st quarter:

Hawks 42 - Suns 38

Hawks shoot 7-10 (70%) from 3-point range.

 

[Mainstreet]

Cam Johnson has to hit open 3s.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Looks like zero defense being played.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns trail 52-44 with 8:04 in 2nd.

 

[Proximo]

Cam is killing us with his 3 point bricks.

 

[Mainstreet]

Much needed 3 by Carter.

 

[CardsSunsDbacks]

Cam is killing us with his 3 point bricks.

It's just getting weird at this point. Way too good of a shooter to be missing this many.

 

[Mainstreet]

Cam Payne 3 ties it after the Suns trailed by 10.

 

[Mainstreet]

Booker is not getting any calls while Young gets everything.

 

[Mainstreet]

Halftime:

Hawks 67 - Suns 65

How the referees didn't give the Booker the shooting foul I have no idea.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Cam being this abysmal with Crowder out sucks. If Crowder misses playoff time and Cam keeps building houses out there, we are gonna have problems with good teams.

Least suns staying close after hard cavs gm hope gm goes well in 2nd half

 

[CardsSunsDbacks]

Cam being this abysmal with Crowder out sucks. If Crowder misses playoff time and Cam keeps building houses out there, we are gonna have problems with good teams.

I just can't imagine him not snapping out of it. Just way too good of a shooter to keep this up for much longer.

 

[Mainstreet]

With Cam Johnson's shooting so cold the Suns really miss Crowder and Nader.
