Suns @ Pistons Sunday game thread 1-16-2022

[Mainstreet]

Paul passed through Pistons player's leg.

 

[Mainstreet]

Payton in the game for Paul.

 

[Mainstreet]

Garza can shoot if Suns players don't know it.

 

[Mainstreet]

Payne with a long range dagger three.

 

[Mainstreet]

My picture is frozen. It's been starting and stopping all game. Now it's working again.

 

[Mainstreet]

Biz takes it in for 2 and getting needed playing time.

Chap, did you watch grant in college and stix in college? I did. Their games weren’t close to comparable.

Their size isn’t comparable either. Stix is like a prototypical 4 from the 90’s and pre-stretch days. 6’10, great rebounder, supposed to have a nice jumper.

Grant is 6’8, and much more of a straight scorer, who can create for himself and others, but not a great rebounder.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

What are you talking about? Who mentioned anything about Grant in college??

The suns thought stix could be grant. How would they make that comp if they didn’t know what kind of player he was in college which was more limited than what he is now. If they looked at grants game NOW and projected stix to that they’re outta their minds.

Nice curb-stomping today and getting guys a little rest before a back to back manana.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns getting Biz going. Nice block by Ish.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Ish playing outta his head today.

Even in the NBA, Grants game really isn’t much like Stix was in college. Their size is different, their skills are different. In college Stix wasn’t putting the ball on the floor and making plays like NBA Grant. And Stix was a rebounding machine whereas that’s never been a strength for Grant.

 

[Mainstreet]

Josh Jackson goes out with two technicals.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Mcgee: 20 and 6 in FIFTEEN MINUTES.

They thought that he could be like grant in the NBA. Not sure why that is so confusing.

They were obviously wrong, but we all thought Stix could be a 4 in the league and he hasn’t really achieved that.

 

[Mainstreet]

Final:

Suns 135 - Pistons 108

 

[Chaplin]

Josh Jackson goes out with two technicals.

What a waste.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Other than Ayton injury and Bridges offensive game continuing to be MIA, this was a good get-back-in-rhythm game.

 

[Mainstreet]

Some final stats.

Too bad the Cardinals and Suns games overlap tomorrow.

“We all thought that” - huh? I think we all knew that was what they intended, but I’m not sure your comment is accurate. I never thought that. I mean, I guess any player could be something they’re not. But he was very clearly a 5 in college. No handles. His game has never even remotely resembled jerami grant’s. It’s just such a head scratching comp.

 

[Mainstreet]

I'm glad the Suns have six centers if we count Saric:

Ayton
McGee
Biyombo
Smith
Kaminsky
Saric

Since the Bubble, Phoenix has a record of 92-30 in the regular season. By far the best mark in the NBA. That's a winning percent of 75.4%.

It’s hard to watch how Bridges has steadily declined. It’s almost like he’s forgotten how to play the damn game! He looks so tentative, so unsure of himself… I don’t get it.

 

[ProdigalSun]

Too bad the Cardinals and Suns games overlap tomorrow.

Actually might be a blessing if the sucky Cards show up in LA
