Warriors @ Suns Wednesday game thread 2-12-20

[95pro]

Rush Ayton back, that’s what he deserves for screwing the whole season up

 

[Mainstreet]

New signing Jonah Bolden into the game.

 

[Mainstreet]

Bolden looks athletic. He moves well.

 

[Mainstreet]

End of 1st quarter:

Suns 34 - Warriors 24

 

[Mainstreet]

Okobo turns his ankle by stepping on the foot of Warriors player. He may not be back.

Now he goes to the locker room.

I’m fine with that

 

[Mainstreet]

Okobo didn't stay out long as he is back in the game.

 

[Hoop Head]

Okobo turns his ankle by stepping on the foot of Warriors player. He may not be back.

Now he goes to the locker room.

Somebody needs to speak with the Basketball Gods and explain that when people wanted to see the Suns catch a break they meant have things go their way for a change, not physically break all of the players.

 

[Mainstreet]

Too bad Chriss didn't develop with the Suns.

 

[GatorAZ]

Chriss has matured. No longer flexing after every dunk and staring at everyone.

 

[Mainstreet]

Halftime:

Suns 58 - Warriors 50

 

[Mainstreet]

Warriors collect all this young talent. When Curry and Klay return they are going to be hard to beat.

Eddie was very vocal about the many players wearing low-top sneakers
and the turned ankles. It seems so obvious, I wonder if there are any
disadvantages to wearing high-tops.

 

[Mainstreet]

I hope Bolden is one of those players the Suns keep to see what they have. He moves so well.

Players may feel high top sneakers limit their mobility but I hope Ayton gives the high tops a look as this is at least his second sprained ankle this season.

 

[Phrazbit]

There is the Chriss I remember...

How do you blow that dunk? Especially THAT bad...

 

[Mainstreet]

I bet slinslin is somewhere saying he was right about Chriss.

 

[Sunburn]

There's no definitive evidence that high tops prevent ankle sprains any better than low tops in basketball. Here's an article on it.

[Mainstreet]

Bolden gets his first basket as a Suns player.

Well, certainly to the extent that Chriss is better than Bender, he was correct. Chriss has developed into a sub par reserve, Bender is rapidly on his way to Europe or China.

 

[Mainstreet]

Well, certainly to the extent that Chriss is better than Len, he was correct. Chriss has developed into a sub par reserve, Len is rapidly on his way to Europe or China.

IIRC, the comparison was mostly Bender versus Chriss.

 

[BirdGangThing]

Who is this Cam Johnson guy and what has he done with the other Cam Johnson?

 

[Mainstreet]

Cam says there you go.

 

[sdscard4]

Who is this Cam Johnson guy and what has he done with the other Cam Johnson?

But he's not an NBA player. Cant get off a shot...a bust...worst 1st rd pick ever....lol

Whoops, I meant to say Bender in my post.

Bender is on his way to Europe or China.
