wow! If there was a bet who would be leading at halftime, I would have lost! Still I am worried.

Yeah. I take nothing for granted with the Suns.

They communicate on defense and everybody ist into it. That's the main difference. Particularly the bench's defense is very good. Saben Lee needs to be more confident like when he first came to the team, the 2nd TO he should've layed it up instead of passing back. Lochdale was great in paint but should have stuck to it instead of those trying 3s. Hope we keep up the defense and be patient on O.

All game long we turn it over, most are backward passes. When I coached my kids team, my rules were do not dribble/pass into the corner, and NEVER pass it backwards. I could usually take those rec league teams and make them win more games just changing these two things!!!

 

[Mainstreet]

Much needed basket and foul by Bridges.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns can't get anything inside.

 

[Covert Rain]

They look out of sync.

 

[Mainstreet]

Ayton nowhere to be found in the 3rd quarter.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Monty just let a 13 point lead dwindle to 2 before calling a timeout.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Ayton nowhere to be found in the 3rd quarter.

He looks like he’s moving half speed.

Bridges long ball also isn’t close.

It’s kind of a miracle we’re in this game at all much less still hanging on to a lead, no less.

 

[Mainstreet]

Why foul 3-point shooters? smh

I didn't realize he was moving that fast.

 

[Dback Jon]

And the lead is basically gone

 

[Mainstreet]

Paul is carrying the team right now.

 

[Cheesebeef]

0 points, 1 rebound since the first quarter for Ayton.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Ayton goes up softer than freaking Charmin after the nice dish from Ish.

 

[Cheesebeef]

CP3 8 second violation. Oof.

 

[AsUpRoDiGy]

Ayton goes up softer than freaking Charmin after the nice dish from Ish.

He really should be a Charmin spokesman. Their sales would be off the charts!

 

[Proximo]

Is anyone else incredibly sick of Chris Paul almost getting an 8 second violation on every possession?

 

[Mainstreet]

Ayton goes up softer than freaking Charmin after the nice dish from Ish.

Ayton just waits for the ball to come to him. He is not active moving.

It’s been annoying for a while.

 

[Dback Jon]

Yes

Paul and Bridges are why the Suns are in the game.

 

[Cheesebeef]

That was nice.
