Suns @ Warriors Friday game thread 12-27-19

[Mainstreet]

Carter is the first guard off the bench.

 

[Mainstreet]

End of 1st quarter:

Suns 29 - Warriors 25

With persistent double teams opponents are making Booker a willing distributor. He has 8 points and 3 assists.

 

[BC867]

Suns with 6 TO's vs. the Warriers 3.

 

[Mainstreet]

Rubio has made 2 really bad passes tonight.

 

[Mainstreet]

Baynes looks like the old Baynes tonight. He is moving well.

Maybe having 4 days off helped.

 

[CRC83]

Rubio has made 2 really bad passes tonight.

Yeah some in uncharacteristic turnovers to start the game.

Yeah some in uncharacteristic turnovers to start the game.

For sure. It's up to 4 turnovers and 2 assists for Rubio and only 2 points.

Oubre with 3 personal fouls is totally out of rhythm with 0 points.

 

[Mainstreet]

One thing I've noticed about Booker under Monty's coaching, he does not complain about calls from the referees much any more.

 

[Mainstreet]

Halftime:

Suns 51 - Warriors 43

 

[CardsSunsDbacks]

Wasn't able to see the first half. Were they playing great defense or was GS just missing a lot of open looks?

Warriors were missing a lot of shots more than good defense by the Suns.

Oubre and Rubio haven't made a FG. Booker, Saric and Baynes were particularly effective along with Kaminsky.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns already with 18 turnovers.

 

[Mainstreet]

Booker (11-18) looking good tonight with 28 points.

 

[Mainstreet]

End of 3rd quarter:

Suns 78 - Warriors 66

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Rubio having bad night.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Are you freaking kidding me?

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Book not clutch. Open three. Awful

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns flat footed as Warriors take 91-89 lead.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

This suns team is 100% back to being embarrassing.

 

[Mainstreet]

Book not clutch. Open three. Awful

Booker having a tough time getting it going again. Almost like he sat on the bench too long.

 

[CRC83]

Turnovers and our 3 pt shooting is killing us.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Watching this crap I’m just embarrassed I thought this team was improved.

We're at the point where Monty might need to forbid his players from shooting threes for a game or two. They are becoming overly dependent on the three and keep hoisting them even when the lane is open and the threes aren't falling. Sadly, this was very much a characteristic of last year's team as well.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Turnovers and our 3 pt shooting is killing us.

And this tram was supposed to be crafted to shoot the three. Embarrassing.

Monty's still a much better head coach than Igor was, but in some ways this year's roster is actually worse than last year's...
