Ayton is so frustrating. He was showing early dominance down low but now looks completely passive on offense.

This is going to be a theme. He was like this in college and I'm not sure you can make a timid player aggressive. Even if he is a giant. I'm seeing it in my son. It's real difficult to change someone's personality and that stuff shines through in sports.
Go Suns!

Down by 4 at the half. Booker leads us with 13 but he's taking a lot of shots. Ayton has 6 points and 7 boards but sometimes he kind of disappears out there.

Johnson showed up. Shame Ayton isn't taking his own advice.

Huge fuck up by Bender there. Bad pass to lead a break and throws it right to a Hawk who passes it for a quick 3. Basically a 5-point turnaround on one play. Dumb.

Booker has consistently been making the wrong decision with the ball down the stretch of this game.

He's not a god damn point guard.

With Cleveland winning their 14th game tonight the "race" for the worst record is basically down to the Suns (11-50) and the Knicks (11-49).

In reality it just means the difference between finishing no worse than 4th in the draft or no worse than 5th.

He makes these mistakes every close game.

Ayton showing some legit aggression.

But it’s only been five minutes.
He's probably done getting touches for the night Booker, Oubre, and Johnson will carry the load for the rest of the evening.
1st Quarter -

Booker 3/10 - 8 pts
Ayton 3/4 - 6 pts

All you need to know.
You called it. Ayton's good for about 1 quarter of basketball.

That was pretty much ballgame right there. He took all of our momentum away. Horrible.
