Defense doesn’t look good early. Book/Saric is working

Keep Big Pussy on the bench. Don’t play him. Make him take the interview after the game and explain letting his teammates down again.

Dude has 2 whole responsibilities each day while locked in a bubble, show up to game/practice and get your test. What a dope.

Win or lose. You can’t play him. Plain and simple. Unless there’s a legit reason why he missed, I can’t imagine what that could be, you can’t play him.

I don't see any benefit in sitting Ayton out if he gets to the arena in time to play. Let him play, but talk to him about what a knucklehead he is later. Teaching him some kind of lesson today is not worth jeopardizing our team's success.

For all his physical limitations, Saric tries a lot harder than Ayton.
It's soooo frustrating.

He already did. There’s always next year. There has to be accountability. Unless something legit fucked him over, there is no excuse. This is bad. Like “one more fuck up, and you’re on trading block” bad.

Is there not anyone on the Suns’ Staff in charge of making sure players get to their test on time??? Like WTF? Youre in a bubble you should know where everyone is at? No?

No surprise, the team looks off. Book is forcing some things, not a lot of offense from anyone else.

That’s the other thing. How is this not supervised by the staff.

This is what I want to know as well. Even the league sending texts to players reminding them to get tested? Shouldn't they be getting tested around the same time every day? Honestly no excuse for this. He's a fucking child.

The only excuse here is that he got wrong info from the organization or staff in charge of testing. That’s the only excuse. If Ayton plays I would think it shows it was something of that nature, if he doesn’t then that should speak volumes.

Kaminsky might be the softest big man in Suns' history.

And that's saying a lot.
