We could really use some games against Atlanta, Chicago, and cleveland

8 rebounds for the Suns halfway through the 2nd. Clips shooting 66%.

Suns aren’t getting offensive rebounds or playing good transition defense, so basically they aren’t playing hard.

If you're giving up 70 every game in the first half it's not hard to figure out what the problem is...

We nearly have as many turnovers (8) as rebounds (9) with 4 minutes to play in the 2nd :shock:

You let a team feel good about themselves by getting easy buckets and they’ll keep hitting the tougher ones too. Come out with some energy and our defense will look a lot better.

Also, how on earth can Ayton have just 1 FG attempt (which he made) closing in on half time???

We need a playmaker in the worst way

Good news: Ayton is shooting 100% from the field.

Bad news: he has 2 points.

Clippers have as many offensive rebounds as we do defensive (6 apiece) - so basically it's 50/50 who gets it after they miss a shot. That's pretty indicative of our effort and intensity in the first half.

Hey Sarver, how's that "no GM" working out for you?

interested to see if they change the starting 5 for the 2nd half (they wont).

We keep playing into the clips hands by forcing everything through booker. We need to run more stuff off ball for him.
That and we cant shoot or defend.

Can we just force feed Ayton in the 2nd half and see what happens. We are already down 30ish

Just wait until 2019-20 when he tries out his new “no coach” strategy!

We could...if we had someone on the roster who was capable of getting a clean pass into him.

I think I might start Oubre instead of TJ. Love TJ offensively, but I think we need Oubre defensively in that lineup. He’s also a better rebounder. Let warren come in and be the the go to 6th man.

I think ultimately TJ is a sixth man, but I'm not sure I would start Oubre over him.

We don’t really have anyone to start at the 4, just think Oubre might give us a different look and maybe help keep opposing teams under 40 in the first quarter

Booker getting frustrated by it...he’s been fouled pretty obviously 2 or 3 times this game on the drive that didn’t get called.
