We can't buy a bucket. Our defense is doing the job, but we need points.

This is what mid-season feels like for a no.1 team

Ayton with a monster game. 19 and 7 already.

These team just has it in cruise control now.Not really all that exciting to watch.

Props to them for this defense. We really miss CamJo's spacing out there.

Ayton is playing like it's the playoffs, the only one.

Shamet getting the extended contract he did, be it two years or four, certainly has the appearance of an over pay given his highly spotty production on either end of the floor to date.

Crowder still seems rusty. I wouldn't be opposed to them shopping him in a package.

Bridges coming up cold doesn't help us at all no matter how good his defense might be. I'm sure he will get some buckets, but his shooting is needed.

This has been the case this whole year.

Think about it in another way though. Regular season wise Suns are the best team in the league. Everyone who plays against them plays harder than they usually would. Going after the top dog. I think it definitely has an impact.

Maybe we're expending our energy on defense, then we can turn up our offense when it matters.

Ya know, that's the next thing I was going to ask. I wonder if this is because the lesser teams give more effort than they might in other situations.

Cp3 is so sneaky and petty with pulling the rip-thru only when we're in the bonus LOL.

Let's goo!! Nice end of the first half.

I wanna see DA go for 40!

Crowder and Mikal giving us nothing. DA is playing amazing.

Strong half from Ayton and Stix.

Mulhollanddrive · Post #55 » by **Mulhollanddrive** » Sat Jan 15, 2022 1:11 am

How many shots will Ayton get in the 2nd half? I'm taking 5.

NapoleonII · Post #56 » by **NapoleonII** » Sat Jan 15, 2022 1:11 am

If Stix can hit that outside shot, he might be our counter to Bobby Portis.

Mulhollanddrive · Post #57 » by **Mulhollanddrive** » Sat Jan 15, 2022 1:13 am

He looks like a center playing perimeter, but maybe so would Thad Young.

Are we mostly Europeans here? Friday night early game, Americans are probably at a bar right now

Suns - 30
