Clippers @ Suns 12-10-18

[95pro]

JJ with another 3.

 

[Mainstreet]

Jackson with another 3 pointer. Keep it rolling.

 

[Mainstreet]

Halftime:

Clippers 58 - Suns 56

 

[95pro]

Ayton beats the first half buzzer. Good close to the half. Suns down 58-56.

 

[SirStefan32]

Finally caught up. I am loving what Ayton is doing, especially in the first quarter. One criticism of Igor... I would have left him in. He was on fire. Jackson playing pretty well. Team seems to be playing decent defense.

 

[Mainstreet]

Warren must get the quickest ejections I have seen.

 

[GoldGloveschmidt]

Ayton looked so bad against the Clippers last week but looks like a beast tonight.

 

[SirStefan32]

Oh and Warren needs to stop acting a fool. This is the second time he got himself tossed for no reason.

 

[BC867]

Jackson led the Suns to a 9-2 run to close the half and we're down by 2.

Ayton with 9 points, 9 rebound and 3 blocks for the half.

I wonder why Warren pulled a double-technical. Was he out of control or is he still hurting?

 

[Hoop Head]

JJ looks great tonight. Nice to see some fire in Ayton and JJ playing smart and well. These are the sort of games I hoped for in pre season. They aren't ahead but they are only down by 2 with lots of momentum.

TJ needs to fix his attitude. Dont mind the occasional Tech but these ejections are something else.

He must've called him a c_ _ ksucker.

He must know the magic words and then some.

 

[BC867]

I hope this isn't another hang-in-there-for-a half, then lose by 19. And consider it a moral victory.

See: Bull Durham

No comment. LOL

It's looking that way. Even when we do get off to a good start, Kokoskov gets horribly outcoached, and the opponent makes adjustments (with Kokoskov of course unable to make any counter-adjustments) to breeze right past us.

 

[SirStefan32]

I am loving Ayton this game. Those were some solid blocks, and he also affected a couple of shots that he didn't block. It's nice to see him adjusting to what terrified him (or at least confused him) the last time. I am telling you, folks... give him all the crap you want, but this kid is smart. He will be a scary good player in a couple of years,

 

[Mainstreet]

I'd like to enjoy the game for what it is rather than think the worst.

Knew you would have something bad to say

Ayton definitely shows he can learn. He did not come out passive tonight.

I won't consider it a moral victory but anytime we play with effort for a half, I feel hope for the future.

 

[BC867]

Well, we'll know what it is in about an hour.

Thanks, Steve, I needed that.

Yep! Possessions turn into minutes, minutes turn into quarters, quarters turn into halves, and halves turn into full games eventually. Very happy with the young Suns right now regardless of the outcome of the game.

For some reason the Suns finally look like they care.
