Suns @ Hornets Wednesday game thread 3-1-2023

[DJ Tabooh]

If Jock relaxed a little and wasn't so quick to shoot, pass, or whatever he's doing he'd be a much better player. He just thinks quicker than he moves and it doesn't work out that well.

Great observation. There’s a great John Wooden quote where he says “Be quick, don’t hurry.” That’s Jock to a T. He knows what to do but oftentimes he’s a tick too early/late.

 

[Mainstreet]

Warren with the sweet drive for two.

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

This does feel like a different team. A very confident, very inspired, very defense orientated different team. The ability to score was expected, but if there is an adjustment period taking place it is hard to see

 

[Finito]

That’s an ugly possession by Chris Paul he wanted no part of shooting it

 

[Mainstreet]

Another timeout. Suns lead 48-30.

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

Ayton all star next year. Calling my shot

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

If all the defenses focus on KD and Booker like this DeAndre Ayton is going to be more popular than my ex-wife

 

[SeattleCardinal]

Ayton looking good on offense.

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

Calling it with confidence

 

[TJ]

I know this is the short-handed Hornets but this looks like the team we saw handle scrubs with ease the previous two seasons.

 

[Covert Rain]

I knew the offense would be potent but the defensive intensity is there. This sort of feels like some of he defense we were playing last year.

 

[DJ Tabooh]

Ayton all star next year. Calling my shot

Gonna be hard to get 3 players in with the front court depth in the West. Booker would’ve/should’ve made it had he not missed so much time.

Ha… uh… wha?

 

[DJ Tabooh]

Only thing that has my antennas up is no FT attempts in 20 minutes of game action.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns have so many offensive weapons now. It opens up everything.

When you are a top 2 record you can get 3 all stars

I think the unselfishness were seeing us a part of that, I mean we're still getting plenty of pts in the paint

 

[TJ]

Thought Ayton would lose the most offensive production of all players with Durant, but it’s business as usual for him

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns are getting so many good looks with spread court.

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

Thought Ayton would lose the most offensive production of all players with Durant, but it’s business as usual for him

He's open or one on one in the post on every play Durant is on the floor.

 

[Covert Rain]

Suns already have 20 assists.

 

[Finito]

Craig

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

These CLT jerseys are brutal.

 

[Cheesebeef]

So… who wants to point me in the direction of a link for the game in my inbox?
