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

[The Bobster]

No words for how bad Booker was tonight.


Ungh.

[Flagrant Fowl]

Ayton finally shows a pulse and Booker can't hit a shot. I'm losing patience with Chris Paul. He's passing up open shots and dribbles into bad situations way too often. What a frustrating game.

[Pips]

Its sad to watch this game. Paul cant dribble chair.

[djy2j]

Refs blatantly don’t blow the whistle on the foul of Morant because they e already decided who’s winning.

[djy2j]

Ayton had a great game and played hard but I keep having to remind myself it was against a team that doesn’t have a center

[LazarusLong]

Too many turnovers (Paul had 6). Only 9-16 from the foul line.

Pissed away two 10-point leads.

[INFORMER]

That’s the Ayton we want to see

Yes, yes, yes, yes, YES!

This is the Ayton we need, and there was still room for improvement. But he showcased what he could be: attacking the rim, looking to score, making plays with his passing. Maybe he just needed a week off.

[INFORMER]

I think Cam Payne didn't believe the pass he was getting from Ayton

It was a great pass. Loved seeing that from Ayton.

[INFORMER]

Terrible offensive foul call.

Yeah, I didn't get that one. In live action it didn't seem like anything at all.

[Charlie Smithy!]

I probably shouldn't make this joke, but maybe he used the week off to start a new cycle?

I hated the trade, and I would love to see him traded asap, but I felt like he did better tonight in terms of finding opportunities to score , playing with a little more pace, and reducing the dribbling a bit.

And I loved him passing out of the layup midair to Bridges for the 3. Great heads-up play.

Honestly, I thought the same thing. I said to myself, "he found some new PEDs."

I'm guessing you understandably hated the trade because of some combination of Chris Paul's age, ceiling and style as a player, fit with our team, and his salary?

Yes sir. Very concise - well done. I'll be honest though, I didn't think his pace and dribbling would be so problematic to the team's rhythm. That has surprised me.

100% glad it wasn't just me then.

I obviously did not watch Chris Paul enough prior to the trade. Because I've also been surprised by this; I knew he wasn't Steve Nash or John Stockton, but I also wasn't expecting him to pound the ball like Marbury.

And as others have astutely mentioned, the pairing of him with Booker has been god-awful. I truly hope Devin's okay

[INFORMER]

I enjoyed watching Brandon Clarke tonight.

[Indy]

Do you guys remember when Booker was good?

When he didn't have his dick in the Kardashians.

You guys are better than this, right? Blaming Booker's awful play on a woman is shitty. Blame Booker, not his girlfriend. Why not blame his dog. Or all the time he spends playing COD? Or maybe he isn't what we thought he was.

Do you think he was a better use of the pick?

[INFORMER]

Booker is a stud. He could have an off year and I still wouldn't sell his stock.
