Dumb

Calling it now - Jeremy Lamb will go for a career high in 3 pointers Wednesday night!

Ayton was open rolling to the rim. Damn this one hurts

Ayton was open rolling to the rim. Damn this one hurts

Yeah, that should’ve been the play. Literally, Devin shot with 3 left and two guys in his face. Not ideal.

 

[Sunstroke]

Helluva 4th quarter effort. Turnovers in the 1st half and a hot shooting Spurs team were the difference.
Go Suns!

 

[1Sun]

Okay. After that ridiculous last play, now I'm convinced Monty's in-game decisions are part of the problem.

Make Monty GM and bring in a better Xs and Os guy to coach.

Starting Dario Saric was the difference. The numbers are obvious there.

 

[Yuma]

Chambers wears a cool jacket with a K-Mart shirt! UGH!

 

[82CardsGrad]

Rubio choked at the line... that lost us the game.

 

[TJ]

Lol, come on Devin

Suns need to get it to Ayton down low more often especially in close games.

Wait, I’m still not clear what your point is here... are you suggesting you would’ve preferred Saric not starting? [emoji2957]

 

[1Sun]

did you guys see Bridges' face? I'm afraid he might go drown himself in the ice tub.

But I thought Bridges should be a robot with no emotional fragility whatsoever...

 

[Cheesebeef]

Saric, -22 in 20 minutes. Next closest was Rubio's -9.

Why is Saric in the starting line-up again?

Bridges with +4 - I really hope people all manning the suicide hotline tonight though because he's likely to go slit his wrists after getting benched.

i'm still not sure why they even put him back in the game after he clearly showed he would be done mentally for the next year in the first half.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Ayton settles for outside shot. That hurt.

Yup we didn’t have a chance to win bc of rubio’s missed free throw. But I think we lost because of the bad three attempt by oubre, Ayton settling for a jump shot that he missed and oubres poor defense that undid the run. And bridges general no-show offensively.

that said, monster games by book and Ayton.

 

[pokerface]

Yeah, that should’ve been the play. Literally, Devin shot with 3 left and two guys in his face. Not ideal.

Plus off balance and far away!!!

 

[itlnsunsfan]

That's 3 great games in a row for Ayton at least. Showed some great defense in the fourth. Really happy with what I'm seeing.

 

[Cheesebeef]

But I thought Bridges should be a robot with no emotional fragility whatsoever...

he totally should be and now he's going to kill himself! I think you should reach out to him on twitter and see if he needs to be consoled tonight because he's clearly going to end his life tonight.

 

[Mainstreet]

A final look at the Booker missed shot.

Put a real power forward next to him, or at least not one who is a major negative, and watch his game take off.

 

[SunnyBaller]

That was an impressive comeback attempt, I almost stopped watching when they got down big. Booker took over the 3rd and ayton the fourth! Love to see that just wish someone would have took over the other two quarters.

Side note has ayton ever lead the team in free throw attempts? He's finally starting to get to the line consistently!

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Book had more time.

Yup I hated that shot. Wasn’t necessary. Get a better look than that!

 

[Proximo]

Saric, -22 in 20 minutes. Next closest was Rubio's -9.

Why is Saric in the starting line-up again?

because we have like 7 players and they can’t play all 48 minutes.

 

[Bufalay]

Ayton was open rolling to the rim. Damn this one hurts

Ya but he was still pretty far away from the hoop.

 

[Sunstroke]

Starting Dario Saric was the difference. The numbers are obvious there.

Forbes 1st half shooting and Booker's careless handling of the ball really put the Suns behind the 8-Ball. Book did respond in the
2nd half and gave the Suns a chance to make that 4th quarter run. I don't see Saric as a clear cut reason why the Suns lost.
His stat line is basically inconsequential imo.
