Saban Lee enters the game.

 

[Yuma]

We don't seem like we are going to bust this open the way we are shooting threes.

Good to hear, with this teams luck I was expecting the worse.

 

[Mainstreet]

Yes, Nurkic with the three.

 

[Mainstreet]

Grizzlies now lead by 5.

 

[AzCardsfan76]

I still can’t get over how bad the defensive scheme and effort is for the Suns.

 

[Mainstreet]

Needed three by Booker.

 

[Mainstreet]

Nurkic shot puts that shot in the basket.

 

[Mainstreet]

Halftime:

Suns 63 - Grizzlies 58

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

12 rebounds for Nurk - in the first half

The Cardinals and Suns games back to back are tough.

The Suns need to do something to improve their defense.

 

[nashman]

The Suns need to do something to improve their defense.

It’s a little tough too when the zebras blow whistles when we try to toughen up a bit on D. Teams get away with rough against us but we aren’t alotted the same type of play very frustrating…

 

[Sunburn]

The two most accurate three point shooters in the NBA this season are:
1. Kevin Durant - 47.7%
2. Grayson Allen - 47.3%

 

[Mainstreet]

I don't know where the Suns would be without Allen.

 

[Mainstreet]

Timeout with the Suns leading 80-73. It would be nice to build on it.

 

[Yuma]

They are HOT from three

 

[Sunburn]

Grayson Allen is outside the top 50 in 3pt field goal attempts per game at 5.5.

Kevin Durant is outside the top 100 in 3pt field goal attempts per game at 4.6.

Both of these guys need to be taking at least 8 3pt attempts per game.

 

[Mainstreet]

Okogie plays like a tight end in football.

 

[Yuma]

Grayson Allen is outside the top 50 in 3pt field goal attempts per game at 5.5.

Kevin Durant is outside the top 100 in 3pt field goal attempts per game at 4.6.

Both of these guys need to be taking at least 8 3pt attempts per game.

I had a coach and if you brought up a stat like that, "Hey coach I was 2-2 from three." He would just say, "Well obviously you aren't shooting enough threes."
