How do you even stop ayton... he's making these mid rangers with a hand in his face.

Just have to try to deny him the ball

 

[fansinceday1]

Huerter needed that one!

Ayton has gotten so much better.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Just wear him out. They are shooting 60 percent and we are at 35. Likely balances out. I’d say we are playing good defense overall

 

[Ozymandias]

Brick 3 after brick 3....getting away from them fast

We grabbing offensive boards in this one!

Kings avg 9 oboards one of the lowest #'s in the league n we've been sitting on 7

He’s pretty unstoppable in the midrange if they make it a point to get him the ball. He seems to alternate from being a main option or a player that has to get his points off second chance or rim running

part of that might be his fault too. He might just be a guy that doesn’t bring it every night

 

[KF8]

we need to get to the line more.. the main thing keeping us in it

 

[kingdivac]

Dumb foul

 

[Kingz19]

Sigh

 

[Letsgokings13]

Frustrating game.

 

[Ozymandias]

Huerter stepping up!

big shots!!!

 

[Kingz19]

How many and 1’s are the Kings going to allow in this one?

 

[Letsgokings13]

These suns commentators are so salty that huerter is in the three point contest. My gosh. Get over it.

Now just imagine if we could shoot well from 2 and 3 in the same game!

 

[fansinceday1]

That’s because the suns announcers have been trashing his 3 pt invite.

 

[gunks]

Good lord, Suns announcers complaining about Huerter making the 3pt contest over their guy for about 5 minutes straight and counting...

 

[Ozymandias]

3'Aaron

 

[fansinceday1]

I understand their argument. Their guy is shooting 45%. Huerter is what, 39? But geez, it’s just the 3 pt contest. Cmon!

 

[Caccia]

He needs to step up when Fox sits, especially with Monk out.

They miss his creativity. Plus, no one is running the pick and roll with Sabonis. Mitchell is not much of a passer, when you get right down to it. He averages only 2.1 assists in 18 minutes per game.

 

[kingdivac]

Kings did a decent job of not letting the quarter get out of control

Fairly certain Ayton isn't going to keep dominating mid-range jumpers like this and if we shoot better than 34% from 2 the 2nd half, we have a great shot to win this game.

Nice to see the 3's start to go down though

 

[KF8]

we basically don't have a point guard when Fox is out

 

[Kingz19]

Kings have their free throw shooting to thank for not being on the business end of a blowout right now.

that and the three

Phoenix shooting near 60 percent. Kings shooting 37.

The bench needs to be better. Terrible minutes from Davion and Metu.

 

[fansinceday1]

I’m impressed with the kings FT shooting. That use to be such an issue before this year.

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Man we need a interior defender. Sick of these easy layups.

Also Lets get Barnes in here. When he plays good we mostly win. Big when i know

Murray and Lyles need to step up a bit, and Davis will foul out likely. This is a big game to keep the Suns away from overtaking. Give em a "B" for the 1st half. Huerter hitting shots is a good sign to pick up scoring slack. This could be like the 2nd Mavs game finishing.

The best thing I saw was Murray being aggressive on those drives early out of the hand off. He got to his spin but got stumped by Booker on one play. He's got to learn how to sell that because 80% of the time that's a foul.

 

[Ozymandias]

great close to the half. lotta encouraging signs. this 3rd q should be action packed.

CP3 at times will be able to use his bag of tricks enough to match De'Aaron(as seen in the 1st q) so it's not entirely like a westbrook or conley situation where De'Aaron is simply the fresh legs making the experienced players look old. but if Fox can control the end of the quarter like what we just saw in the 2nd thats great for us, that sure is a good sign.


Ayton is doing a loooot of damage though. Like really a lot. I mean, we cant really stop him, if he's hitting that midrange shot its sorta pick your poison. I wish I had somethign smart to say about solutions to this issue but all I come up with is "this is why we pay mike brown the big $$$"

 

[Ozymandias]

Also lets just hope De'Aaron keeps making his 3's in this 2nd half, because with him going 3/5 I'm kinda thinking that means were gonna see another 2-3 attempts from deep from him at a minimum.
