Suns @ Thunder Friday game thread 12-20-19

[Mainstreet]

What the hell is going on with this team? All that mojo from November is gone

Suns are playing so flat. It's almost like they are going through the motions... like they expect to lose.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns with zero offensive rebounds in 1st half.

 

[Mainstreet]

Baynes doesn't look like he has much lift in the legs maybe due to previous injury. He might be better taking the outside shot than trying to score inside for the most part unless it's cleanup.

 

[Phrazbit]

With each game it becomes more and more evident that Cam Johnson is a bust.

You said his motion was too slow to even get a shot off?

You said he was a 33% shooter (while shooting 40% at the time).

With each post it becomes more and more evident that you're a troll.

 

[Mainstreet]

Baynes fouling 3 point shooter in Gallinari. smh

 

[CardsSunsDbacks]

Frank still missing a bunch of easy shots I see...

 

[Mainstreet]

It's hard to win when the Suns do not play defense.

 

[Mainstreet]

Ty Jerome is getting a chance to play.

 

[Mainstreet]

End of 3rd quarter:

Thunder 101 - Suns 91

It looks like the Ty Jerome 3 pointer at the buzzer doesn't count.

It's hard to win when the Suns do not play defense.

Well, Saric, Kaminsky, Cam and Jerome are horrible defenders, Booker is below average, and Oubre is erratic.

yup. What happened to that frantic defense that’s just effort

now it’s all gone

 

[Sunburn]

Well, Saric, Kaminsky, Cam and Jerome are horrible defenders, Booker is below average, and Oubre is erratic.

Still want to trade Bridges?

 

[Mainstreet]

Shai has 30 points thus far.

 

[Mainstreet]

Jerome is a good passer but it's hard to get assists when no one can hit a shot.

 

[Bufalay]

Still want to trade Bridges?

His trade value is approaching josh Jackson levels

 

[Phrazbit]

His trade value is approaching josh Jackson levels

lol, this post is the gem of the night; only thing more off kilter than the Suns play tonight.

 

[Mainstreet]

OKC battling each other for rebounds.

 

[Mainstreet]

Final:

Thunder 126 - Suns 108

 

[elindholm]

Baynes needs to sit for a couple of games and have his minutes go to Diallo. He's out of control, glued to the floor, and almost all of his decisions are bad.

 

[Mainstreet]

Nice game by Rubio overshadowed by the loss.

He shot 9-11 from the field for 24 points and had 8 assists with 0 turnovers.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns best chance for another win is against the Warriors on December 27th in San Francisco but every game is looking harder and harder. This team needs a lift but the chemistry seen early in the season is gone.

 

[1Sun]

Still want to trade Bridges?

If he continues to prove incapable of enough offensive aptitude to keep opposing defenses honest, then yes.

 

[1Sun]

Nice game by Rubio overshadowed by the loss.

He shot 9-11 from the field for 24 points and had 8 assists with 0 turnovers.

And played zero defense, getting lit up by both SGA and Schroeder.

 

[BC867]

So Booker, Rubio, and Baynes play like wusses? They've all been hurt this year and not a single one of them play like a wuss.

My bad. I was referring to Ayton's tentative style of play
and avoiding contact.

Booker, Rubio, Oubre and Baynes, the stars of the team
so far this season, have indeed been aggressive.

Diallo as well. I'm wondering why Monty saw him get off
to a good start, then totally banished him.

Even tonight, he had the only '+' on the team in his 8
minutes along with Bridges.

Baynes needs to sit for a couple of games and have his minutes go to Diallo. He's out of control, glued to the floor, and almost all of his decisions are bad.

At least Baynes had some rebounds and assists.

Cam Johnson, on the other hand...

I won't say he is the worst draft pick we have made. (That distinction, in my opinion, belongs to William Bedford.) However, in terms of production and promise relative to what we needed and what we could have had, Cam is reminding me a heck of a lot of our last draft pick out of UNC...
