76ers vs Suns SL Game Thread 7/12/18

[Mainstreet]

The Suns play an early playoff game in summer league today against the 76ers.

The game will be televised on ESPN2. The 76ers (0-3) are led by Furkan Korkmaz, who scored 40 points in an opening loss to the Celtics.

If Phoenix wins, it will face the winner of Spurs and Bucks at Thomas & Mack Center at 5:30 p.m. on Saturday.

I want to add today's game is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. Arizona time and will be televised on ESPN 2.

Hopefully we will see a better offensive game today.

Also Korkmaz is 1 of 18 from the field since that 40 point game.

Well that's a message

Well that's a message

It can be taken this way. There ample reason to cut back his minutes because of his play.

I sort of viewed it, the Suns are going to be cutting back his minutes to give other players more time.

I can't remember the Suns winning a tip-off so far in summer league.

Bender with a nice turnaround jumper to start scoring.

 

[Mainstreet]

Bridges with a nice entry pass to Ayton for the score.

The Suns are not playing with defensive intensity. They may be missing Jackson.

3 and D

Bridges with a great block then runs down and hits a 3

 

[Mainstreet]

Wow. Nice reverse layup by Bender.

 

[Mainstreet]

Davon Reed with nice drive for 2 and is fouled.

I'm hoping Bridges plays well so we do not have to hear about Zhaire Smith all game.

Zhaire who?

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns 20 -76ers 16 after 1st quarter.

 

[Mainstreet]

Zhaire who?

The 76ers drafted Zhaire Smith with the 16th pick formerly owned by the Suns in the Bridges trade.

Gambo said nothing wrong with Jackson, but there's also this tweet...

People give Bender a lot of crap, and I join in often enough, but damn that kid can play defense. 4:30-ish seconds in, he just showed a textbook example of how to defend when someone is driving in. He did the same thing around the 8 minute mark. Move your feet, keep your arms straight up.

Love how you guys are detailed on how the games are going. Haven't had a chance to watch one yet this summer and have always come here to see how the newbies are playing. Keep posting up all the details.

George King is making the most of this opportunity.

At first glance I can confuse Peters and Cooley.
