Game 56, The Return of Book: Phoenix Suns (29-26) @ Brooklyn Nets (32-21)

[MrMiyagi]

These damn refs are determined to call the softest of fouls for Cam Thomas.

The league trying to prevent KD from leaving for Golden State again

[garrick]

Feels like now would be a good time to call a time out Monty?

[grumpysaddle]

THAT was even worse than the moving screen call they called on Ayton. These refs are TRAAAASH.

Giving up that 10 point lead like it's nothing. So disappointing.

Book gets smacked and no And-1. Biased officiating is stupid.

[grumpysaddle]

Same exact thing, but this time Booker gets FTs? Why not also call it the previous time?

[grumpysaddle]

Why can't we get THIS Ayton every game? This is the one we need. Scoring off rebounds, playing with high effort, not being a sieve on defense.

[garrick]

I can't imagine being a Nets fan and having Simmons getting a max salary and having him wilt when none of his fellow stars are in the game.

The man has only attempted 2 shots all game and been invisible on offense and defense.

That's the nba every night though

[grumpysaddle]

Like I don't even feel like Ayton is trying hard out there, he's just playing with effort and purpose. No reason he can't do this every game.

He struggles against bulk and the Nets don't really have that.

Claxton is tall but he isn't physically imposing so Ayton isn't bothered by his length so much.

Does anyone have a good link? I can't get anything to work.

You don't just use the NBA app? Whenever the game is on TNT I like to use the four different perspectives to look at different angles. I will also have a different streaming link on so I can hear what the broadcasters are saying too though.

I don't really like to watch those angles. It is weird with no sound but I guess if I had a separate stream on, though it seems the stream would be behind.

Ayton, and pretty much everyone else is going to play a lot better on both ends when our starting lineup is healhty. The defensive rotations will work better because they have chemistry and there are not shuffling lineups and with more options, better players around, it opens up the game because it's tougher on the defense.

We really haven't had that all year this year.

[grumpysaddle]

Thomas has two great games in a row and he's already getting calls Booker's never gotten consistently.

[grumpysaddle]

Ishbia needs to get Torrey Craig a passing coach. Just 10000 passes a day until he knows how to do it. Some terrible terrible unforced turnovers the past few weeks.

[garrick]

Craig with another lazy bad pass in crunch time.

He should shoot the ball instead of trying to pass since he has hands of stone and is among the worst passers in the league.

[Slim Charless]

What a stupid pass by Craig....what the **** was that?

[grumpysaddle]

What a stupid pass by Craig....what the **** was that?

Brain fart.

Or more like brain shart.

[lilfishi22]

Focused and high energy DA is what I'm looking for

[garrick]

What a stupid pass by Craig....what the **** was that?

That's the difference between Jae and Craig.

While their stats are similar Jae is an above average passer while Craig must rank as one of the worst passers/ball handlers.
