Suns @ Pelicans Friday game thread 2-19-2021

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

That he’s that athletic being coached by someone that doesn’t know how to use it?

I’m pretty sure Bryant isn’t telling him “go up soft.” I can’t dunk and I’m pretty sure I’d be pounding “dunk it” into his head every other sentence at this juncture.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Cant miss wide open 3s

 

[Chris_Sanders]

That’s not really a good answer. Is he afraid? Can he not jump enough to do it? What?

Again, this is Mark Bryant. Remember how big a dunker Bryant was? Yeah, me neither.

He hates.contact. Its why he is a puss.

I have never called a Sun a puss before this. He's soft as charmin

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Book can’t just fall asleep defensively like that

 

[Chaplin]

Stop giving excuses for coaching. Yes Ayton is soft but coaching still matters.

Same. Pound for pound and inch for inch softest big we have ever had imo.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Hahaha ******** Ayton sucks

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Of course coaching matters. But you have ZERO idea of how he’s being coached. What’s more likely? An undertalented brute like Bryant teaches Ayton to play soft or teaches him about physical post play?

Halftime:

Pelicans 66 - Suns 59

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Get this waste of space off this team

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Ayton hands. Sigh

 

[Proximo]

Our D sucks tonight.

What do you think? If he’s supposed to be teaching him about “physical post play,” he’s doing a terrible job at it.

And you if all people have little room to lecture me about what I don’t know about Deandre Ayton.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

What do you think? If he’s supposed to be teaching him about “physical post play,” he’s doing a terrible job at it.

He has been a puss even back to college. He is just a puss

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns highlight video during halftime is watching them hit threes.

 

[Proximo]

You can’t teach someone who doesn’t want to learn.

 

[Chaplin]

He has been a puss even back to college. He is just a puss

That means absolutely nothing outside of you just calling him names. Not productive at all.

Better to question how and why? And how to fix it. Are the coaches seeing what we are seeing or what?

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Giant Puss Ayton (GPA. This is his nickname going forward) got dominated in college by small school guys a foot shorter

 

[Carolinacacti]

After that half trade Bridges, Cam J and Ayton.

Chap...maybe you hold the player accountable for his performance

 

[Chris_Sanders]

You can’t teach someone who doesn’t want to learn.

You mean the guy who openly admitted to not watching any ge film for two years might be personally responsible for his performance? No it's coaching

 

[mjb21aztd]

Ugh not looking great right now

Hope for more spark in 2nd half...

 

[Chaplin]

Chap...maybe you hold the player accountable for his performance

Um... what? I’m not stupid.

I never said otherwise. But if it’s obvious he isn’t going to change in his own, then you have to look at other factors. Like other players and more importantly the coaches.

 

[Chaplin]

Just stop.

 

[Mainstreet]

During that six game winning streak I thought some of the Suns problems were solved but they still can't stop the opponents inside game and are reliant on the three point shot dropping.

The defensive effort has dropped way off as well.
