Suns @ Knicks Monday game thread 1-2-2023

[Mainstreet]

Time for tip-off.

 

[Mainstreet]

Ayton opens the Suns scoring with a jump hook shot.

 

[Mainstreet]

Ayton with another 2-pointer.

 

[Mainstreet]

Shamet's shot has been flat on a couple of misses.

Suns are shooting only 2-10.

 

[Mainstreet]

Maybe a layup would be nice as Suns trail 14-4.

Slow starts are a nemesis for Suns.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

14-0 run before monty calls timeout. Idiot. I’m over him. Time get a coach who - actually coaches.

And this is where the fact that only Paul can create a shot on the starters kills us to begin games.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns are now shooting 2-12.

 

[Finito]

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before.

Game starts and the Suns are down 10

 

[Finito]

This in Monty this team comes out flat way to many times

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Terrible shamet today.

Bridges don’t do the stupid bottlehead thing when you’re getting crushed.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Ayton - 0 rebounds.

 

[Finito]

I’m so ******* done with Bridges. Your down 10 why are you shaking your head doing your stupid 3 point celebration

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Ayton makes it too easy for defenders to deny him the ball.

 

[Finito]

Ayton - 0 rebounds.

Randle 6 rebounds

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Ayton - 0 rebounds.

In 9 minutes.

 

[Mainstreet]

It's hard to win when the Suns start the game late.

 

[Finito]

This team just doesn’t come ready to play

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns can't get the ball inside.

 

[Finito]

Bridges is an idiot

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

We haven’t drawn a single foul. This team is so soft.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Lol at bridges failing to corral a rebound that went RIGHT to him.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns will not take the ball inside. Content to shoot outside.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

11 points in the quarter.

 

[Mainstreet]

End of 1st quarter:

Knicks 23 - Suns 11

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Suns will not take the ball inside. Content to shoot outside.

They don’t have the ability to take it inside. At any given time we only have a single player who is a good enough ballhandler to penetrate.
