I may actually get to watch this game, baby permitting. I know it probably seems like a low-priority watch, but I actually kind of like when we play bad teams. I like seeing us actually have a chance sometimes and not get behind by 30 by halftime. (Hopefully.) It'll also be fun to see what Trae is up to; he has had some nice plays in the past few weeks and seems to be figuring some things out.

I'll try not to say something that turns Trae Young into Steve Nash in the 4th Q this time.
👀 Fire Frank Vogel.

Ayton should take 30 shots. Just be aggressive. Dunk on everyone. Don't let John Collins make you his poster.
Go Suns!

Ayton says it’s time to dominate, I’ll be curious to see if he follows through.

A few things I'd like to see:
  • Play Bridges more
  • Play Josh Jackson less against big forwards
  • Play Melton more, give him Tyler Johnson's minutes (at least some)
  • Play Troy Daniels ... he is in the top 5 for 3-pt. FG percentage in Suns history.
Window is open again ... blue skies ahead?

Yep, a lot of people missed on him...I didn’t even bother to spend much time on him as a prospect

I liked him and watched him in college, but I didn't expect him to be this good.

I remember being impressed by his stats after the season was over, but I didn’t give him enough of a look because I assumed we were drafting too high and we just took two power forwards. I remember him being a bit undersized(short wingspan I believe) with no rim protection and not a shooter. I didn’t realize how athletic he was. He’s also developing nicely as a shooter.

Best watch this game. I feel MUCH better about them just in the first few minutes. Ayton is going for it

Ayton showing some legit aggression.

But it’s only been five minutes.

reading the game threads recently , Ayton usually has 8 or 10 in the first quarter and then I see posts like why has he only had 5 shots since the 1st quarter and stuff like that so let's see how tonight plays out

He's probably done getting touches for the night Booker, Oubre, and Johnson will carry the load for the rest of the evening.

I'm amazed at how much better this team plays when Booker is sitting on the bench
