Suns @ Spurs Saturday game thread 5-15-2021

[BirdGangThing]

I'm sorry but I'm just going to come right out and say it. Saric is a stumbling fumbling man baby out there compared to Craig. I don't know wtf is up, if it was the time off or if he just isn't 100% right now but whatever it is it's costing us.

Monty’s timeout usage is really the only issue I have with his coaching. Dude has done such a good job with this team over the last two years.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Frank and Dario both sucking for second consecutive game hurts.

 

[Mainstreet]

Spurs are going to fight

Spurs run a plug and play system. I've always admired it because they are so well coached.

 

[Mainstreet]

It may come down that Craig will have to play some center because of the lack of athleticism at the 5.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Book is cooking

 

[Mainstreet]

Paul shoots right over Dieng.

 

[Mainstreet]

Halftime:

Suns 68 - Spurs 47

 

[Cheesebeef]

Would be nice to push this to 30 and get CP3 a little rest before tomorrow’s back to back

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Good recovery. Step on pedal to start 3rd

 

[Mainstreet]

Devin Booker with 23 points and 2 assists in 1st half.

The Suns can beat any team but they always have to have the generators running at full power to do it.

It's unfortunate they can't rest some of their players.

I think they could rest some players if they wanted to. They might even play better against some of these bad or undermanned teams if they did because the team would likely play with more effort.

I haven't heard anything about Ayton. When is he supposed to come back?

We have a good 6 days off before the playoffs start so I would expect him to be back for the first playoff game.

Suns don't have much on their bench besides guards. Stix is not ready to play.

 

[Mainstreet]

Saric finishes inside and is fouled.

Yeah, but when we talk about resting players aren't we talking first and foremost about CP3? We could certainly afford to rest him occassionally.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns push lead to 75-47.

This decision is on Monty. I think he wants the team playing well more than anything else. Paul probably wants it this way as well. He is literally a coach on the floor.

God i love this team no matter what happens in poffs this team with a shot at 1 seed 50 w nearing end is miraculous!!!

[Mainstreet]

If the Suns can keep padding this lead maybe they can start resting some players.

 

[mjb21aztd]

Lol jeez are suns better without ayton? Lol

Well said. I feel the same way. The team that wouldn't take no for an answer.

They have to play better as a team without Ayton's size.
