Game Day: Suns (31-39) vs Thunder (43-26), Mon 8/10/20

[Split T]

You wanna send a message, but I think we have to play Deandre.

[AmareIsGod]

This game sucks.

[ShelC]

Rubio needs to shoot it or give it up. WTF is he pump faking for. Misses a FT too so he's really off his game. They actually built their lead with Paul on the bench smfh.

Fuck Ayton. He's done everything he can to cost us this season.

There's other ways to send a message.

This is a must win game and playing Kaminsky instead really puts them at a disadvantage.

[ShelC]

I'd still sit his ass down for the game. If we lose, we lose. We're in this position anyway because he got suspended for 25 games. Didn't learn his lesson then.

I wouldn't be surprised if Ayton sits the 1st half and then Monty lets the players decide whether or not Ayton plays. THAT would be telling.

[bajanguy008]

What is telling is the players body language
We look rattled cuz we didn't expect to be in this hole
There's not much cheering come from the bench , seems quiet and like guys just hoping for things to change

[Wally_West]

Ayton is playing...

[Split T]

Lead down to 5

[The Bobster]

Rubio is one of the worst layup shooters I've ever seen. He's always been terrible at the rim.

[bajanguy008]

Might not seem like a big deal but although Jevon not gonna turn over CP3 no guard likes someone picking them up full court every possession especially a vet who on a back to back
That is taking them out of rhythm on O as he is basically the only one who can initiate

My boy Cam keeping me smiling at least but that first quarter was abysmal

[Wally_West]

I swear to god if I find out the league did some sort of mix up or something else that caused Ayton to miss his test, I’ll be so pissed. I’m gonna make a strongly worded email for sure!

[Split T]

Time to just feed Cam over and over

[The Bobster]

I really hate how the NBA has become a "shoot and fall down" league.

[ShelC]

Thunder with 8 threes so far so they've kept the lead up. Ayton in, being Ayton. He needs to learn to work his way onto the block instead of settling for posting up 18 ft out.

Cam's keeping us in the game with his 3pt shooting.

[Mori Chu]

The vibe of this thread is so negative. I know the Ayton thing is annoying, but we're still rooting for our guys to win here, and we still have a good chance. Saric, Cam, Book all playing well and keeping us in this game.

[Split T]

We could really use Kelly’s positive energy right now

[ShelC]

I know the Ayton thing is annoying

It would be annoying if this were a first offense. But he got suspended for 25 games after the 1st game of the season. And now with the season on the line he pulls this shit. A little more than annoying.

[Mori Chu]

Cam Payne has been such a great find. Delivering for us again. 6 points and 2 assists so far.

[bajanguy008]

Payne must have a headache
Surprised he not sub after the FTs

[Furlanfufi]

I think Ayton should give his game pay to Cam
