Suns @ Wizards Wednesday game thread 12-28-2022

[TJ]

They got in town at 4 am and it shows. There is a reason the nbapa is trying to get rid of road b2b

It should die just like TNF without a bye week before ir

[TJ]

Also, Ayton has to recognize that when he’s the #1 scorer, he also has to give similar effort on defense and rebounds. 31 points is great. 7 boards is not

 

[Finito]

Biz must have not been 100% or he would be playing more tonight.

Or Monty had some sense and rode the hot hand in Ayton

I mean

You wanna go over all the great scorers in this league who don’t play defense?

10 would of been great though

When Ayton switched out on defense there was no one to protect the rim. The Suns did not have any answers when he went to the bench.

Landale was not effective at power forward tonight. Suns woes at power forward were again exposed.

This is going to be who we are for the next month.

Normally when you have a guy hit 30 and another 20 you have a shot at winning. Still losing by 25? Damn!!!

 

[mjb21aztd]

You let them smoke your stash bro?

Oh shoot it was a indica!!! Whoops no wonder looked slow on the court ton...

 

[Phrazbit]

I missed this entire game... feel fortunate.

 

[AzStevenCal]

I missed this entire game... feel fortunate.

Skipping the game when we're very short handed playing on the second night of a back to back road trip? I'm not sure whether I'd call that fortunate or smart.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Ayton LOVE the 20 points HATE the 2 rebounds

Yup. He had it going on offensively. But on a night when your team gets outrebounded by 16 you just can’t have your center end up with 7. That’s a let down.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

We have trailed or lost a lot games by 20+ this season. That’s ugly.

Bridges sucked . . . again

 

[Muggz]

We having fun yet.

 

[Cheesebeef]

I’m home for the holidays and my Dad keeps recording these early games while I’m working, thinking I’ll want to watch them when I’m done.

I don’t have the heart to tell him I’d much rather watch anything else, even one of the Bob Hearts Abishola reruns that my parents love but usually make me nauseous.

This just feels like a lost season already.

 

[mjb21aztd]

We having fun yet.

Not till cards lose by 20 to the falcons than its gonna be party city top 5 pick sbowl

Really hope suns fig stuff out go on a nice streak soon

 

[82CardsGrad]

Bridges sucked . . . again

Not sure what happened to him… he’s lost all confidence. No longer seems to be having fun. He’s literally a non-presence… What a bummer.

 

[Mainstreet]

Bridges' stats are not terrible, except he shot 6-15 to get to 17 points.

He had 4 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and a block with 0 turnovers.

The bigger problem is the Suns are in the midst of a tough 6 game road trip, crippled with injuries and badly in need of an influx of talent, particularly at power forward.

 

[Finito]

Not sure what happened to him… he’s lost all confidence. No longer seems to be having fun. He’s literally a non-presence… What a bummer.

His slashing to the hoop only to pass up wide open 8 footers is alarming. That’s Ben Simmons type stuff
