[Proximo]

Dame abusing Bridges

He’s abusing everyone.

he’s just having one of those dame time games

 

[Chaplin]

Eddie’s right, just take away the three and trust the rim defenders. Can’t let Dame go off on 3s.

 

[Mainstreet]

I see Cam Johnson on the bench.

I’m sorry it’s not possible to take away the 3 when someone is as hot as he is.

 

[Proximo]

Dumb foul DA.

 

[Mainstreet]

And Cam Johnson is back in the game.

 

[Chaplin]

I’m sorry it’s not possible to take away the 3 when someone is as hot as he is.

Then why guard him at all? Make him makes some decisions other than just shoot.

Just saying there is no defense for a white hot 3 ptshooter

 

[Finito]

Ayton 4 fouls and you can make a legit case he didn’t commit a single foul

 

[Covert Rain]

Yep. All you can do is make him work harder and hope he gets tired.

 

[Chaplin]

And yet the last Blazer possession we did exactly that and he bricked the layup. Gotta make him work.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns really need another power forward.

 

[Mainstreet]

Payne with a terrible pass.

 

[DJ Tabooh]

DA isn’t a high IQ player. Yes, some of the fouls were ticky tack. But if that’s how you’re going to be reffed, adjust. He was up wayyyy to tight on Nurkic and got bullied into a foul.

Oh it’s cause his low basketball IQ

got it

 

[Finito]

I hate these uniforms

 

[Mainstreet]

Landale for 3.

 

[Mainstreet]

End of 3rd quarter:

Suns 79 - Trail Blazers 75

 

[Covert Rain]

That last defensive rotation was horrible by Lee. He didn’t roll to the bucket which opened up that last dunk.

 

[Dr. Jones]

I hate these uniforms

I hate our new Utah Jazz wannabes. Especially since we were coming off of the best alternates I can remember.

 

[Finito]

Landale for 3.

He seems serviceable

I would still like a legit PF

 

[Chaplin]

Have to say, so far I like Landale as the McGee replacement. Doesn’t have quite the rim protection, but that deficiency is more than made up for by his range.

 

[Covert Rain]

Suns really need another power forward.

Yep. Bridges and Booker should in no way be our leading rebounders. That means no production out of your FC in that regard. Landale doesn’t help much off the bench so far either.

In that circumstance, if they’re going to call the game tight…you gotta adjust. DA has struggled in the past with guys like Nurkic and Valanciunas.

I’m not saying he’s not a good player but situationally, you have to give ground if they’re going to call cheap stuff.

Are you watching the game? Those calls were laughable

What’s the adjustments for bad calls?
