Game Day: Suns (47-18) @ Hawks (36-30), Wed 5/5/21

[LazarusLong]

Need to get production from the other forward position: Johnson or Craig.

Ayton also not exactly lighting it up on offense ...

[Cap]

Cam J 0-6 from 3.

[The Bobster]

Cam Johnson 1-7.

ungh.

But he can make a highlight dunk when the game's out of reach!!!

Well he doesn't give it to you defensively or on the boards, so if he's not making shots - and he's not - I don't know why he's out there.

[Split T]

This cam Johnson shooting funk is getting pretty ridiculous...not sure I’ve seen such a bad funk that’s lasted so long. Weird stuff...

This feels like a loss...we’re giving up too easy of looks and Atlanta is not from deep as well. Shooting over 60% from the field and over 50% from 3. Hard to win that way

[Split T]

Cam Johnson 1-7.

ungh.

But he can make a highlight dunk when the game's out of reach!!!

Well he doesn't give it to you defensively or on the boards, so if he's not making shots - and he's not - I don't know why he's out there.

He’s actually one of our better defenders I think

[The Bobster]

Cam's last 8 games - 20/72 FG - 28%

And he's out there for his shooting.

[ShelC]

Cam's in a major funk. I'd love to see some of those Bridges plays for him flashing to the midpost for a shot or drive. This is where we're missing Jae. Also, what's the word on Dario?

Book comes to play every night so he's still in win mode but we'll see how the legs look in the 4th. The Hawks are just a little quicker, Gallo's hot and the balls are bouncing their way a bit more.

[Split T]

Gonna turn this one off...I’m done

[The Bobster]

This one's getting out of hand.

You let a team shoot 61% and you're going to be in trouble.

It ain't rocket science.

[The Bobster]

11-0 run to start the quarter.

[LazarusLong]

Figured this might be a loss. Hawks have some decent offensive firepower.
And Capela has evolved as a solid NBA center.

[LazarusLong]

Hawks outscoring Suns 46-23 in second half...

[The Bobster]

Hawks now shooting 63%

[The Bobster]

The Hawks' bench has just kicked the shit out of the Suns' bench.

[The Bobster]

26-4 so far in the 4th.

[Wally_West]

Not even mad, pretty much how I imagined this game would go after a OT game last night. Is what it is.

[LazarusLong]

The Hawks' bench has just kicked the shit out of the Suns' bench.

To be fair, Gallo is capable of busting 30 on a given night.
Lou Williams is still capable of 20.
Okongwu isn't half bad, either.

[Mori Chu]

Oof. Awful game. Well, at least we didn't give CP3 too many minutes...?

[AmareIsGod]

Got a new Suns shirt and decided to wear it today. Fuck me.

This game shows how important Crowder and Cam Johnson are for us going forward. I like Craig but he is what he is and certainly is not a starting PF in this league. I like him very much as a role player but not a starter.

If Cam Johnson shoots 20 % in the playoffs we are one and done. If Crowder and Saric are non contributors we are one and done. We need those guys to be relevant. Cam Payne also needs to step up.

The weakness of this roster is starting to show up. No legit PF or back up Point guard.

Those positions need to be fixed this off season.
