Suns @ Pacers Saturday game thread 1-9-2021

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

I let my emotions get the better of me earlier about fools gold. The depth of this team allows us to find the hot hand. Great bounce back game tonight for the team and bridges.

I’ll give Eddie big credit, he calls out Ayton on stuff all game long. He says Paul and monty will be doing so also, I hope he’s right. Bc Eddie is spot on with every observation he makes about Ayton.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

This game also gave us a glimpse at our backcourt. Book took over when needed and Paul closed it with cam.

Good win by the suns nice to beat a good team on the road

Awesome to see bridges with a great gm

On to Washington

I now wonder if all of Ayton’s explosiveness his rookie year was PEDs and that’s what he was busted for last year.

I mentioned peds a few games back. That he just doesn’t dunk or sprint anymore. He’s always huffing a puffing.

I also mentioned last year that he can’t palm the ball.

idk just seems like we need someone else other than Ayton. He gets by on sheer length alone.

at the same time i think it’s bad that the players aren’t being testing for weed. Maybe his cognitive abilities and maybe lung capacity have been hindered???

idk at this point anything is possible with this guy. He looks like a space case.

Monty credits Paul and Booker for low turnovers.

If you told me 7-3 thru 10?

 

[Mainstreet]

I think tonight's game shows most of Booker's turnovers are due to a lack of concentration. He was so good passing tonight and had 7 assists.

Chris Paul had 10 assists.

That, and not passing to Ayton a lot. Again today his hands were awful

Some game comments from Monty.

Book looked a bit more like himself tonight.

Ayton - well I don’t know. I was watching the pacer stream and even they were calling him a wuss.

mikal can do this all the time, and hopefully now that he has done it, it will become more common.

A good game, but Sabonis really exposed our lack of big man depth.

Have to like the team chemistry. Bridges gets a dousing after scoring 34 points.

The mop bucket was awful haha

That's hilarious.

Looks like it was a franchise low turnovers. They bumped the turnovers to 3 but ESPN still only shows 2.

[Carolinacacti]

100% from the charity stripe and 3 turnovers

 

[Cheesebeef]

Pacers are a good team. Suns move to 7-3 and the Pacers to 6-3.

that’s a hell of a win on a back to back, coming off blowing that huge lead last night.

 

[82CardsGrad]

Kudos to Mikal, Cam, Javon and especially Monty. That is all.

Paul with 10 assists BABY!! [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

okay... this kinda stuff makes me gets me a little more invested. These guys seem like they really like playing with each other. That can be infectious.

 

[WhyAlwaysMe]

I’m embarrassed for auton

+12 and clamped Sabonis and the rim in the 4th. GAME BALL FOR BIG FELLA

 

[WhyAlwaysMe]

Could you imagine this team with Sabonis instead of Ayton

sabonis 28/22 so far

Sabonis used 27 possessions for 28 points.
Got clamped in winning time (by DA).
And holds the L.

I’ll take BIG FELLA.

 

[WhyAlwaysMe]

Suns win by 8. So glad to see Book take charge. But he looked tired.

Mikal with 34, remaining the difference maker of the game. Our only
30-point scorer of the season so far. Chris Paul with a 15-10. Booker
with 25.

We played OT last night in a different city lmao. Book’s best game of the year.

 

[WhyAlwaysMe]

And zero turnovers.

literally dominated the 4th from a game management standpoint.

 

[Muggz]

Fun game to watch, got scared for a bit there but they pulled it out. Bridges went off.
