Knicks @ Suns 3-6-19

[Folster]

This may be out first blow out win of the season.

 

[HeHasRosen]

At this point Alonzo Trier looks like a better player than Josh Jackson

 

[Mainstreet]

Getting actual NBA players instead of Jackson and Bender will be the first step to being a decent team.

Jackson is so bad it is unreal. I can‘t understand what McDonough or his fans on this board ever saw in him.

Two nondescript trades leads to Oubre and Johnson.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Booker is looking more and more like he has quit on the team.

this post aged well... especially after the previous two games as well.

 

[Cheesebeef]

stoked to see that we might have come out slow, but turned the after-burners on on another bad team to hopefully extend this run!

 

[Finito]

Omg feed Book I wanna see 50

Jackson was my number 1 in that draft. Plenty of people were high on him

He is having a bad game, but he has had plenty of good games of late as well.

 

[slinslin]

When you see a wing prospect from Kansas just assume they are busts

Josh Jackson, Andrew Wiggins, Xavier Henry, Brandon Rush, Ben McLemore, Julian Wright - all lottery busts

 

[Mainstreet]

Let Booker get his 40 and get him out of there.

Not surprisingly we have started winning games again as soon as his playing time went down.

 

[Mainstreet]

There we go. Booker with 41 points.

 

[Finito]

Ugly 1st but after that all Suns

Great win tonight. I don’t care about the #1 pick at all honestly

 

[Mainstreet]

Final:

Suns 107 - Knicks 96

Solid win over the Knicks.

 

[SunnyBaller]

This team is looking like they're ready to recreate that magical win streak they had earlier in the year!

 

[SirStefan32]

Nice win!

Just let that sink, slight negative on defense AND probably historically bad on offense.

That minus on offense alone is the difference between 15 10-point losses or wins.

Yep. If JJ played for any other team we’d be calling him trash.

Notice I said of late. He had an insanely poor start to the season that is dragging that down. He has been significantly better since around the new year.

Not according to statistics, which is all slin looks at. He doesn't watch the games.

It would very much depend on what we see when we play against him. He has had plenty of games in 2019 that I assume had opposing fans thinking he was quite good.

Jackson had a +12 tonight.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Necessary win imo. All season we’ve tended to show up against the best teams (or, admittedly, get blown out). But we’ve been pretty poor against bad and mediocre teams. Nice to beat a team we should be expected to beat if we are getting better.

Nice to see book kick some butt.

I agree. Its nice to see Book playing like Book.

 

[SirStefan32]

Booker looked great out there. I really like that Oubre and Johnson contributed quite a bit. Ayton was not great, JJ was off, and Bridges never got into a rhythm of any sort due to constantly being in foul trouble, but they found a way to win.
