Summer League: Suns vs Dallas

Post by AmareIsGod »

17 to 14. Suns up early. Warren had a nice little streak but we've gone a little cold after a hot start. #19 is doing pretty good for us. Stockton in the game for the first time I've seen during the summer league.

In full out development mode. Entire team playing for the Suns may not even play in the NBA this year. Brown hurt, Plumlee not playing, Goodwin out, Warren out, Ennis out, and obviously Len out with the broken finger.

I'm watching the game on the internet. Paid the $4.99 when the summer league started for all the games live plus the ability to watch all of the already played games on demand. Pretty cool.

I did the same thing on my phone.

Brown snagged his hand on another guys arm early in the 1st quarter after hitting a 3. Goodwin, Warren and Ennis were playing and all went to the bench towards the end of the 1st quarter.

Nice finish by Goodwin. His 2nd bucket. His jump shot / 3 point shot has look really flat though. Haven't seen him hit a jumper the last 2 games.

I use http://www4.ballstreams.com/ to watch the summer league, preseason, and regular season games. It's 90 bucks for the year.

Thanks iLLmatic. Might want to check that out, especially if I end up moving to Chicago for work.

Been a pretty poor 2nd quarter. Haven't seen much from Ennis to excite me. A few missed layups and nothing really with distribution of the ball. Had a jump shot early otherwise he's been pretty quiet.

Halfcourt jump shot by Dallas at the half. 8 to 0 run by Dallas at the end of the half.

Haven't seen much of Warren in the game, has taken 7 shots so far and only has 6 points. Haven't been impressed overall with Ennis, and Goodwin's game this summer seems to have regressed. The offense that Phoenix runs seems to be super stagnate and now only using iso dribble penetrations. Without Plumdog, Len or Brown, the Suns are pretty small out there. I'm sure Longabardi is going to make some excuse about that, but I honestly haven't seen any creativity from him other than a single play here or there to get a shot.

I agree. Not a huge fan of whatever offense Longabardi is running. Just a ton of stagnant isos.

This game is really pissing me off from an a competition standpoint. Longabardi needs to just stick to defensive assistant. This is super frustrating as a coach to watch.

The only person in the summer league shorter than Yuta is Longabardi.

iLL, does that site blackout the local games? I've been trying to find something to use to watch the Suns without having to purchase cable or satellite.

Ok, just getting back doored to death. If I was Horny, I might have a come to Jesus moment with Longabardi after the game. Jackie Carmichael and Griffin are playing very strong for Dallas. I guess it's going to be tough when most of the Suns bigs are out. Len, Plumlee, Brown, and Oriakhi was traded just prior, all not playing.
