Suns @ Mavericks 1-9-18

[1Sun]

This time it was Jackson who had a dominant first half, followed by one bloody shot in the third quarter. Igor Kokoskov really doesn't know how to take advantage of match-ups that are working or how to counter-adjust to be able to ride the hot hand.

Five fouls on Ayton sending him to the bench.

 

[1Sun]

The Suns need to call some play to get Ayton started. There must be something in the playbook.

What playbook?

 

[BC867]

Ayton gets his first field goal ... then his 5th foul and goes to the bench.

Does anyone know if the Suns have a big man assistant coach and, if so, does he have the resume for it?

 

[Mainstreet]

Every one of those attempts were right under the basket on offensive rebounds.

They were good shots that were rushed. It happens.

It’s Corliss Williamson, aka “Big Nasty.” But he’s a 6’7 earthbound collegiate stud that wasn’t any great shakes at the nba level. The fact we don’t have a guy that specializes in centers considering he was the #1 pick in the draft is beyond me.

Aggressive team gets the calls. We have a bunch of pansies.

Warren misses a 3 pointer and Barea goes down the court and hits a 3 pointer. Six point swing.

It happens to teams that have to alibi it.

They either play stronger than their opponent or they're don't. It is all about competition.

They didn't play stronger. That is disappointing.

They didn't play stronger! That is disappointing.

There is no alibi. It happens all the time nevertheless it's frustrating when it happens.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

That is a moving screen refs

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Jackson and Oubre are basically our only hope

 

[Chris_Sanders]

And Holmes

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Who were the +/- guys? Jackson, Oubre, and Holmes .

No need to get defensive, I said he’s choking tonight. I never said he chokes in all games against Luka or something. He didn’t have a good game against the Mavs in the last one either.

I'm not defensive, I just don't get the "choking vs Luka" comment you made. He's playing poorly, has been for awhile now. I see no reason to suggest it's because of Luka, if he's choking at all it's out of fear of matching up with Jordan.

You're right. It is frustrating.

Halfway through the season and the Suns are still trying to find a rotation. That reflects on our weak GM situation. And a Head Coach too timid to rise above it.

Jones talked about how he's had offers from Garnett, Duncan, Shaq, Robinson, Olajuwon, and more to work with Ayton this summer. He said that it's been virtually every Hall of Fame big has reached out about working with Ayton, which is promising. The kid has a ton of charisma and is super likable so it's not hard to see why some older bigs would want to work with him some. Hopefully he takes them up on it or allows the Suns to schedule him a summer of fun. That was at the open practice the other day, I can find a link if necessary but I read about it on Reddit by someone from the Timeline podcast doing some coverage of James Jones spiel there.

 

[Mainstreet]

Okobo was on tonight. While he was in there I thought he could light it up if he went for it.

 

[AzStevenCal]

Warren misses a 3 pointer and Barea goes down the court and hits a 3 pointer. Six point swing.

I should have traded him at half time again.

That's great! But it will be only half of the solution if we don't have a big man coach and Head Coach who can take it from there during next season .

You would be sorry in the morning.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Warren ice cold

 

[Chris_Sanders]

And a travel. Warren is so overrated

 

[Mainstreet]

Okobo is in the game. Try to get him some looks.
