So true.

 

[Mainstreet]

Alec Peters is the Suns leading scorer with 12 points thus far going 4-4 from the field... all 3's.

It's what I do

Halftime:

Suns 42 - Spurs 22

 

[Mainstreet]

Bridges is not exciting me as the 10th pick.

 

[Mainstreet]

End of 3rd quarter:

Suns 65 - Spurs 41

 

[Mainstreet]

Bridges reported to have a knee contusion and will not return.

He finishes with 5 points on 1-4 shooting.

Hot garbage time.

In this game or in general? I don't think many of the top prospects have lived up to their billing but I've liked what Bridges has shown so far. Unfortunately he's been outplayed by Reed, but thankfully the Suns have both of them locked in.

Really? I'm not watching this game but in the others I felt like he played really well. High shooting percentage, not forcing up garbage, not turning the ball over and playing really really good defense.

In this game Bridges mostly hung around waiting for a 3 point shot. I was hoping to see him flash something that made him standout. I didn't see it.

That's not his game. His game is playing D, and hitting the three. I find it very refreshing he knows his role unlike Warren or Jackson that force bad shots.

I'm watching the game. There was not much to see or get excited about in today's game. With the level of competition so bad, I though he might show something.

Did he stand out to you today or did you watch? A player can't always stand around and hope for an open shot.

Final:

Suns 90 - Spurs 55

Didn't watch tonight but last few games I thought they did not pass it to him enough.

I think that's a problem with how the Summer League is assembled. You have first round picks who are guaranteed spots on teams playing with guys trying to prove their place and earn a spot so they may be reluctant to get guys like Bridges and Ayton involved because they're already on the team. I'm not saying that's the cause behind them not receiving the ball or being passed to a lot because Shaq Harrison doesn't seem like a score first PG but perhaps it's something that other players think of. The 2 players Suns fans expected the most from or to have good showings were the 2 players who didn't get fed the ball very often.

I know Jackson was a bit reckless when he played but he had also earned his spot already and it was sort of a glorified pick-up game for him.

I wouldn’t mind seeing this be the score everytime we play the Spurs.

No joking.

Unfortunately it was one of the most boring games I have watched. Nothing got the adrenaline flowing today.

The garbage slop of the summer league does not favor off the ball players.

 

[Cheesebeef]

i don't need to watch this do i?

and was wrong... no reason to play Ayton in this slop.

Yep. A consolation game in summer league is about as meaningless as a game of basketball can become.

Guilty

of course you are. I'm sure Dad was too. And would have watched regardless of his procedure yesterday.

I watched about three minutes and was done.
