Suns @ Clippers Tuesday game thread 8-4-20 (season restart)

[Chaplin]

And looks like Dallas can't gain any ground on Sacramento. Ugh, that's a game I wish Dallas would win. Still have a quarter to go though.

 

[Mainstreet]

Timeout. Suns lead 24-18.

 

[Proximo]

So far so good. Let's see if we can sustain it. This next stretch around the quarter break will be telling.

Yeah, once book is out with the bench in is where we tend to lose ground - fast.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Solid start.

Awesome to see ayton with 7 already and the 3 pointer!!

Keep it suns

 

[Chaplin]

Is Booker missing free throws??

 

[Mainstreet]

End of 1st quarter:

Suns 27 - Clippers 23

 

[Mainstreet]

Is Booker missing free throws??

He is 3-5 from FT line.

Booker not getting the foul calls he should.

 

[Chaplin]

When was the last time you saw Devin Booker miss 2 free throws in a quarter? He barely misses two free throws in an entire game.

 

[Mainstreet]

Ayton scoring some nice jump shots now with 11 points.

 

[Mainstreet]

Timeout: Suns 38- Clippers 34

 

[Cheesebeef]

Ayton’s jumper is money so far.

and Rubio has had a very good bubble so far.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns will need points from Bridges and Johnson who are both scoreless.

 

[Mainstreet]

Flagrant 1 on Booker... come on. Zubac gets slight push in back. SMH.

 

[Mainstreet]

Bridges gets the 3-pointer.

 

[TJ]

0 bench points is a problem

 

[Chaplin]

0 bench points is a problem

Whose bench? We have 6 bench points. 4 from Saric, 2 from Payne.

 

[Mainstreet]

Three personal fouls on Booker. Here we go again. Booker is getting no respect from referees.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Clippers get a lot of calls.

 

[Mainstreet]

Payne gets two 3 pointers in a row and playing defense.

 

[Chaplin]

I'll be honest, in the scrimmages I wasn't too impressed with Cam Payne, but in the 3 regular season games, he's really growing on me. Dare I say he's better than anything we've had in years?

 

[TJ]

Whose bench? We have 6 bench points. 4 from Saric, 2 from Payne.

You’re right. I misspoke. Still need more bench production especially in this game against a deep team

 

[Mainstreet]

I'll be honest, in the scrimmages I wasn't too impressed with Cam Payne, but in the 3 regular season games, he's really growing on me. Dare I say he's better than anything we've had in years?

Payne is aggressive on offense and defense but does not get many assists. He knows how to run a team though.

 

[Mainstreet]

Bridges with another 3-pointer.

 

[Mainstreet]

Halftime:


Suns 63 - Clippers 56
