Suns @ Spurs Friday game thread 1-24-20

[Mainstreet]

Where has this Suns defense been?

 

[Chris_Sanders]

The last thing I want with this level of effort is halftime

 

[Mainstreet]

The Stern's have what 10 points this quarter?

10 it is!

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Apparently Booker is the hulk and the mearest touch will launch you 10 ft

 

[Mainstreet]

Oubre getting his 3rd personal foul right before halftime.

 

[Mainstreet]

Halftime:

Suns 56 - Spurs 44

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Oubre playing like Marion tonight

Anyone notice that this team is 9-10 on the road (a win tonight from being .500)? The suns are the only team in the league with a road record that good that has an overall losing record.

This is not the way it is supposed to work. They need to figure out the answer.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns only have 5 points off the bench, Bridges 2 and Jerome 3.

 

[Mainstreet]

Now Ayton with 3 personal fouls.

 

[Mainstreet]

Bridges in for Oubre who picks up his 4th foul.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

3-9 no FTs

 

[Mainstreet]

End of 3rd quarter:

Suns 78 - Spurs 72

Suns bench still only has 5 points. If they lose, that's a big part of the story.

Spurs bench has 22 points.

I hope the Arena model goes a long way to change it.

In the season opener the energy level was pretty good, but the last one I went to the atmosphere didn't pick up until the final few minutes.

It's just dead in there, waaaaaaaaaaaay too brightly lit, their sound system is just constantly droning stuff that the crowd ignores, probably because it's played so often you can't help but tune it out. Whoever runs the PA doesn't seem to understand the tempo of the game. But my biggest complaint is the brightness, it is jarring and I did read that they are totally redoing the lighting, trying to replicate the theater style lighting of places like the Garden.

I see Saric is having his Alex Len like one good game in 5 or 6.

Outside of that Booker and Oubre are carrying the team.

Very disappointed in Ayton and the bench.

 

[Phrazbit]

Saric is quietly having a solid game.

 

[Phrazbit]

Can that court level camera angle never happen again? That was awful.

 

[Phrazbit]

Booker is just... unreal.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns trying to win without scoring from the bench. Only 5 points with 7:02 to go.

 

[Mainstreet]

Booker clobbered in the head. No call.

 

[Mainstreet]

Officiating is terrible.

 

[TJ]

Refs still give us zero respect.

 

[Phrazbit]

poo... Oubre knocked in the exact same spot he was when he got his concussion...

 

[Mainstreet]

Bridges should have shot the ball.
