Suns @ Pelicans Friday game thread 2-19-2021

[Proximo]

This team is really a bad matchup for us. Ingram and Zion can slash us to death.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Just stop.

Sure. I sincerely hope it's just coaching and there is some light at the end of this frustrating tunnel

 

[Mainstreet]

Players shoot right over the top of Ayton.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

We love making Lonzo look like his hype tape

 

[Mainstreet]

That's the way Frank.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

I don't care what happens. Frank with the behind the back dribble drive with a spin to the lay up is the play of the night. Keep it up tank!

 

[Chaplin]

My point is that it’s not JUST the player. Especially this player. We’ve seen the tools, he just can’t put it together. Part of it is motivation, but where is that motivation supposed to come from? Why can’t he put it together? Coaching is a big part of the answer to both those questions. Not the WHOLE answer, but part of it nonetheless.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

What do you think? If he’s supposed to be teaching him about “physical post play,” he’s doing a terrible job at it.

And you if all people have little room to lecture me about what I don’t know about Deandre Ayton.

A) you can lead a horse to water but a puss is a puss.
B) I’m not lecturing anyone, but go ahead and try to start a personal argument, not feeling it tonight.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

No foul? Booker gets zero respect

 

[Mainstreet]

Ingram drives right down the middle of the lane.

 

[Chaplin]

A) you can lead a horse to water but a puss is a puss.

Your grasp of the scientific nomenclature is mind boggling.

B) I’m not lecturing anyone, but go ahead and try to start a personal argument, not feeling it tonight.

Ok your honor.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

That means absolutely nothing outside of you just calling him names. Not productive at all.

Better to question how and why? And how to fix it. Are the coaches seeing what we are seeing or what?

Monty has made numerous comments about in the past. I think it likely he’s not just talking to the press about it.

Ok you’re right. The coaching is perfect.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

This team is really a bad matchup for us. Ingram and Zion can slash us to death.

Yup. We have neither the size nor athleticism to stop that one-two punch.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Players shoot right over the top of Ayton.

I’ve been saying this for weeks. He doesn’t close out effectively.

 

[Mainstreet]

I’ve been saying this for weeks. He doesn’t close out effectively.

And if he does, they drive around him.

Dude, motivation has to come from within. If you’re relying on it coming from coaches or other players it will always be short lived. That’s not just basketball. That’s in all things.

Sigh. Ok. Can’t talk to someone if they don’t listen.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

And now missing big FTs. Pelicans are the Sun's Rams

 

[Chris_Sanders]

There you go Cam!

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Ok you’re right. The coaching is perfect.

Hyperbole. Never said that. All we know is monty has commented about it and what we see on the court. We know monty wants him more aggressive. We know he’s not. We don’t know anything else for certain.

 

[Mainstreet]

Cam Johnson finally hits a shot.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Sigh. Ok. Can’t talk to someone if they don’t listen.

I am literally responding to every word you are typing. What am I not listening to?

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Typical dumb frustration foul by book. He’s got to mature outta that

 

[Mainstreet]

Four personal fouls is major trouble in the 3rd quarter.
