Suns @ Hornets 1-19-18

[Evil Ash]

Too many times on d, players get caught staring at the ball and leave their guys wide open (Booker and Warren are especially bad at this)

 

[Mainstreet]

It’s so crystal clear what this team needs....

1. A PG
2. A PF

Right now, when Ayton gets pulled away from the paint on defense, or if he’s simply stepping out to provide help, we literally have nobody who can drop back and protect the rim or the paint...
painful to watch.

This is something we can all agree about.

 

[Mainstreet]

Ayton needs to protect the rim foremost on defense.

 

[Evil Ash]

Ayton has 1 rebound halfway through the 3rd qtr. 1. Unacceptable

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns should play Holmes and Ayton together to see if it works. They need to find answers this season.

Honestly, at this point, I'd be open to Bender or even Anderson at 4 for a while.

It couldn't hurt nut I'm not sure if either could do much though.

If I were a player like Faried I would prefer going to a team like the Suns that might be willing to pay more on the next contract.

JJ fouls a three-point shooter in the last second of the quarter, after jacking up a shot too early on the other end.

 

[slinslin]

Booker has 0 rebounds in 30 min..

 

[Mainstreet]

End of 3rd quarter:

Hornets 109 - Suns 86

 

[SirStefan32]

Booker has 0 rebounds in 30 min..

And Ayton has 2.

Jj continues to show why I think he should be the first of our players traded. You can't fix stupidity

He has 2 and played 20min

JJ fouls a three-point shooter in the last second of the quarter, after jacking up a shot too early on the other end.

IMO, he’s a wasted first round pick. He can’t shoot from the field or at the line. He turns the ball over... and he’s average at best on defense.

 

[Evil Ash]

He has 2 and played 20min

I posted that before he got his 2nd one. Hes over 7 foot tall. He should get at least 5 by sheer accident

 

[Mainstreet]

Oubre with the nice lay-in.

 

[Mainstreet]

Acy almost got his first basket.

 

[SirStefan32]

Acy almost got his first basket.

Speaking of people I'd like to see at 4 over Warren, that's another one.

The Suns are losing this game on the boards. Being out-rebounded by 20+ is a huge part of why we are losing this game.

Acey became our leading rebounder in about 5 mins of playing time. I don't think much else needs to be said

It couldn't hurt.

However, I do want Acy to score a basket this season.

Hornets 14-29 from 3 vs Suns 8-24 is a 18pt difference ...

Doesn’t help that we’re 8 of 24 from 3 pt land... while the Hornets are shooting over 48% on their 3 pointers...

 

[Mainstreet]

I so wish Cotton were here to tell the Suns how to rebuild this team.

 

[Mainstreet]

A Bender sighting.
