Suns @ Pistons Sunday game thread 1-16-2022

Great. So knowing Ayton he’s probably out for two weeks with another week to get back his conditioning.

A good reminder why we probably shouldn’t trade Stix. Big men depth is a premium and we’ve got it right now.

Suns definitely depth at the 4 position.

3rd quarter BLITZ INC

Let’s put this team away. Cade and Bey have been solid so far. Book is playing great and getting to his midrange. CP3 has been a bit quiet scoring wise but that feels like par for the course.

Here is a hint at how the Suns viewed Jalen Smith in the draft... more of a Jerami Grant type player.

I don’t understand how anyone could’ve seen his tape in college and think “jerami grant.” That comment concerns me.

A long mobile big man with some shooting ability? How can that NOT lead to a Jerami Grant?

I'm ok with DA sitting as long as he needs at this point in the season.
It'll give Bigmak court time to gel with everyone. And Stix time to show what he's got, to us and the league.

Good 1st half

Wish ayton do bit more but ehhh not a max player imo

Book doin good so far

Hang on in 2nd half suns

Exactly. Grant could easily play the 3/4 position. Stix is more of a 5 hoping to transition to a 4.

 

[Mainstreet]

I hope Biz gets it going more in the 2nd half.

Yeah i think they thought they could turn him into a Grant like player.

And hell they might still do that.

Hes a smart kid

 

[Mainstreet]

Good to see Paul hit a shot to open the 2nd half.

 

[eastcoastSUN]

Hopefully DA has just an ankle tweak/minor sprain. Most likely will keep him out of the game for tomorrow against the Spurs. But we have some great depth behind him

 

[Muggz]

They have nothing for Javalle tonight hes just Oliver Millering his way through the Pistons.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

I assume you’re being facetious now, right?

 

[Mainstreet]

Gotta finish Mikal.

 

[Mainstreet]

McGee!!!

 

[Muggz]

WOW

 

[Chaplin]

Exactly. Grant could easily play the 3/4 position. Stix is more of a 5 hoping to transition to a 4.

So you actually think a 5 in college is the same as a 5 in the pros?

Face it: the difference between a 5 in college and a 5 in pros is much bigger than between a 5 in college and a 4 in the pros.

Why everyone turns to stupidity by James Jones as an excuse is beyond me.

 

[Muggz]

Ok DA time to give that Jacket to McGee.

 

[Mainstreet]

Jae Crowder hits the three.

Apparently that's what the Suns thought.

 

[Finito]

Bridges jumps in the air and passes leading to a turnover

This is becoming his trade mark move

 

[Chaplin]

Apparently that's what the Suns thought.

Huh? They said they wanted him to be like Jerami Grant. Who is not a center.

The fact that smith hasn’t been able to transition to it is the problem for the suns.

 

[Mainstreet]

Eddie Johnson praising Trey Lyles.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Pistons player was out of bounds. It should have been Suns ball.

 

[Mainstreet]

Booker skies for slam.
