Suns @ Bucks Sunday game thread 2-2-20

[Yuma]

He thought about it.

That was a nice dime!

 

[Yuma]

So now both Lecque and Owens got to see NBA speed and know it is NOT what they are seeing in G League. They know they have to think, react, and practice their moves at a higher speed.

Oubre is pissing me off these days

 

[Yuma]

That move of Booker's where he is turning it over, I banned when I coached my kid's teams. Never throw the ball backwards. I'd rather them jack it off the board if they get caught in the air. Most of Booker's turn overs he gets caught in the air and tries to pass backwards.

THIS THIS. This is the play I kept harping about in another thread. It's not just Booker. It's a huge chunk of how they setup up Ayton down low. Drive down the middle pass it backwards or toss up back to Ayton. Sooooo many turnovers using that method. I don't see many other plays where guys are getting into position or running pick and rolls. It's mostly the same move...over and over.

It's driving me nuts.

His next dish to Ayton will be his first this season..(it seems)

Agreed! If the ball is not turned over, and the shot is missed, you now have a smaller guy at the boards, and a big guy trying to cover faster guards on a run out.

Put Lecque back in the game. I want that dunk.

Final:

Bucks 129 - Suns 108

 

[Yuma]

Now on to the Super Bowl!

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Eddies right, Ayton doesn't play with enough bad intentions in the paint. Not nearly enough.

His new name should be soft serve.

 

[Sunstroke]

Hate the outcome but liked the effort for 4 quarters. Sun's just out manned today.
Go Suns.

Book also telegraphs a ton of passes. I usually see his turnovers coming in advance . . . that’s how bad they are.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

10-27 with ZERO free throw. TWENTY SEVEN SHOTS AND NEVER DREW A FOUL. Let that sink in.

 

[Mainstreet]

Diallo gave the Suns a good game with 11 points and 7 rebounds.

 

[leclerc]

Need to give Ayton plenty more time to get experience and confidence. Get stronger and work on some basics this summer. We've seen what he can do. We should cut him some slack and try to be constructive for the rest of the season. Doubt we'll make the playoffs, but it would be great to still have a chance in April. Oh well, on to the next game.

I hope JJ does not sit on his (or squeaky Bobby Sarver's) hands on the deadline. Need to improve the team and show everyone he's trying and that they (FO) give two ehrm, flocks.

My bigger worry remains Booker checking out mentally after the All-Star snub...

They had a bunch of stiffs guarding him too.

 

[Cheesebeef]

man... thank God Ayton had that one huge game against the Mavs because the five sandwhiched around it have been really disappointing, especially coming on the heels of his three game run of really good games before that.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Also Ayton’s defense sucked ass again today. Anytime soft serve switches into a guard just chalk up the 3. He plays so far off he concedes the three routinely. There was a sequence where he switched into Bledsoe, bled just dribbled a little bit at the three point stripe, never threatened to drive (so no need for Ayton to retreat) and then just busted a trey in soft serve’s late reacting face. That was followed by a brick shot at the offensive by Ayton. And that was followed by Ayton letting devincenzo drive into his chest to draw a foul. In other words a second heaping helping of soft serve in a row. His numbers in this game lie. He was awful again tonight.

Yeah sounds good. Let’s go soft on the soft guy. That’ll harden him.

 

[Mainstreet]

Just realized Jevon Carter had 15 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 steals. Job well done.

 

[GatorAZ]

Richaun Holmes is averaging 13/8 in 29 minutes, 69 TS and leads Sac in +/-

I did not see that coming...

 

[Mainstreet]

I'm guessing Ayton might get fined for these comments about the officiating.

In multiple postgame interview answers, Deandre Ayton repeated that he was not happy with tonight's officiating in a 128-109 loss at Milwaukee. "I just don’t like how these refs called the game tonight…I’m putting it on them." #Suns
