Game 50: Phoenix Suns (20-29) @ Brooklyn Nets (21-27), Monday, Feb 3, 5:30pm MST

Still waiting for "bigger chip on his shoulder" Booker to show up...

[Sunsss]

Mid-range and 3-pointer attempts numbers are going in the wrong direction over the last month or so. It can't continue like this. Booker should be the only guy taking contested mid-rangers.

Everyone's hurt. This team's going to be top 5 lotto if this keeps up.

[Kerrsed]

KLEON trolling as usual.

Solid game from Ayton on both sides of the floor. Matched up with 2 different types of Centers, Allen being more of a finesse player and Jordan down low and dirty. He kept Jordan out of the paint for the most part, limiting him to only 3 shot attempts and turning him into more of a facilitator, and also stretched Allen keeping him at more of a mid range. He even did a solid job guarding the smaller guys when he was switched off onto them.

25 and 17 with 5 assists and 2 blocks, pretty damn good.

we woulda won this if Booker didn't have a bad game. I think Ayton can still try harder though.

[LesGrossman]

Forget the result and the box score, this was actually a pretty encouraging game on both ends. I think theres light at the end of the tunnel.

[Saberestar]

Hopefully we trade for Kennard, we are in desperate need for a player like him.

Booker did not play a goog game and we have so few other options on offense.

Kennard can give us that punch coming from the bench.

this season is over. so it is better to look for moves for the future.

Yeah, it feels bad to say it but I agree. Not that I expected payoffs this year. Well, maybe a bit after a surprising start to the season but this season is over. Tankathon.com, here I come. Again

[kingstyyyle]

clueless = your post. he has improved by 1000% and is now solid and having a big impact on shots at the rim

Yes, look at the damn box score. Who out of the starters has made the biggest difference by far when they are on the floor indicated by +/-? https://www.espn.com/nba/boxscore?gameId=401161388

And 25 points on 12-22 shooting is not empty...and of course the rebounds, assists and blocks are not either.

People think Oubre has a great game when he is like 8-19 and has 5 turnovers with little defense.

I would argue against your point but I honestly can't be bothered constantly talking about Ayton(CHARMIN). I'll say that you know the Suns are really bad when most of you are praising mediocrity

25, 17, 5 and 2 is mediocre? When was the last time we had a player that could do that?

[sunsbg]

Watching a game right now of average EL teams and the ball movement is like 10x better than the one in BKN game. What happened with the 0.5s offense, the ball-movement is inexistent lately and everybody commits bad turnovers.

Kennard can give us that punch coming from the bench.

For next season? He’s not likely to play again this season.

He is expected to play after the All Star break.

I was at this game and honestly two things stood out:
1. Ayton had a monster game, but he COULD have had an even better one. He got beat on defense way too many times and his refusal to drive to the basket cost him even more points.

2. The Refs totally sucked the life out of the game. Too many whistles, game had no flow, no back and forth even when it was close. Made for really unentertaining basketball.
