Suns @ Thunder Thursday game thread 2-24-2022

[Beaver]

I suppose one plus with CP out is seeing how DA will play without a HOF PG feeding him lobs. I just don't know about him.

 

[Chaplin]

Suns only need to go 12-12 to lock up the #1 seed

If we’re going to lose 12 games, one of them better not be the OkC Thunder.

With Booker playing point guard it's like missing two players: Booker and Paul.

Yup. That’s what I was saying. Point Book is pointless. It takes Cam off the bench as firepower for the second unit and neutralizes Booker as a scorer.

Where are you getting these numbers from? GS is only 6.5 games behind.

Suns need to use a point guard.

 

[Chaplin]

Jae Crowder is showing his value.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

That's clear to the basket

 

[DJ Tabooh]

Hey I’ll give Book this, if you aren’t gonna be your normal self on offense, love the effort on D. He’s improved leaps and bounds on that end.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Turrible

 

[Mainstreet]

There is Devin with the SLAM.

 

[Cheesebeef]

BOOM FOR BOOK!

 

[AzStevenCal]

This is a game Ayton should be dominating. How exactly is he sacrificing?

You still don't get it apparently. For most of us, the point was that he was being asked to sacrifice in order to make the team better.

If he'd learn to focus, play with intensity all the time we could play through him. But since he goes into fumble mode too often, we have him sacrifice his personal offense for team victories. There are a lot of big men that can average 25 points per game, that doesn't mean it's the best thing for the team.

 

[Mainstreet]

Crowder looking for a 4 point play.

Thanks for setting me straight professor. Geez.

Totally

 

[Mainstreet]

How is that a foul on Ayton?

 

[AzStevenCal]

Nice response but this isn't the first time you've tried to sneak in this dig against those of us on the other side of the conversation.

 

[Finito]

I really like SGA and Giddey

Too much dribbling and ball handling duties for Booker.

Exactly you take away your best scorer

 

[Dback Jon]

It wasn’t

 

[Chaplin]

Nice response but this isn't the first time you've tried to sneak in this dig against those of us on the other side of the conversation. But my mistake, I forgot who I was wasting my time on.

Nice. I don’t know what your problem is. Are you that insecure that you have to start this personal battle for no reason? I’m not sure lecturing me is your best play.

I’m sick of people making stupid excuses for the guy.

 

[Mainstreet]

I really like SGA and Giddey

They are both really good.

 

[AzStevenCal]

Exactly you take away your best scorer

Which is a point I've made several times about point Booker. Put a real shooting guard next to him and we can see what he can do but it's designed to fail if he has to functionally replace both Paul and himself.

 

[Cheesebeef]

BRIDGES

 

[Finito]

This guy

Again with this. Your the victim again huh
