Ayton Possible 25 Game Suspension

[Split T]

25 is the new first time offense suspension. So nothing fishy or extra going on.

[Shabazz]

Being a Suns fan really is the worst.

I want to believe this will get reduced, but the NBA has a long history of dumb rulings with the Suns so who knows?

At least it's being fast-tracked, so we could have a resolution before tomorrow nights game.

The Suns winning by 29 triggered an automatic drug test for the entire team as stated in the NBA collective bargaining agreement (probably).

[iLLmatic]

Great.

[Gladiator]

F*ck, f*ck, f*ck
This just sucks. As others have noted, the length of the suspension is a bit weird

Thanks Split, that makes more sense.
I’m not hopeful on a reduction. Even if this is an innocent mistake, diuretics are a well known masking agent for performance enhancing drugs so it makes sense for the league to take a strong stance

[Maldonado]

Ugh.

[Flagrant Fowl]

That statement by James Jones is not at all promising.

No kidding. That statement makes it sound like Ayton did something blatantly stupid, instead of accidentally taking a supplement or something that he thought was okay. What a way to start a season...

[AmareIsGod]

This blows. Fuck!

[Drewsprocket]

Gotta be fracking kidding me!!! Jmfc. We need to catch a break.
Baynes is up to the task. He looks poised for a career year. Go Suns! Frank looks like he’ll have to chip in as well. Good grief.

Hey, if any of you are thinking of a last-minute gift idea for me, I have one. I'd like Robert Sarver, right here tonight. I want him brought from his happy Halloween slumber over there on Billionare Lane with all the other shitty richpeople, and I want him brought right here, with a big shitty ribbon on his head, and I want to look him straight in the eye and I want to tell him what a cheap, lying, Mother fucking no-good, rotten, Piece of shit, low-life, snake-licking, dirt eating, inbred, overstuffed, blood-sucking, dog-kissing, brainless, dickless, hopeless, heartless, fat-ass, bug-eyed, stiff-legged, spotty-lipped, worm-headed sack of monkey shit he is! His shitty, biased policies getting in the way of my fucking season following a 9 year stretch of the worst damn basketball this franchise has ever played! Hallelujah! Holy shit!

Where's the Tylenol?

[carey]

I'm just catching up with the news and, like James Jones, I'm fairly pissed off at Ayton. I was already sick of his mouth and now this. It's 1/3 of the damn season.

[Democritus]

Ok, Ayton just becomes JJ vol.2 with his actions off court. Big mouth with some faulty character.
What a disappointment.

[Superbone]

Suspension without pay, I hope. If this was his doing, he needs to learn a lesson. Baynes is going to have to learn to foul 3 times less per minute.

How can you be unaware of what you put in your own body?
