Suns @ Pacers Saturday game thread 1-9-2021

Nice to see that aggression from Devin.

 

[Mainstreet]

Halftime:

Suns 56 - Pacers 53

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

That was a putrid end of the half.

 

[Carolinacacti]

No turnovers, is that correct.

 

[BC867]

Suns opened up a 6-point lead with Chris Paul back in.

But the Pacers' 3-pointer cut it to 3 at the half.

I hope the Suns can open up a lead in the 3rd quarter
to take us through the rest of the game.

With Cam Payne out, it's on the starters.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Ayton’s game tonight is putrid. He’s limited sabonis offensively but can’t keep him off the boards and has done ZERO offensively. He’s a tremendous disappointment.

 

[Carolinacacti]

100% from the line fixing things from last night. Wait only two....

 

[95pro]

Stream to watch? Crackstreams and jefans not working

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns really need to hit on Jalen Smith. They need his size and athleticism in the worst way.

 

[BC867]

Ayton’s game tonight is putrid. He’s limited sabonis offensively but can’t keep him off the boards and has done ZERO offensively. He’s a tremendous disappointment.

Sad to say, but he is what he is. Playing offense like a Guard.
Afraid of contact. Inconsistent scoring from game to game.

It appears to be not about potential. It is about attitude.
And his small hands. After 2 1/2 seasons, can he redefine
himself? So far, the answer is . . . evidently not.

With 14 lead changes so far, this game is too close to not
be concerned about.

Eddie just touched on it.

 

[Mainstreet]

Bridges is still hot as he hits another 3.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

I’m embarrassed for auton

 

[Mainstreet]

Crowder does a good job of driving to the basket.

 

[Mainstreet]

Sabonis starting to work the Suns over inside.

 

[Mainstreet]

No Devin.... yes!

 

[Cheesebeef]

Nice play Book.

 

[BC867]

At the 8:42 mark of the 3rd quarter, Ayton scores his first points.

On a jump shot.

I've been watching him on every play. The way he moves and
where he stations himself personifies weakness. It's sad!

 

[Mainstreet]

Ayton with the tip-in.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns have no answer for Sabonis.

He has 19 points and 18 rebounds.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Man they’re just picking us apart surgically. So many easy shots at the rim.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

It’s starting to look more and more like early season fools gold like last year.

 

[Sunstroke]

Has Ayton been at the line...this season?

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Suns have no answer for Sabonis.

But DominAYT-ed. . .

 

[Cheesebeef]

Like... this is a competitive game, but there is just nothing exciting me watching it. The only emotion I’ve felt so far as just to be pissed at how pathetic Ayton is.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Can you imagine if Ayton had 1/2 of Sabonis’ aggression?
