Timeout with the Suns leading 50-39.

 

[Mainstreet]

What about giving Bagley a technical?

 

[Hoop Head]

Dont like these early games.

 

[Mainstreet]

An invisible foul on Durant.

 

[Hoop Head]

58-49 Suns at halftime

 

[Mainstreet]

Halftime:

Suns 58 - Pistons 49

 

[Chaplin]

Kd once again is getting manhandled with no calls. So inconsistent with the officiating.

 

[Hoop Head]

KD has 17 points leading all scorers, but he's shooting 6-16. That needs to improve.

 

[Mainstreet]

Durant says he is not looking to take 20+ shots a game unless he has too. He has taken 16 already.

We were doing good as a team when he sat the first half of the 2nd quarter.

He came back in and the team just kept feeding him. We can’t just make him the focal point on offense when he comes back into games.

We really lack ball movement.

We're putting the most miles on our oldest vehicle and on top of that we've been driving up hill most the time

 

[Chaplin]

KBD has been having a great intangibles game (good game not on the stat sheet).

Durant has had to shoot a lot. The Suns are without Booker and Beal who act as combo guards.

lol Nurk not even looking at the rim when he's behind the 3 point line

 

[Mainstreet]

Gordon with a long three.

 

[Mainstreet]

Nurkic passes up a shot under the basket. He is lacking elevation.

 

[Mainstreet]

Those outside shots are like layups for Gordon.

 

[Hoop Head]

I really like the city court and jerseys for the Pistons.

 

[Mainstreet]

Finally, they are calling some of the fouls committed against Durant.

 

[Hoop Head]

That's odd. Not sure I've seen that before, a player/team getting 3 FT's on a flagrant. It makes some sense since it was in the act of shooting but still odd.

 

[Mainstreet]

Sasser is good.

 

[Mainstreet]

Durant is clutch even if well guarded.

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

KD so good

End of 3rd quarter:

Suns 92 - Pistons 80
