I noticed you all aren't arguing if Utah fans are homophobic lol.

I don't think defensive positioning is Ayton's issue(s).
Trendon Watford. Please and thank you.
Re: Game Day: Suns (3-1) @ Jazz (2-1), Thurs 12/31/20
The Suns wouldn't do that.

Totally disagree. You're saying the refs and Secaucus, New Jersey with access to all angles and speeds were wrong? And you know better based on what you saw on TV?

Are you kidding? You haven't been paying attention then. I'm surprised.

There has been plenty of talk from others applauding his defense and calling our anchor. I'm not sure where you're coming from.
My issue is that he will sometimes get outworked on both sides of the ball.

I agree he has played pretty good defense. But defensive positioning has not been a strength. So many times he blocks out his guy while another waltzes in for a dunk while he just sits there watching. Dario, in that example showed how to cover all bases. Not just one.
And I do agree that he sometimes gets outworked on both sides. He also needs to work on consistent effort.

I grew up A member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormon) in Arizona during the 90s. Stockton and Malone were who I rooted for when the Suns weren’t playing.

I remember going to a UCLA-UofA game in 80 or 81.
I saw Bill Walton on the sidelines interviewing a UCLA player.
When I realized it was Walton I thought "Holy sh-t, who's the guy he's interviewing? He's huge ..."
It was Mark Eaton.
Window is open again ... blue skies ahead?

I have a really good friend that is named John that grew up Mormon in AZ in the 90s. I'm sure that applies to a lot of people tho.
Go Suns!

Yeah it isn’t exactly the most exotic profile. There’s a good chance I ran into your friend at EFY or church ball. My name is Jonathan Hendricks, and if we are good friends, then I’m disappointed we didn’t discuss this sooner.

Well, the next time I am in Arizona, Itd be great to get together for a game—I’d be happy to buy a drink for any posters that are around and would like to go.

The drama ended too soon. I was all ready for this site to turn into a Hallmark Christmas special.
