Suns @ Heat Saturday game thread 8-8-20 (season restart)

[Mainstreet]

Your feed is like 10 seconds ahead of mine and somehow you always post in that time about big buckets. Glad to know it's coming but it's frustrating that I'm a little behind the live action for whatever reason.

I'd like to think I'm really, really quick. LMAO

Suns need Ayton to win. Even when he is not scoring he is a presence on the court.

Yeah more like the presence of a ghost.

 

[AzStevenCal]

If we let Carter go who wants to bet we'll hate facing him when he lands in San Antonio or Miami? He just seems like the perfect player for either team, hope we keep him instead.

The ghost had 18 points and 12 points. He should have got a block on Olynyk layup attempt.

Gotta love them ugly gut it out wins! Crucial for a team to grow

He played well to end the game but he needs to play better. Letdown after last game

Jevon Carter brought it tonight.

Two major gms coming thunder and 76ers not gonna be easy

But what ever happens I am damn proud of Booker's suns!!!

Hope they continue playing with this fire next season

Perfect timing too (in a weird way) because I think our next game will be our toughest. Monty will use this as a teaching tool and have them play better next game

I don't excuse Ayton for off games but he is an essential part of the Suns winning. He is always a persistent threat who has to be defended.

Also the Suns don't have a center off the bench.

No doubt about it. You just see flashes of what he CAN do and its a major disappointment when he plays nowhere near his potential

We HAVE to keep him as our fifth guard. He is PERFECT for that role.

Top 5 win of the season right here. Maybe a top 10 in the last 10 years, definitely top 20.

Please keep in mind the context of my comment.

Ayton had one really good quarter and that’s it. Ayton could’ve had 30 today had he been awake in the first half

And we won despite that. Arguably we won because of his good quarter.

Pretty amazing he put up those stats in an off game though.

Thanks for turning my stomach. Carter in a Spurs jersey and becoming a potential All-Star under Pop is realistically frightening.

I know I added the potential All-Star part but I think Pop could really get a ton out of him. Look at how far Tony Parker improved over his career for an example of a PG who Pop developed. I think Parker would have fizzled out of the league on most other teams. He had speed and that was pretty much it early on.

I get your sentiment but he will never be an all star.

 

[Hoop Head]

Saric had another good outing with 10 points, 8 boards, and solid aggressive play inside on both ends. He had a +7 for the game, which tied him for 2nd best +/- with both Cam's putting up the same +7. Carter led the pack with a +11.

 

[Chaplin]

Can Johnson is blossoming before our eyes. I’m actually reminded of Booker, drafted at 13 and known as a shooter only. Nobody thought he would turn out like this. Could Cam be heading down a similar path?

His improvement has not been subtle, that’s for sure.

Agree. Not concerned about Ayton long-term, but this isn’t even a close game if Ayton’s engaged from the tip

Is that a Parker - Carter comparison?? [emoji15]

 

[sdscard4]

Incredibly gutsy game. This team appears to be just a power forward and back-up center away from contention.

No they ARE contenders.

He added muscle and has become a very solid stretch 4. Still has a lot he can improve on as well
