Bridges on fire

 

[Proximo]

Really like how they are playing so far.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns play physical. They just don't wear the opposing uniforms.

 

[Mainstreet]

Great move by Ayton.

 

[Finito]

Pretty move by DA

 

[Mainstreet]

End of 1st quarter:

Suns 36 - Pelicans 29

 

[Finito]

Sigh

 

[Mainstreet]

Paul gets two quick fouls on Alvarado.

 

[Mainstreet]

Now three fouls on Alvarado as he checks out.

 

[Finito]

And1 for Ayton

 

[Mainstreet]

Maybe Booker and Bridges could be the back court of the future?

 

[Finito]

Ayton

 

[Finito]

Maybe Booker and Bridges could be the back court of the future?

No. Booker is not and never will be a PG.

 

[Mainstreet]

No. Booker is not and never will be a PG.

It it could be effective in late game situations.

 

[Mainstreet]

Payne with the drive +1.

 

[Finito]

It it could be effective in late game situations.

No it could not.

I’m not asking my best scorer to be my primary playmaker. Booker is also not a good passer and is slow to recognize the double. Late in games I want Booker worried about 1 thing putting the ball in the basket

 

[Mainstreet]

Bridges with the clean-up basket.

 

[Finito]

Bridges

 

[Mainstreet]

[Proximo]

Suns played fundamentally solid in that half.

 

[95pro]

Only negative was Payne imo. We’d get a bit of a lead and he would take us right to 0-0.

 

[Mainstreet]

Lots of contact allowed against Ayton.

 

[Mainstreet]

Ayton with nice follow-up effort.
