Suns @ Trail Blazers Tuesday game thread 12-14-2021

[Chaplin]

Ayton looks good.

 

[Mainstreet]

McGee in for Ayton.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Strong start from DA tonight.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Autin lost 10lbs with flu.

 

[Chaplin]

Ayton had the flu, they just said in the broadcast. Lost 10 lbs.

 

[Mainstreet]

Timeout with Suns leading 22-14.

 

[Chaplin]

Decent start

 

[Cheesebeef]

And Bridges can’t shoot.

Really disappointed with the lack of any progression of his offensive game... and actually a bit of regression aggression-wise this season.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Decent start

Yeah. This looks like the Suns.

Last night they just had too many guys out.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

I will never understand how bad ESPN’s technology is. Their math is always wrong. Go look at the FG stats, do the math, and look at the percentages they have listed. They’re wrong for both teams. Weird.

 

[Mainstreet]

Jae for three!

 

[Cheesebeef]

Man, Payton is just TERRIBLE.

I think it lags behind the FG stats. Like it was showing the percentage for 6-16 when it was 6-17. Math isn't wrong, but just isn't in sync with the other numbers for some reason. Unless you are seeing something different.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Disappointed that cam, Bridges haven’t stepped up their rebounding.

 

[Mainstreet]

Cam Johnson with high arcing three.

 

[Chaplin]

Disappointed that cam, Bridges haven’t stepped up their rebounding.

By the team stats, we are 15th in the league at rebounding. We’re not bad, just average.

That’s probably it. But why would it lag? You’d think as soon as the stat feeds it would update everywhere on the page virtually simultaneously.

 

[Chaplin]

12 minutes of play that has been better than all 48 last night.

 

[Mainstreet]

End of 1st quarter:

Suns 32 - Trail Blazers 21

 

[Cheesebeef]

McGee looks a step slow tonight

 

[Chaplin]

McGee looks a step slow tonight

Tired from playing a lot of minutes last night?

 

[Mainstreet]

Paul and Bridges scoreless in 1st quarter.

We are a pretty good team rebounding team. But those two are just kinda meh on the boards.

Also interesting, go look at cam Johnson’s stats. It’s amazing how consistent they are almost across the board for his first three years. He came in as a prettt good rookie, but he hasn’t elevated any part of his game statistically. He’s a better defender and has improved driving. But the results are remarkably the same over three seasons.

And shamet, yeesh.

 

[Raindog]

Still trying to solve the mystery of what the Suns thought was so great about Shamet.

Did you notice what his minutes look like? I imagine they haven’t changed that much either.
