Knicks @ Suns Friday game thread 5-7-2021

[Mainstreet]

End of 3rd quarter:

Suns 90 - Knicks 88

WOW.

 

[Finito]

Holy crap what an end to the 3rd

 

[Muggz]

whew

 

[Finito]

4 points in 1 second

04-05... mostly because there was no one near as frustrating as Ayton is to me.

but it’s close. It’s a bunch of a really good guys.

as far as who was more entertaining? Definitely the 04-05 team. They flew up and down the court either shootings threes or Amare and Marion skying in for dunks.

this team played much much better D... until recently.

Yeah it’s hard to choose. I loved Marion and Amare had charisma. Nash and Book are a wash.

I had the time of my life watching the 04-05 suns.

This group seems to really like playing together though!

 

[Chaplin]

Wow... That was unbelievable!

 

[95pro]

Craig and Payne not giving up until the end

 

[Mainstreet]

Bad game or no, Book is a smart player.

Booker is a smart player. They are trying to take him out of the game. He should make the Knicks pay for this strategy.

 

[Finito]

The Knicks are playing physical. Ayton was lucky that shot went in the basket.

then he dunked like 3 in a row. I don’t get it. Complaining about a mad basket just sounds ridiculous to me especially a lay up

hes 9/11 tonight that’s not luck that’s called having your way

Most of it is about him being more forceful leading to extra points with fouls.

Suns push lead to 103-91.

 

[AsUpRoDiGy]

What a turnaround. The scrappy defense has completely shifted the game.

 

[Chaplin]

What a turnaround. The scrappy defense has completely shifted the game.

This is very similar to the OT defense vs Cleveland.

 

[95pro]

Finally some separation, biggest lead since the first

 

[Finito]

Dishing and swishing for the Suns got the Knicks in a quagmire- Walt Frazier

he’s def got his own style


Suns turning up the defense

 

[Absolute Zero]

Exactly. Ayton started dunking it after that. This is a physical game. If Ayton is not physical he is not going to get the calls.

 

[Finito]

Craig and Payne not giving up until the end

i love these two guys great role players

 

[Mainstreet]

Welcome back Jae Crowder!

 

[Muggz]

WOW JC

 

[Mainstreet]

Cam Payne with the three!

 

[Finito]

Exactly. Ayton started dunking it after that. This is a physical game. If Ayton is not physical he is not going to get the calls.

Idk maybe were watching different games. I seen him pretty much single handily keep us in this game in the 3rd but apparently he’s been soft tonight.

with like 4 dunks but he did have that 1 layup that went in

 

[Muggz]

Love me some Cam Payne

 

[Chaplin]

That’s a flagrant 2.

 

[Finito]

Gibson thinks Paul undercut him.

I didn’t see anything to crazy. Paul and Thibs getting into it
