Suns @ Mavericks Saturday game thread 1-30-2021

Looks like Frank’s deal with the devil was only for one game. Yikes.

End of 1st quarter:

Suns 29 - Mavericks 28

Maybe the most we can hope for is point Frank. I hope Ayton is okay.

Here is the video of Ayton injury.

There we go Frank.

 

[Chaplin]

My first thought on Ayton was that he dislocated his shoulder.

 

[Mainstreet]

Ayton back in the game.

My first thought on Ayton was that he dislocated his shoulder.

That was scary.

 

[Mainstreet]

The contrast on my televsion is having trouble distinguishing the color of uniforms on full court views.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Ayton’s hands...

 

[Cheesebeef]

Cam Johnson has been real quiet the last five or six games

 

[Chaplin]

Ayton’s hands...

What hands?

 

[Cheesebeef]

What hands?

lol... again. Jeez Louise!

 

[Chaplin]

You’d think Monty would recognize that if you make a pass to Ayton’s waist or below it’s a guaranteed turnover. We see it over and over in every single game.

 

[Mainstreet]

A reoccurring theme but the Suns really need a power forward to play inside.

Tell me how that will work with Ayton? It’s why we never had a second down low player during Amares tenure here.

 

[Chaplin]

When the Suns fast break good things happen. Amazing how we don’t capitalize on it.

Halftime:

Suns 55 - Mavericks 55

So you don't think Jerami Grant or Christian Wood would work?

He hasn't been the same since moving into the starting lineup.

I have no idea how we are tied at the half considering how badly we've played

Paul doesnt like to play this style. I think it's madness to allow the D to set itself and not push the break.

 

[Chaplin]

We weren’t going to get either of those guys. Grant especially wouldn’t have signed here. Wood probably wouldn’t have either BECAUSE of Ayton.

CP3 isn’t an idiot. He could adapt if he needed to.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Entertaining enough first half. Feels like a preseason game.

The point is there are power forwards that could play with Ayton.
