Suns @ Pacers Friday game thread 1-14-2022

[Finito]

Ayton the only one that came to play tonight

 

[cheesebeef]

This is so ugly. Just zero flow whatsoever.

 

[Mainstreet]

Ayton has 19 points and 7 rebounds thus far.

 

[Chaplin]

This is the type of game that Cam Johnson would go off in.

 

[Mainstreet]

Ayton is getting fouled but not getting the calls.

 

[cheesebeef]

Even the crowd seems nonexistent

 

[Mainstreet]

Crowder out with 3 fouls.

 

[Finito]

Jesus Crowder has been awful tonight

 

[Mainstreet]

Even the crowd seems nonexistent

Almost like Toronto.

 

[95pro]

I really would like to move Crowder. Our starting lineup just isn’t dynamic enough with him, especially when you have Bridges and Ayton who can’t create for themselves as well.

 

[Finito]

Get that Stix

 

[Mainstreet]

Stix with the block at buzzer. Nice.

 

[Suns_fan69]

Stix says no.

 

[Mainstreet]

Halftime:

Suns 46 - Pacers 38

 

[Chaplin]

I really would like to move Crowder. Our starting lineup just isn’t dynamic enough with him, especially when you have Bridges and Ayton who can’t create for themselves as well.

I’m disappointed with him tonight but I think you undervalue his contribution to the defense.

 

[Finito]

Stix is a rebounding fool. That dude is active.

 

[cheesebeef]

Ayton with the nice turnaround jumper and Stix swats the layup attempt to close the half strong.

Don't need to move him, just swap Cam J into the starting lineup.

 

[Proximo]

Suns should really be blowing them out. Need to get the offense going.

 

[Finito]

Don't need to move him, just swap Cam J into the starting lineup.

Then that hurts the bench

He’s just streaky, some nights he’s great other nights he sucks.

 

[Chaplin]

Then that hurts the bench

Disagree. I think it would help the defense of the second unit. Crowder/McGee/Stix could defensively have a similar impact as Ayton/CamJ/Bridges. Only thing putting the first unit over the top is Bridges better on ball defending.

Suns don't win at Toronto without Crowder.

 

[Mainstreet]

Pacers are not giving Crowder the open three. This is one of the reasons why he is taking some off balance shots.

 

[Proximo]

Then that hurts the bench

A little, but it’s time for shamet and Payne to up their games.

our bench would still be better than most, and I would rather have our best possible lineup to start and end the game.
