Game Day: Suns (11-33) @ Pacers (28-14), Tues 1/15/19

[In2ition]

It always feels like the every 2 of 3 games the Suns are up against one of the very best teams in the NBA. This is going to be a tough game, with a healthy Indiana lineup.

By virtue of being (a) in the Western Conference and (b) the only Western Conference team that doesn’t have any games scheduled against us, we do have the toughest schedule in the NBA.

Haha, no doubt.

We've come out a little flat and Headband Booker is having a tough time getting worked in. Melton looks spry, TJ's legs look heavy, we're not looking for Ayton at all and can't keep up the quick pace. Our halfcourt defense has been solid, still getting a lot of deflections and disrupting passing lanes.

Melton's next step has to be to shoot of the PnR. He's not even looking to score and it's making things easier on the defense. He's getting in the lane fine just needs a quick pullup or runner.

[TOO]

Booker looks like an idiot with that headband.

I'm confused as to why this team just looks lazier defensively when Booker plays.

[TOO]

7 turnovers in 8 minutes so far. Neat.

[Xylus]

Very disappointing play so far. Just totally lazy taking care of the ball.

[Xylus]

Holy shit we are bad right now. No energy whatsoever.

[TOO]

Turdfest. Suns are way better on their off days.

[AmareIsGod]

Glad Booker is back! The effort and care have returned.

[Xylus]

Suns got in the bonus 1:09 into the 2nd quarter. Not bad. Too bad they can't make free throws.

[TOO]

Josh Jacksons face after a made shot always makes me laugh.

[TOO]

The bench is more fun to watch than the starters, and I dont think its all that close right now.

[Xylus]

Lead cut from 19 down to 11 in the 2nd quarter.

Ayton has 12 and 5.

[TOO]

Kelly Oubre continues to be useful. Him and Bridges can be the F rotation for me, trade the other dudes, thanks.

[Flagrant Fowl]

They stopped turning it over but the defense was a sieve to close out the 2nd quarter.

The Pacers TV guys were talking about how Booker still needs to learn how to play with other players and I agree for the most part. He has a bit too much Kobe in his game sometimes.

[Gladiator]

I caught a little bit of the second and they looked to be really looking to feed it to Ayton down low (Oubre made two nice passes to him) Ayton made some nice moves and scored both times, which was encouraging.

[Xylus]

Oubre is a player. We should pay him.

[LazarusLong]

Booker ... is a bit out of sorts.
Getting burned on defense and chirping at the refs.
Not exactly contributing much.

Agreed, but he's not quite Kobe ...

[LazarusLong]

Looks like Suns forgot to come out and play in the third quarter ... ugh
