Suns @ Pacers Saturday game thread 1-9-2021

[BC867]

Again the Suns wearing their home whites on the road.

I hope it gives them extra confidence.

Especially with Cam Payne out.

 

[Mainstreet]

And Bridges with the 3-pointer. Nice start for him.

 

[Mainstreet]

Pacers driving it to the basket and getting close-in shots.

Bridges is on fire.

Pacers lead 21-19.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

We have zero rim protection, are allowing deep postup, and drives to the hole with impunity.

 

[Mainstreet]

Bridges (6-8) for 15 points.

Ugh hope not another no show by ayton

Goid early start for bridges

 

[Mainstreet]

We have zero rim protection, are allowing deep postup, and drives to the hole with impunity.

Suns can get stuck shooting 3s while opponents drive it inside.

Ayton had a good look early but came up short.

 

[Mainstreet]

End of 1st quarter:

Pacers 32 - Suns 30

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

I think someone forgot to tell Ayton what time game started.

 

[BC867]

So we're weak in the post on both defense and offense, whether domin(???)Ayton or Dario.

 

[Finito]

No defense at all tonight

 

[Mainstreet]

I think someone forgot to tell Ayton what time game started.

Sometimes I forget he is in the game.

 

[Mainstreet]

So we're weak in the post on both defense and offense, whether domin(???)Ayton or Dario.

I'm more forgiving of Dario because he has athletic limitations.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Ayton’s disengagement helped us that time!

 

[Mainstreet]

There we go. Cam from 3.

 

[BC867]

I'm more forgiving of Dario because he has athletic limitations.

I can't fault him either. Just the Coach who plays him at Center. Him or Deandre. Even though finesse Center is in the Suns' DNA.

 

[Mainstreet]

Cam playing good defense tonight.

 

[Mainstreet]

I can't fault him either. Just the Coach who plays him at Center. Him or Deandre. Even though finesse Center is in the Suns' DNA.

Suns don't have a lot of better backup options than Dario at the 4/5.

 

[BC867]

Book is playing Point Guard.

Suns lead the NBA in OOP -- Out of Position.

That's on the GM ... and the Managing Partner. As they say, you don't have to alibi success.

Cam Payne is out. Give me a break!!!

 

[Finito]

A lot of hot potato tonight with the ball you shoot it no you shoot it

 

[Mainstreet]

Bridges slams that down.

 

[BC867]

Finally, at the 3-minute mark of the 2nd quarter, CP3 is back playing the Point.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Ayton makes Boris Diaw look like Kobe Bryant as far as aggressiveness is concerned.
