Hornets @ Suns Sunday game thread 12-19-2021

[Cheesebeef]

My six plus decades as a fan of Arizona sports teams suggests you should buy some mouthwash. Counting heavily on the Cards, Suns, Diamondbacks, Coyotes, Sun Devils or Wildcats can be a very risky proposition.

lol... so much truth hurts.

Ayton getting more comfortable with that spin move on the roll.

 

[Mainstreet]

Hornets having trouble with their defense which has been their problem.

 

[Mainstreet]

Charlotte timeout.

Suns lead 24-9.

 

[Chaplin]

Hornets having trouble with their defense which has been their problem.

To be fair, not many defenses can do much when we’re rolling.

This is true but this has been the Hornets Achilles heel.

Hornets having trouble with their defense which has been their problem.

Fun fact: The Suns are 19-0 when they score at least 108 points. They are also 19-0 when they hold their opponent to less than 110 points.

Both of those are looking fairly possible tonight.

 

[Proximo]

Not a bad start.

 

[Mainstreet]

Cam Payne hits the three!

 

[Chaplin]

8 rebounds for Ayton in 9 minutes.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns call timeout after a couple of baskets by Hornets but still lead 31-13.

 

[thirty-two]

At least the Suns came to play today. Great start!

 

[Chaplin]

Welp you’d think we’d see less Payton with Book back, but…

 

[TJ]

Glad to see an Arizona former #1 pick show up today…

 

[Mainstreet]

Shamet's shot is coming along.

 

[Chaplin]

Shamet's shot is coming along.

Catch and shoot. His problem is he can’t shoot 3s off the dribble.

 

[Mainstreet]

End of 1st quarter:

Suns 37 - Hornets 15

 

[CardsSunsDbacks]

Catch and shoot. His problem is he can’t shoot 3s off the dribble.

The main problem that I've noticed is that he likes to fire them up off balance. When he is on balance he has been quite good.

 

[Mainstreet]

I think I'm the only one who defends Payton. He owes me a good game.

Agree. He needs to go straight up on jump shot or get set before he shoots.

 

[Mainstreet]

Booker gets the three!!

 

[CardsSunsDbacks]

This is a brutal game for the Hornets at this point.

I'm liking it after the Cardinals game.

 

[Mainstreet]

Paul hurt his finger someway but stays in the game.

 

[CardsSunsDbacks]

Paul hurt his finger someway but stays in the game.

I think it is actually the left wrist which is already wrapped.
