Yes he made it, but our last play was Canaan driving and then kicking out to Crawford for a 30 footer? Alrighty then.
Jones and Vogel gotta go.

Just glad they aren't down 40 after that half. Yikes.

He should definitely sit Booker and Ayton to start this second half to send them a message.

5 turnovers, 3 rebounds, and 2 assists for Ayton/Booker on 5-15 shooting (each 33%).

Not sure they'd get the message. If they don't understand what is happening then all hope is lost already.

I mean, look at this s***. This is the opening possession of the game. This is how we set the tone. This is not a rookie mistake. I honestly think Holmes needs to start over Ayton at this point.
Wow. I have no words.

Will we crack 20 wins this season? I think not.

I really in the being patient on Ayton camp but I gotta be honest
What you guys think happens in practice when Ayton goes against Richaun ? I actually really wondering if his not aggressive nature works against the high energy role player

No chance. Better chance we finish with more 20pt plus losses than actual wins, the 20pt losses already have a commanding lead in the race.

Can't blame Ryan Anderson or Tyson Chandler tonight. This team stinks.

Watching their "offense" and lack of communication on defense I'm not sure I could honestly say they practice at all anyway.

If I'm trying to be optimistic - we haven't lost by 50 yet...

I think the original Suns team (16-66) would give these guys a run for their money.

Next monday, Suns head to Philly where Embiid is waiting to destroy Ayton, they just added Butler, this is the night we get blown out by 50.

Embiid is going to absolutely kill Ayton. Ayton is one of the biggest pussies I've seen in awhile.

We play Ayton so far out, why not have him take some 3's? I mean what could it hurt at this point?

Ayton rolls to the basket often and never gets the ball and never really gets the ball fed to him down there. It seems weird but whatever.

Thunder are 12-19 from deep tonight. Suns are down 23 despite shooting 47% from the field.
