Suns @ Mavericks Tuesday game thread 1-28-20

[Phrazbit]

First 2 plays, force 2 turnovers. Ayton, Ourbe and Bridges... their length and speed cause teams such problems.

 

[JerkFace]

4-0.... success! Ha.

 

[WildBB]

Git R Done!!

 

[Mainstreet]

Ayton (4) looking aggressive early.

 

[Mainstreet]

Ayton looking so good early.

 

[Phrazbit]

Ayton (4) looking aggressive early.

Up to 8 now, 4-4, 3 of his shots coming right at the rim.

And just now he pump fakes a long jumper and then attacks the basket, drawing a foul!

Hell yeah big man, this is the kind of offensive play we need to see more of.

He makes it look so easy too.

He's also smothered Doncic 3 times on drives to the hoop.

 

[AsUpRoDiGy]

Thank you Ayton for driving to the basket. So incredibly simple, and so effective.

 

[WildBB]

Nice redirect there by Auton on D.

COMMUNICATION on D!

 

[Sunburn]

Ayton drives to the basket instead of settling for a jumper and goes to the line. Might be the first time I've seen him do that. It worked. Shocking.

I think the lineup change may have helped with a more aggressive starting lineup to set the tone.

 

[JerkFace]

It is a shame that at some point we will need to make a substitution. This lineup is groovin’.

Ty Jerome is the first substitution.

 

[Sunburn]

Ayton is kinda awful at receiving passes.

 

[Sunburn]

Get Jerome out of there please.

 

[BirdGangThing]

Suns are an entirely different team with Ayton on the floor, it is a true pleasure to watch the two grow together.

 

[Sunburn]

Where'd everybody go?

 

[Mainstreet]

End of 1st quarter:


Suns 32 - Mavericks 19

 

[Mainstreet]

Get Jerome out of there please.

Why? Ty ran the team well and Monty says he is pleased with his progress.

 

[Chaplin]

I don’t know if it’s sustainable but I’d say the new starting lineup in this game has been a rousing success.

 

[Sunburn]

Why? Ty ran the team well and Monty says he is pleased with his progress.

I think he sucks.

 

[Phrazbit]

Only bad play Ty had was the 20 foot contested jumper he took with like 16 seconds left on the clock.

Oubre played well but man, he has been so selfish lately. You can see sometimes when he gets a rebound that there is no chance he is giving up the ball, even if the defense forces him to shoot from 25 feet out, he ain't passing.

 

[Mainstreet]

Tyler Johnson is in for Oubre. Oubre clearly flustered on a no-call foul.

 

[Phrazbit]

Saric, Bridges, Ty Johnson, Carter and Jarome in there together...

This lineup might struggle...

 

[Mainstreet]

I think he sucks.

As long as the Suns play well while he is running the team.

 

[Sunburn]

Gotta get this line-up off the floor.
