Game Day: Suns (20-30) @ Pistons (18-34), Wed 2/5/20

[Cap]

Mikal has to try and beat his man off the dribble. Never even tries.

I’m OK with him mostly standing in the corner if he can hit that shot like he used to.

[LazarusLong]

Starters, save for Rubio, all are scoring.
Detroit's bench is killing the Suns, 21-3

Bridges is 5-7 from the field with 6 boards. I don't think he's the problem.

[Flagrant Fowl]

It’s hard to win in the NBA with the three guys the Suns brought off of the bench tonight.

[Mori Chu]

Game slipping away. Rubio looks really off.

[ShelC]

Blow it all up, trade everyone by the deadline tomorrow.

[Gladiator]

We are really not very good at the moment

Ironically, Mr. 0-4 is the only Sun with a positive +/-.

[Gladiator]

Only one player has a steal (Rubio) and one (Ayton) has a block. Not sure I have ever seen that before and shows how intense we were on D.

Im only watching the games on delay since this team isn’t fun to watch very often these days. Not just the losing but the games just feel like I’m watching the same crap on replay constantly. Not sure the pistons would want any of our bench guys after that

[AmareIsGod]

If there really is anyone on the Kevin Love train, this game is for you. Watch the contribution the Pistons are getting from Blake Griffin (who is younger than Love) and think about getting something similar from Love over the next 3 years with 50 million more dollars guaranteed.

If he were playing which he isn't.

I was confused by that post. I wasn't sure if it was eluding to Love not producing because he will be hurt like Griffin or that he didn't realize Griffin is out for the year.

Pretty sure it was him implying that we’d be stuck with an injury prone, aging PF with an untradable contract. And very likely he’d be out hurt and providing nothing for us.

Yep that's what I meant.

Tom Gugliotta sighting!

I liked Aytons offense...but his defense I found offensive...HIYOoooooo.

But yeah nice offensive numbers. I can’t criticize his defense because he never attempted any.

I mean why make any trades to improve? This team is so close

This gave me a chuckle

I guess those 4 blocks were by accident then.

How about Drummond going 14-19 with seven ORB?

7 of those FG came when Ayton went to help on defense and nobody else picked up Drummond or Drummond scored over the player who switched onto him -

[djy2j]

I mean I wasn’t trying to crap on Aytons defense more so than just mentioning he had a tough night on the defensive end. But I mean to bring up his 4 blocks and not mention Drummonds shooting night on him, offensive rebounds he grabbed over him, countless buckets he allowed at the rim, seems like a bit of a misapprehension.

EJ even joked that he and Drummond had a meeting before the game to plan how they were going to let ea h other score.

So yes, he had 4 blocks also. I’m not blaming this loss on him. There’s a lot of things to spread the blame on

Seriously. Our higher salary players for the past 3 years have been non contributors. Honestly K Love is an upgrade from all the Ryan Andresons and TJs and the Tyson Chandlers.
