Suns @ Warriors Friday game thread 12-3-2021

[Chaplin]

With play like tonight, now I can see why Payne was out of the league at one point.

Come on. He’s having a bad game but this is the exception not the rule.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

if he can make 3's at even a decent clip it's huge. Once Klay gets back his minutes will drop but if he can make 3's he'll still have a role.

his toughness is huge off the bench

If he can shoot he’s a stud.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Holy crap Ayton is a puss

 

[Finito]

Legs are just gone

You can tell this team is gassed

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Payton is a great defender, but that hand on Paul’s hip riding the entire drive is a foul.

 

[Russ Smith]

GP2 send it home!

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

I can’t stand every time Ayton goes soft and calls for a foul. Even if he’s fouled I want him to shut his face if he went soft. It’s his own fault.

 

[Yuma]

We are getting racked up now.

 

[Raindog]

Come on. He’s having a bad game but this is the exception not the rule.

Payne is showing exactly why he is at best, a bench role player.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Ayton clowning himself.

 

[Russ Smith]

If he can shoot he’s a stud.

In the first half Kerr got mad at him for the foul on Cp3 but then talked to him about it. good coaching I need your heart but be smart

As opposed to what?

 

[Yuma]

CP3 looks tired tonight, too

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Get Paul off the court.

 

[TJ]

CP3 looks tired tonight, too

They’re all cooked

 

[Proximo]

This may not be bad in the long run.

suns now know they have to get better.

 

[Russ Smith]

Christmas is going to be a great game I hope Booker is right these are the 2 best teams in the NBA right now

 

[CardsSunsDbacks]

The only thing that annoys me is that the media will use this to say "I told you so". Doubt they will consider any sort of context. Though that's not necessarily a bad thing for the team to continue to be under the radar.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Why are we putting more minutes on Paul with book out???

 

[Russ Smith]

CP3 looks tired tonight, too

yep back to back is just not fair when you have a marquee game. I guess to be fair the NBA had no idea the Warriors would be 18-3 when they scheduled that game

 

[Raindog]

As opposed to what?

Anybody who should be playing more than spot minutes or being looked at as a long term replacement for Paul.

 

[Chaplin]

52 more seconds and Monty will clear the bench.

I think that's overrated the players know. Literally in pre game the W's announcers were saying part of the plan was to speed it up because the Suns were playing back to back and would get tired. The W's know this is the best team they've played all year

 

[Mainstreet]

I'm surprised Payton hasn't played more although outside shooting is not what he does best.

 

[Chaplin]

Huh? Spot minutes? Are you serious? And pretty sure nobody here has claimed he is the long term replacement for CP.

What an emotionally ridiculous take.
