Not having a single guard available for the game really showed. Missing Jrue, Allen, Patty, Hill, and DiVencenzo. No ball handlers out there at all making it really hard to get open looks and set up half-court plays.

Maturity issues? Nah, not really.

As for the consistency, he has been consistently good for the Pacers and consistently underwhelming for everyone else. So, yeah, kinda

I did a quick search. He does have issues in his past.

Oh, trust me, I know all about that.

lol, not the outcome the Suns were hoping for on that replay.

That should have been a flagrant 2, absolute bush-league stuff from DeAndre Ayton.

Suns getting blown out by the heat . Giving up 71 points. Not sure whats going on there . Just a bad night. They can afford bad loss

And the Heat are doing it without Mario Chalmers. Also missing Butler and Bam

Sedale Threatt · Post #68 » by **Sedale Threatt** » Sun Jan 9, 2022 3:23 am

Chalmers is a huge loss. At least Kyle Guy is still playing.

What´s up with the Suns announcers and their dislike for Bill Kennedy?

SunsLyf3 · Post #73 » by **SunsLyf3** » Sun Jan 9, 2022 3:54 am

Suns didn't punish the Heat for the size difference. Would have liked to see Biyombo since his energy would have helped. Not blaming the refs but some questionable calls resulted in a 10-12 point swing in favor of Miami. Major props to Spoelstra though. He's schemed perfectly on defense despite the size disadvantage.

There was literally 5 obvious bullsh*t calls from him against the Suns. Off the top of my head, calling a flagrant on Ayton on that 3 where whoever shot jumped forward while Ayton was avoiding the contact, ball went off Yuetseven's leg super clearly, called Miami ball. Book got a charge on an obvious blocking foul after review. Quick tech on Cam Payne. And one more I can't remember that I was like WTF. Bill Kennedy lives in PHX. Just suspicious.

Heat really letting anybody do whatever on offense. Give it to **** Lowry ffs.

Weird game, Suns are shooting 45% from 3 and 41% from 2. Have 11 more made FTs but are getting absolutely pounded.

It's crazy how great Lowry is at running a team. I swear most people thought Raptor fans were stupid with constant talk about Lowry being underrated but times like this really show his worth. Miami has had no business staying at the level they're currently at with all their injuries.

First time watching Yurtseven. Seems to be an infuriating player to watch based of off this game lol. At least on offense.

Lance Stephenson has been Indiana's best PG since Lance Stephenson.

Tyler Herro and Duncan Robinson combining for 60 points on 57% fg, 55 3fg%, 100ft% probably has something to do with it.

Both guys are below league average ts% players.

Suns were just bad out of the gate and the Heat couldn't miss. Every team will have a bad game here and there over a 82 game stretch.
