Ya that fumble was not on DA. I like what DA has done tonight.

I just finished he first quarter. Ayton making Valencunous look like a star with a near double double already.

Good close to the half
Re: Game Day: Grizzlies (17-18) @ Suns (25-12), Mon 3/15/21
That was not a good shot from Book...I know 2 for 1, but a 35 foot shot isn’t the answer.

Dammit Book
That's an easy 3 to end the half

Ya solid stuff. If we can keep Valunciunas off the glass, this is a win.bajanguy008 wrote: ↑Mon Mar 15, 2021 8:05 pmYea that was a bit ridiculous

It was more a case of him going to help on defense and nobody else being able to keep Steel City 128, Univ. City 127 off the offensive board.

He had a good 5 minute stretch to end the half after pussyfooting his way through the first quarter and a half of the game. Really, the whole team did. Chris should just take the night off, not playing well again tonight

Was not just that. DA had plenty of time to come back and crash the boards. Instead he was content just watching from the perimeterThe Bobster wrote: ↑Mon Mar 15, 2021 8:13 pmIt was more a case of him going to help on defense and nobody else being able to keep Steel City 128, Univ.

If you're expecting your center to go and help defensively and then get back and block out somebody that big, you're not going to find anybody in the league who'll do that consistently. Valanciunas is just too big.specialsauce wrote: ↑Mon Mar 15, 2021 8:15 pmWas not just that. DA had plenty of time to come back and crash the boards.

I just watched four Suns battle Valanciunas under the hoop as he got another put back. I was thinking, where is Ayton?! Then the camera pulled back and Ayton was the only Sun hanging out on the perimeter.

Defense is lacking here to start the 3rd

Why isn't there a dissection of Booker's defense every time he makes a mistake? Every time he can't keep a player out of the lane?

Does someone have a whistle in the crowd?

That’s fair...I think it’s mostly about expectation. For the record, I’m not gonna get after Ayton for not crashing the boards when he switches onto a perimeter guy. I think the Valunciunas boards are on the suns other defenders.The Bobster wrote: ↑Mon Mar 15, 2021 8:26 pmWhy isn't there a dissection of Booker's defense every time he makes a mistake?

Good D by Clarke on that lob. Book probably should have shovel passed that to Ayton...though Ayton catches lobs better than other passes.
