Suns @ Hornets 1-19-18

[Mainstreet]

Time waits for no one as the Suns face the Hornets at 3 p.m. on Saturday Arizona time. The game will be televised on FSAZ.

Worst yet, after the Hornets the Suns play the Timberwolves on Sunday to finish up back-to-back games. This will conclude the Suns four game road trip.

The Hornets (21-23) are playing well having won their last two games against the Spurs and Kings.

Of course the Suns (11-35) are coming off a heart breaking loss to the Raptors 111-109 on Thursday night.

Jamal Crawford is questionable for the Hornets game.

No one seems to want to ask what is going on with Jamal Crawford and missing games for "personal reasons."

Does anybody really care?

The thought has crossed my mind the Suns want to give Okobo more playing time.

Having 3 reasons why he's missed games like that tweet says makes it seem odd. I wish it meant more Troy Daniels but I've about given up on seeing him become part of the rotation. When he was seeing more time last year I thought he was a budget version of Jamal Crawford so I think it's odd that we're not using him to fill the role that Crawford himself has played for us.

Problem with Crawford and Daniels is the team composition. Second unit consist of five defensive players. That's how they get back into games. If you throw either of them in there, that falls apart. We've seen a few instances where they score in bunches, but if their shots are not falling, they destroy the second unit's effectiveness.

Ayton and Holmes need to tighten their defense. LOL

Igor's passing it on point. He might be the best passer on the team.

And his defense, bad is may be, is still better than Booker's Warren's and Ayton's (most nights).

Does anybody really know what time it is?

The game is under way with the Raptors leading 4-0.

 

[Mainstreet]

Hornets stretch the lead to 14-3. A slow start could bury the Suns early.

 

[Mainstreet]

Warren gets a much needed basket with a drive down the middle of the lane.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns did not come out ready to play. They trail 21-5.

 

[Mainstreet]

Warren gets a lot of criticism but he is the Suns inside game right now.

Suns trail 21-9 with Hornets at free throw line.

Ayton with two personal fouls.
