Doncic with 23, 6 and 3 today on good efficiency in a 19 pt win for the Mavs. But yeah, glad to have Ayton :roll:

The Suns' "culture" is basically a lack of effort almost every night.

Another night with 35% shooting and 20 turnovers, this time resulting in a season-low 82 points.

And yet, for the season, the analytics have Ayton way ahead of Doncic.

We're extremely bad and it doesn't make much sense to be getting blown out by Brooklyn by 22 at HOME.

I was going to try and score tickets for Saturday but now I kind of don't even want to bother.
Go Suns!

When the Suns learn to stop turning the ball over, things will change. Maybe it's time to shake up the starting lineup.

How about starting Jamal Crawford at point guard? Any thoughts?

I really don't like reading your posts. Could you be any more negative about our guys? You must be a lot of fun to be around.
What is smallball? I play basketball. I'm not a regular big man. I can switch from the center to the guards. The game is evolving. I'd be dominAyton if the WNBA would let me in. - Ayton

They need to over pay for a good point guard before it kills morale on this team and we lose Booker. It’s worth it to give up a first rounder for a player who will help the team compete every night by reducing turnovers, enhance Aytons offense, and make a shot when needed.

Why not?! And this coming from someone who doesn't dislike Canaan. But I just got done thinking, "what is the purpose of having Jamal Crawford on this team?"

I know, I know, Doncic couldn't get by Ben Simmons on a fastbreak. Clearly it is better to have Ayton.

This team doesn't even have a pulse aside from Holmes and Booker. There is no accountability. No one even seems bothered by getting outhustled or blown out on the scoreboard.

If they are continuously coming mentally unprepared it tells me they are not buying In to what the coach wants. Major problem. This team won't win 10 games playing like this.

I'm glad they got booed.

As a fan on the bench, Dragan’s doing OK.
Tonight in the 3rd quarter he had the most energy I've seen from him for a long time on the bench.

they’re so thin at making good plays. Without a primary PG their offense all too easily is broken down. It seems that too much has to go right in order for the team to score or get a good look. Teams can just pack the paint and defend the pick and roll by forcing the suns into making shaky passes.
People are complaining about Ariza but they forget he is a systems player who makes shots based on good spacing and passing. His defense is suffering too because the suns are constantly reeling from a bad shot or pass.

The boo birds were out in full force tonight and for good reason. The Suns were extremely sloppy and lazy. No excuse for that. They need to learn to play with some Markieff effort from start to end.

Two steps forward, one step back. They didn’t have it tonight, mentally, physically or whatever. Booker was bricker but stil got his points.

Ayton.... they left Ayton open at the top of the key a lot. He didn’t seem interested in shooting or driving to the basket. In the third they come out of a time out and EJ pointed out that Ayton was mad and that’s when Ayton put on a spurt. Somebody found his button to push. :D

It looks like Bridges Is moving up the ladder fast.

The new Center looks pretty good to me.
