Game Day: Suns (7-4) @ Grizzlies (6-6), Monday 1/18/2021

They aren't good until they can consistently beat the other team's starters.

It was one game, dude.

It has been like this the whole season.

Here's a link to the only game all season when our starters were better than our bench.

I think we’re talking about two different things. This was the first time we’ve used this starting lineup this year. This is the same starting lineup that went 8-0 in the bubble.

I agree, the starters have been outplayed all season long. Doesn't seem like Booker and Paul have figured out how to play with each other yet. Hopefully it happens soon.

OK, I thought you meant it was just one bad game.

The starting lineup from our last game is also the 3rd most used 5-man lineup this season. They are still a net negative.

The funny thing is that the only net-positive 5-man lineup that has played together more than 20 minutes all season doesn't include Chris Paul or Ayton or Crowder.

[Shabazz]

I think some smaller changes will go a long way. Lost in Ayton being more aggressive last game, we were better about where we got him the ball (not at the free throw line!). Now Paul just needs to take the open 3s when he has them and dribble a little less/push the ball a little more.

[INFORMER]

Crowder is playing fine. If we had VanFleet in Paul's place it would probably be better also.

Yeah, I don't have any issues with Crowder's play.

I'm still wishing we had gone in another direction. Crowder is a solid role player; I just don't think he is what we needed.

Bridges free throw shooting tonight

Wally, can you please translate this post for me from the Suns subreddit?

Must have 10th prestige, 25 kill streak, Hall of Fame level pussy because that shit is R A T I O i n g our child, the mocha mamba, cream tone Kobe, Nintendo Wii lookin ass Booker the savior of the City of Phoenix.

He’ll bounce back.
Everyone’s shots were not slapping tonight and if we would’ve shot average on free throws and maaaaaybe hit 2 extra 3s, we would’ve sealed the deal.

Also Deandre made me proud tonight and if he can play like that every night, and our fellas can get their heads out of their beautiful asses then we’ve got a top 4 team.

Until then we only speak doomsday and how much we hate our team until they win

Lmao

I’ll try...

Probably talking about Kendall Jenner and her perceived negative affect on Booker and crudely uses call of duty achievements to describe her... well you know, as the only reason why it must worth the trouble she brings.
Ratio is slang on Twitter when a replay gets more likes and retweet’s than the original tweet. So “RATIOing” in this context is referring to “Kendall Jenner is the reason Book sucks” narrative becoming the main talking point to roast Booker on social media this season. I think that is what they saying here lol.

the mocha mamba, cream tone Kobe, Nintendo Wii lookin ass

These are just nick names for Booker. Lol

Nintendo Wii one I assuming because he looks an avatar on that system. Lol
