Hope that trend doesn’t continue if true.

Don't drink the water

Ehhhh I don't like the sound of this. Hopefully the Wizards are more thorough with their testing

In two seasons against the Suns:

20,5 ppg, 12 rpg, 64% shooting.

without his perfect 14/14 game, his stats are:

17 ppg, 11,6 rpg, 51% shooting.

His only real bad game against us was the most recent one:

10 points 4/12 shot & 7 rebounds.

He's basically the center version of Jake Layman.

With several players listed out for the Wizards I wonder who'll be their Tyrese Maxey. Avdija? Mathews? Bertans? Well, we'll find out pretty soon. Just need to keep TO's in check and get to the line more.

These are the games Suns usually gave away hope this time is different.

Exactly! Hope they learned from previous Pistons game and dont become discombobulated when seeing a zone defense.

I dont quite enjoy huge double digit leads in the first half as many teams tend to fight back quickly and make it a game. Rather the game stays close and we pull away in the 3rd Q.

15 game win streak when shooting 35%+ from 3.

We're at the stage where if we play well 20 other teams can't beat us.

For those worrying about a Suns player being out after this for COVID protocols; don't stress; we already have Smith out for that, so we'll be fine. 8-)

Yeah, they have Bradley Beal who scored 60 a few days ago and they have a bunch of solid role players around him.

Avdija is playing well and I am interested in see him.

We need to win this one and with Westbrook and Bryant out we are favourites on paper, but after the Pistons game I am very cautious about it.

Right? That dude hass killed the suns ever sense they foolishly didn't bring him back.

Definitely has a trap game feel but hopefully the memory of the Detroit game keeps them focused.

With all that said with how many 3s are shot in today's NBA you're always a high variance game away from losing or beating ANYONE.

Suns need to get Ayton the ball and let him get more shots. Cp3, bridges and cam can’t be 2,3 and 4 in shot attempts. This team is on a crash course if they don’t fix this offense. How is your star player and 2nd best player taking less than 25 shots a game combined? Booker should be taking about 20 shots per game alone and ayton 15. Tok many 3s. This team is starting to look more and more like a regular season team than a playoff team.

Other intresting stats from the games so far: we only lost the 2nd quarter twice, once against the Clippers, once against Detroit.
We have won the first quarter only 4 times - and 2 of these were by only 1 point. Slow starts, and starters not gelling enough is a real thing.

alamin330 · Post #38 » by **alamin330** » Mon Jan 11, 2021 5:43 pm

I blame Chris paul and Monty Williams.
Monty Williams being stubborn again and Chris paul doesn’t even look for Ayton. Ayton is wide open about 3 times a game and I mean not a soul next to him and they shoot a 3. It’s ridiculous. Bridges just can’t be taking more shots than Ayton. Cam Johnson definitely can’t be taking the same amount of shots as Ayton.

WeekapaugGroove · Post #39 » by **WeekapaugGroove** » Mon Jan 11, 2021 5:50 pm

Bridges is their second best player so I have no issue with his shot attempts.

If you have an issue with how many 3s they take I'd pick another team (or sport) to root for or something because that ain't changing. It's not only how the NBA is played now but it's specifically how this team was built to play.

I think Bryant is out for the season due to ACL tear.

As a team what should Phoenix improve the most?
