Suns @ Spurs 1-29-19

[Mainstreet]

Halftime:

Spurs 70- Suns 67

 

[Mainstreet]

Pretty good first half. They have to get those turnovers under control.

This is what gets frustrating. Hopefully when the Suns get a starter at point guard turnovers will go way down.

 

[Proximo]

The difference in performance this game is just their 3point shooting.

They need to ramp up the defense in the second half to have any chance to win.

I know it's basketball 101 but the Suns are a much better team with the 3pt shot falling. Really opens up the game for them, and prevents long rebounds all the time.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Spurs only had 2 turnovers in the first half while the Suns had 10 leading to 15 Spurs points.

 

[Suns_fan69]

I think Bridges is starting to turn the corner as a player.

So far he has 8 points in the first half hitting two 3 pointers.

Nice to see him attack the rim and have success there, including a nice pass to Holmes

Yes. This is the next step and not rely entirely on the 3 point shot.

 

[SirStefan32]

Bridges with a drive to the hoop and a perfect pass to Booker who nails another three.

 

[Mainstreet]

Booker is headed for a big night with 25 points and 4 assists.

 

[Mainstreet]

Derrick White is playing fantastic with 15 points for the Spurs.

 

[Mainstreet]

Holmes picks up 4th personal foul which is not good news for the Suns.

 

[Mainstreet]

Spurs pump it up to a 9 point lead that quick, lead 89 -80.

 

[SirStefan32]

Spurs are such a disciplined team. You make a mistake, they will punish you. It's a miracle that the Suns are not down by 30 with how many turnovers they've had.

 

[GatorAZ]

Cavs win!

So true. The Suns were focused and lost it quickly.

 

[Mainstreet]

Booker now with 32 points.

 

[Mainstreet]

End of 3rd quarter:

Spurs 96 - Suns 91

 

[Mainstreet]

Booker is a two-on-one fast break.

 

[sdscard4]

Having to stomach Igor or watching Rocky 4? I'll just go back and forth

 

[SirStefan32]

The last two calls were awful.

 

[sdscard4]

Should have been backcourt

 

[Mainstreet]

The last two calls were awful.

Booker wasn't allowed to come down on that one play.

 

[sunsfan88]

I’m not saying we’ll be a contender or even a playoff team but man with a competent guard alongside Booker, this team could be competitive on most nights and that would be multiple tiers above where this team is now.

 

[Mainstreet]

Ugh. Holmes fouls out.

 

[Mainstreet]

Bridges with the drive for the basket. Great to see.
