Game Day: Suns @ Kings, Sat 12/28/19

[JeremyG]

14-point lead has been erased. Just like last night.

[The Bobster]

They got lucky there.

[BlaCkAdDa]

Finally won a game

Lucky as hell. Deserved to lose. Left Barnes wide ass open to win the game. How does that happen??

I’ll take the win any way we get it , but we need to figure our shit out defensively. And can we change our rotation for the love of God? Love that Frank didn’t get time in the second half. Can we just start Bridges at the 4? Have Cam back up Oubre. Saric back up Bridges. Never play Frank.

Booker played well offensively for the second game in a row. But the defense needs to be taken seriously if he ever wants to be a winner.

[djy2j]

Finally a win! Albeit not really deserved with the huge botched coverage on the last play. Was too tired to rewind to see who's fault.

This is the Booker we need. Aggressive. I still think he overpasses to guys when he's open though. Okobo and Saric mainly.

I don't get into analytics but it fee,s like Sarics usage is way to high. I feel like he's always got the ball as the final option when the clock is low in the first half. Just a hunch

No more Frank. He's like using a paper bag to stop a leak on defense.

[SDC]

Beating the king's was predictable. They lost to minnesota too in their last game.

[Cap]

It’s been so long since we’d seen that I’d forgotten about it.

[Indy]

Not playing Frank at all after 1st quarter really helped. Diallo wasn't great, but he was better than Frank.

It was nice to see Okobo get minutes in every quarter.

The 2nd half was really disturbing. We didn't have a single player have a net positive in Q3, and only Dario had a net positive in Q4. And that is with 9 guys playing between the two quarters.

[Indy]

Booker's got no faith in his 3. Either missing or passing up open looks.

I think with his wrist injury, and now his thumb, he just doesn't have the touch he needs.

I’ll take the win any way we get it , but we need to figure our s*** out defensively. And can we change our rotation for the love of God? Love that Frank didn’t get time in the second half. Can we just start Bridges at the 4? Have Cam back up Oubre. Saric back up Bridges. Never play Frank.

I think Saric is playing well enough to keep starting at the 4. But I could see Coach playing Diallo more if 4QF is struggling.

I fully expected us to lose at the buzzer. I just finished catching up on the last two games. Finally a win. Jeez.

[Superbone]

Baynes.

Baynes.

Yeah saw that after some tweets surfaced. Looks like he was pretty upset with himself. This team loses focus so easily. Obviously, Baynes not a habitual offender but it irritates me how often this team loses their man or falls asleep on defense. I know we are young but these "young" guys have been in the league a few years. Okobo will look fine for a game or 2 then just look absolutely lost.

[Superbone]

Yeah, Baynes should have known better. Glad to hear he was remorseful. Okobo has been consistently better than ever in my eyes. Sure, he still makes mistakes but I didn't even think he'd be in the rotation or maybe even on the team to start the season. He might be our most consistent backup PG now.

[Superbone]

Yeah, he knew he blew it.

[Indy]

I know his job is to protect the paint, and we want him doing that, but jfc the only way you can lose is on a 3 point shot or a foul on that drive. Let your teammate man-up and take his man, and you stay on yours! He is our best (only?) help defender in the paint, but dude, know the game situation!

First send it directly to Chuck for being lazy and going for that steal instead of guarding his man, forcing the rotations.
