Bucks @ Suns Wednesday game thread 2-10-2021

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Suns need to get some more players back by the 76ers game on Saturday not that this group of players isn't playing terrific.

Nice that we get a few days rest.

This season Frank is very active, more than last season.

At the beginning of the season I thought he was a complete waste but is really showing something the last few games. I think he was playing too tight and was too worried about making the wrong play. He looks more aggressive and a little loser and is really becoming an asset.

Crowder is such a warrior. Obviously his game is limited, but I can't believe no team has wanted him to stick around long-term. He's exactly the kind of player you need if you want to win.

Pretty sure the teams that traded him would have preferred to keep him, but most of those trades he was used to acquire an all-star.

It's much needed too. The Suns played hard tonight.

Also he's hitting his 3's. I haven't looked at the numbers but it feels like he's hitting a higher percentage than Cam over the last 5 games or so. This team has to punish defenses when they sag down or Book and CP3 are not going to have enough space to do their thing so Frank making his 3s is huge.

I really think Frank is in better condition but getting waived can do something to a veteran as well.

Based on last season I didn't want the Suns to pick up his option. I'm so happy that Frank is back and playing well for whatever reason. He is well liked by the players.

Hmm, could be. I hadn't realized that this past off-season was the first time he was a free agent. Good pickup!

Absolutely, real surprising too since he turned down bigger offers.

 

[Mainstreet]

The referees need to be made aware that Giannis is grabbing opponents arms on some of his drives to the basket and getting the foul call.

It was much like Sexton did the other night.

I hope Monty says something about it.

 

[Mainstreet]

Regarding Crowder's knee. He thinks he will be fine.

Complete waste is probably an exaggeration but his ability of showing no resistance in D vs. drives or post-ups and failing to score from lay-ups and open 3's drove me crazy.

Somehow in January (even before putting him in the starting line-up) he got more effective and consistent and now with his newly-found passing (coming out of nowhere) he is playing out of his mind.

How bout them Suns

Kaminsky's three point shot is looking pretty good as well but I like that Frank is trying to play inside offensively and defensively.

 

[Finito]

And neither can you apparently. Your obsession with me is a little disturbing.

Oh God.

alright bud. I just can’t match this wit. You clearly “won” this if that’s what you need to hear.

You were right Ayton clearly cost us this game.

Lol I haven’t posted anything in over an hour but you need to get the last word in. So go ahead. Get your last word in. I won’t respond to you any further in this thread.

 

[Mert]

As an european basketball fan, i hated the timeout call when the Bucks player had the ball on the ground.

 

[Dr. Jones]

We need a grinder in the close games against big tough opponents. Crowder is the only guy on our team that fills that role. Very Dockett-esque in that way.

 

[Dr. Jones]

We seem to play better when I can't catch the game. Doesn't bode well for our playoff hopes! Great W!

This was a really good game. Buck couldn't miss in the first half. Suns just kept chipping away, and managed to win the game. Officiating was awful, by the way. I am really proud of this team.
