Suns @ Heat Saturday game thread 8-8-20 (season restart)

[BirdGangThing]

Miami is legit relentless with the fundamentals, they just play smart unselfish basketball nonstop

 

[1Sun]

Whether Warren is playing Power Forward and Booker is covering the Point,
they're both Wings and expecting to be the alpha dog on their team now.

I don't know that Victor Oladipo and Malcolm Brogdon (and Myles Turner) would agree. It us widely reported that with good coaching, Warren has bought into the team concept. He is even playing solid defense. I have no reason to believe Monty couldn't have accomplish the same here.

 

[95pro]

Wow they called a tech on the suns. Cam had a heat player near him.

 

[TJ]

And why was that? If it was Kokoskov, that problem was solved. If it was McDonough, that problem was solved. If it was James Jones, that problem could easily be solved. If it was Robert Sarver, then we're screwed no matter what happens, and Devin Booker is next.

I don’t know how many times Booker has to say that he wants to be here for people to believe it. The assertion that he wants to leave is dumb. Wake me up when he actually says he wants out.

 

[95pro]

I haven’t seen Ayton sprint down court at least once today.

Anthony Davis used to say all the time that he wanted to stay in New Orleans as well. Just saying. IF Sarver remains the problem, I can't help but think history will just keep repeating itself here. If Sarver is not the problem, there is no reason Warren shouldn't still be here.

 

[BirdGangThing]

Have a good one yall

Learn from yesterday. Live from today. Plan for tomorrow.

You're right about using the phrase "wake up".

Anyone who does not analyze possibilities and probabilities in
any (ongoing) situation should not be in (team) management.

@1Sun

Why don't you talk about Warren in the "Around the NBA thread."

 

[Mainstreet]

Jevon Carter (12) having a nice game.

 

[BC867]

@1Sun

Why don't you talk about Warren in the "Around the NBA thread."

Because he's dreaming about Warren being a Sun again.

 

[1Sun]

@1Sun

Why don't you talk about Warren in the "Around the NBA thread."

Fair point. Sorry. I just can't help but think how much better off we would be if that trade hadn't been made. I won't mention him other than in that thread anymore.

Booker is a combo guard and we signed Rubio as our PG. Have you watched the team this year? You keep talking about Devin as our PG like you can't see Rubio, which is weird.

 

[Phrazbit]

Suns must be trailing, 1Sun is present and totally derailing any rational conversation with a never ending stream of negativity.

 

[BC867]

Suns leading 88-86 at the end of 3.

Our team is becoming real.

 

[Mainstreet]

End of 3rd quarter:

Suns 88 - Heat 86

 

[JerkFace]

I am amazed we have the lead after 3. Even though we are winning I feel like the 4th quarter needs to go different than the first 3 to pull this out. This is such a weird game.

 

[Chaplin]

This is a game the Suns have to EARN. Miami May be missing key players but man, they are such a difficult team to play against. Spoeltra is a top 3 coach in this league.

That said, we have not played well but we’re staying in this.

Guess what? That is what PLAYOFF teams do. Win or lose.

The game hasn’t been great to watch but I’d submit if we pull this out it is a top 5 win this year.

 

[Phrazbit]

For those who are unaware. 1Sun has openly admitted to rooting against the team, don't try to debate with him, he is a troll.

 

[Mainstreet]

Good to see Rubio 3-pointer.

 

[Phrazbit]

Whatever Ayton ate for breakfast this morning, make sure he doesn't eat it again. He has had a couple nice dunks but seems to be a step late everywhere.

Cam Johnson continues to wow, just solid at everything.

 

[1Sun]

For those who are unaware. 1Sun has openly admitted to rooting against the team, don't try to debate with him, he is a troll.

Once again, you are taking my previous posts out of context. Project much?...

 

[95pro]

Olynyk they’re not going to call a foul on the pass LOL

 

[BC867]

For those who are unaware. 1Sun has openly admitted to rooting against the team, don't try to debate with him, he is a troll.

1Sun's problem in the past has been style.

He has made a lot of valid points about why
the Suns, until recently, have been so dismal.

Kill the messenger who brings the bad news.

That the owner, and his constant turnover
of management and players, and pretending
to be an NBA expert, have resulted in failure
for over a decade.

 

[95pro]

Still goes up soft

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns hurt when Ayton is not in the game. They need his presence on defense and rebounding.
