Deandre Ayton returns!!! Let's hope he is the difference for us in getting over the hump. Tough team to start against though with a rested Leonard.

Go Suns!!!

A new era begins tonight with our generational, self-proclaimed Center.

[Indy]

Can't wait to see him dominate and lead us to a top 4 seed.

[Mori Chu]

I am so excited for this game. I don't want to set my expectations too high on Ayton, but I really want him to come out there and destroy the Clips.

[Shabazz]

Watch Ayton pick up 2 quick fouls defending Zubac.

I may go to this one.

GO! You can be our eyes and ears on the ground. The broadcasters will be nothing but complimentary of everything. We need someone there whose compensation isn't directly tied to what they say about the team.

Do it!

Pretty sure when Cam has his hip surgery before the season started the way they talked about it was "this will get him more mobility than he had in college" instead of a "we have to fix something that is broken, like he did in college." Hmm.

[JeremyG]

Ayton's gonna feel a ton of pressure tonight with no Booker.

[JeremyG]

Interesting how this entire article contains no mention of the suspension or why Ayton has not been playing for 2 months lol: https://www.nba.com/suns/features/deand ... fella-back

[Nodack]

It’s a feel good piece. Talking about his suspension isn’t going to make people feel good.

[Flagrant Fowl]

Best believe the Clippers remember their loss to the Suns in October.

[Nodack]

And I doubt they feel sorry for the Suns without Booker.

I wonder what happened to Diallo like some have said. He was playing pretty good and some of us wondered why he wasn’t getting more playing time with Ayton and Baynes out. He did kind of stink up the place the last time he played and hasn’t seen any playing time since, so....

[Wally_West]

My gut tells me a Clippers win, and in convincing fashion. Ayton will probably be pretty rusty too.

[Wally_West]

I’m happy Deandre is back and will for sure be a big help, but the Suns problems go beyond what he can bring. Horrible effort at the start of games or start the 3rd Q, horrible execution to finish quarters/games. Those problems are going to take more than Ayton coming back. This team has been breaking my heart too much lately and I think I’ve become jaded. I don’t know what to expect at this point, besides frustration. I’m hoping for the best but this team is on a really bad stretch.

[Wally_West]

It’s nice to see Ayton’s size affecting some of the clippers shots but he hasn’t looked good so far but that’s kinda to be expected. He is essentially playing for this team for the first time, the is a different team from the opener.

[Wally_West]

Ayton looks lost

[Flagrant Fowl]

The whole team looks like shit.

[Wally_West]

Ayton might be finding his grove!


Kelly looks good so far, really gonna need him to have a big game to have a chance.
