Clutch 3 by bridges

Close this out suns...

 

[BC867]

24 so far for Bridges.

 

[Mainstreet]

Bridges is going crazy with 24 points.

 

[1Sun]

Bridges and Booker are carrying us tonight. Coming out party for Bridges?

Yes, Ayton has lots of points and boards, but to shoot 8-21 from the field as a center with a 6 inch height advantage against your defenders should be downright embarrassing.

 

[Sunstroke]

Suns...

 

[Mainstreet]

I want like a month of this but I so want to retire my criticism.

Ayton will have his bumps in the road but he has shown what he can do as a player. He is nowhere playing as well as he can.

 

[BC867]

Ayton is becoming an offensive force inside. I am sorry that his play motivated
me to lose confidence in his becoming our Center of the future.

Keep it up, DA!

 

[Yuma]

Bridges player of the game?

 

[Mainstreet]

Bridges player of the game?

I think so. Great games by Bridges, Booker and Ayton.

 

[TJ]

Bridges player of the game?

X-factor for sure

 

[Sunstroke]

Suns are going to win with 2:22 left. Ayton was very good again. Young, big man took another step forward.
Love the rebound number, don't care about the points but loved the altered, missed shots by the Celtics when DA
was defending in the 1st half.

He is becoming a force inside, 1Sun. Look beyond the stats as he transitions.

It more about how he is doing it.

 

[1Sun]

Bridges player of the game?

Easily, in my opinion.

Barring a historical catastrophic collapse in the last 2 minutes tonight, the Suns did what they needed to do - take care of business against a depleted team, something they couldn't do recently against the Grizzlies, Kings and Hawks.

Kudos to the Suns for that. Still lots of room for improvement, and still a clear need for a starting power forward, back-up power forward, back-up point guard, back-up shooting guard, and now back-up center.

 

[Yuma]

Here we go on the challenge

 

[TJ]

Horseshit call

 

[Mainstreet]

Rubio getting beat up tonight.

 

[Yuma]

Easily, in my opinion.

Man would I love John Collins

Perhaps, but how the heck isn't he just flushing it down repeatedly against his 6'6" to 6'8" defenders?

 

[GatorAZ]

How do you call that a block in real time?????

 

[1Sun]

Man would I love John Collins

As would I. I actually wanted him in that draft...

 

[BC867]

5 point game with 1:16 to go.

 

[BC867]

And now a 3 point lead.

Then up by 5 points.

 

[Mainstreet]

Yes. Shot falls for Bridges. It hung on the rim for awhile.

 

[Yuma]

What a tease on that shot for Boston fans!

 

[GatorAZ]

That hitch yikes but they’re going in!
