Kings @ Suns Wednesday 10-23-19 game thread

[Proximo]

Rubio is awful

not awful, but not very good. His inability to shoot is a big problem.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Actually that isn't true because of Bender

 

[Chaplin]

They aren't covering him at all on shooting

Like I haven't seen shots this open be missed over and over by NBA players

Sure you have... Michael Beasley, Marcus Banks, any point guard over the past 3 years... Definitely hyperbole right now.

I hate to say "I told you so", but...

Need Booker to get it going. Oubre has 14 points.

Are you watching the game?

 

[Chaplin]

Two great Rubio defensive plays in a row.

Are you watching the game?

Yes I am, are you saying you think those players I listed are BETTER??

 

[Chris_Sanders]

And I don't mean that as an attack, just you aren't in Phoenix

 

[Chaplin]

I have league pass.

 

[1Sun]

Two great Rubio defensive plays in a row.

He is an above average team defender and a great passer, but he can't defend one on one (too slow), and his shot is so bad it's like playing 4 on 5...

 

[Mainstreet]

Rubio with the drive for the basket plus 1.

Suns lead 66-64.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

The only person I can think of be as open as Rubio was on that transition three is Bender and that may just be me thinking how bad Bender was.

There was a guy under the basket and Rubio 17 ft away. It's a HORSE shot in a rec league.

 

[Chaplin]

Rubio heard you Chris.

 

[Mainstreet]

Oubre for the basket... Kings timeout.

 

[CardsSunsDbacks]

Some games Rubio will make them look stupid for leaving him open and some games it will look like a good plan. Ultimately he will likely make them around 33% of the time and if enough of them are wide open that number might be higher.

 

[Phrazbit]

Lol I am going to hate Rubio

Really? In the arena he seems like a fan favorite, he’s made some slick passes.

Also, in the 5 minutes since half time Oubre has been electric.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Rubio heard you Chris.

Defense is suddenly excellent. I hope it can overcome how bad he is as a shooter.

 

[Proximo]

I hate to say "I told you so", but...

You really haven’t gotten any more optimistic in your absence.

you should at least wait a few games before giving out I told you so’s.

 

[Chaplin]

Booker has also played some good defense in the 2nd half.

I can't stand guys that are terrible at shooting but just jack it up.

That one play he was so open he could walk to the basket but Jack's up the 3

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Someone tell Saric how tall he is and he can put some arc on those shots

 

[BC867]

Solid team play by the Suns during the 3rd quarter
and some good individual plays.

Suns lead by 3 approaching the mid-point of the
quarter.

 

[Mainstreet]

Baynes hits the 3 pointer. LOL
