That's because he is averaging 11.95, which rounds to 12.0 for the one decimal place official NBA statistics, but does not register as such for bkref search purposes.Cap wrote: ↑Fri Feb 07, 2020 6:28 pmIf you put in 18 and 12, Ayton would have missed.

That was a weak rationalization in the first place, and after tonight’s game is included in the results he’s down to 11.6818181818181818181818181818181818181, rounded up to 11.7.JeremyG wrote: ↑Fri Feb 07, 2020 7:24 pmThat's because he is averaging 11.95, which rounds to 12.0 for the one decimal place official NBA statistics, but does not register as such for bkref search purposes.Cap wrote: ↑Fri Feb 07, 2020 6:28 pmIf you put in 18 and 12, Ayton would have missed.

Re: Suns News: Week 15 2/3-2/9
I feel a lot better about the team after listening to Monty on AZ radio on Friday. We're all freaked out about the losses and the injury plagued bench but he isn't freaking out at all. He thinks we're right where we're supposed to be. It's a process. He can see that we're getting better every day in practice. Devin is happy with his situation. Of course, none of them like the losing but the gradual improvement and culture is there. I think the early success messed with us fans' expectations for this team.

Yeah, I don’t think we have to make the playoffs for Booker to be okay with the situation. We just need to finish the season strong. To put this in perspective, Booker has never even won 25 games in his career!Superbone wrote: ↑Sat Feb 08, 2020 12:02 pmI feel a lot better about the team after listening to Monty on AZ radio on Friday.

Re: Suns News: Week 15 2/3-2/9
His play in the second quarter last night was an abomination, to be sure.
He did come back better in the third quarter, but Williams elected to play Diallo more in the second half, with good results.
I'm inclined to cut Ayton a bit of slack, but patience is wearing thin ...

Suns general manager James Jones took outside flak for standing pat at Thursday’s trade deadline. Jones told The Athletic he did not want to disrupt the continuity of the roster and likes Phoenix’s consistent competitiveness when healthy. Kelly Oubre Jr., who dropped a career-high 39 points against the Rockets, acknowledged that Friday’s shootaround also came with a collective sense of relief.
“The first thing we said when we saw each other this morning was, ‘We made it,’ ” said Oubre, whose name was floated in trade speculation. “Everybody here loves each other. To leave this group of guys would be heartbreaking. But we’re all here, so it’s a blessing.”

Hey, just had a thought. Is Cubby no longer with us? Just curious as there's a troll over on the AZSF and I haven't heard about Cubby for years. Anybody know?

Re: Suns News: Week 15 2/3-2/9
I realize there is no way we will shoot the way we did last night on a regular basis, and neither will Kelly. But it would be great if he turns into a plus defender that can play the 3 and average 22/8 on 46/43/81 splits like he has been the last 10 games. I realize he still can't pass and makes poor decisions at times, but those other things outweigh that.
Re: Suns News: Week 15 2/3-2/9
As far as I know he is, he was posting just recently on another board after Kobe's death.

As long as he’s not here I don’t care.
Re: Suns News: Week 15 2/3-2/9
Agreed. Just curious. He seems like the type to pass on his posting style to his next of kin. Glad to be rid of him though.

Re: Suns News: Week 15 2/3-2/9
I thought I had heard a couple of years ago that he had passed away. I thought it was someone here that said it. Don’t know for sure though. What are we, 0-53 now? Let us proceed.

Nope, he’s still around. He’s been active on Twitter, mainly for politics (supporting Trump).SunsRIt wrote: ↑Sat Feb 08, 2020 5:06 pmI thought I had heard a couple of years ago that he had passed away.

I don't really look at any other Suns content other than an occasional scroll through reddit /r/suns or /r/nba. I haven't seen him.
