Who has the better stat line: Ayton or Nurk?

Grayson Allen.

What about Camara vs. Little, is that another one to look for?

Little dropping 20 tonight

Ok, now I know you're being silly

I don't think Little gets enough PT unless it's a rout. So I'm going with Toomany.

[TOO]

So funny the complete 180 of my opinion of Allen lol

Always understood why we wanted him but just always fucking hated him, to now I’m so happy we have him and hope we lock him up after this season. Wouldn’t even mind paying extra to keep him. Perfect role player on this team.

He's very very useful. He's basically doing what Cam J did but better.

[Superbone]

I'm just meh about him.... Wouldn't boo him but wouldn't cheer him either. Definitely wouldn't put him in the ROH.

Uh, dude, I don't think that's going to be an issue. He's never going to see a ring nor honor.

Sure. Although I think Camara is starting now.

We got the Xanax version of him or something. Super even keel and doesn't show much emotion. He got knocked down in mid air last game and just got up and calmly walked to the FT line.

Daaaamn... double OOF!

Got a call from my big sis asking if we wanted to go to the game tonight... I swear I'm not boo'ing him. I'm more pumped to see our boys put on an offensive onslaught tonight.

[SunsRIt]

I said in the other thread Nurk would go for 25 and 12 tonight.

He does seem more the type to stick it to his former team.

Sure. Although I think Camara is starting now.

He's starting but not playing more minutes nor putting great numbers (he's averaging 5.6pts, 4.3rbs in 24mpg)

Yeah, I think the hype and excitement for him has kinda gone off the rails based on his actual production. Portland has to root for something I guess.

Okay, so, we're playing our dear departed DA and his new team tonight. Can we all just agree to try to keep it chill and not overreact in either direction?

Let's mentally prepare for the fact that somebody is going to say something in this thread about Ayton or Nurkic that you don't agree with, and that's okay. You don't necessarily have to react / reply to it, or defend your guy, or call the other person a scruffy-looking nerf herder. That goes for both sides. Jeremy, your boy is probably going to get dissed in this thread, and his mistakes will be pointed out with enthusiasm, and generally there's going to be an anti-DA vibe in this thread, and I hope you can just let some of that go without feeling the need to write a ton of replies arguing with everyone in DA's defense. And other folks, there's no need to excessively bash Jeremy or make it personal if Ayton has a rough night tonight, or DomiNurkic goes off for 30 and 10, or whatever. Let's try to keep it civil.

Much love to all. GO SUNS!

[Nodack]

Just win baby!

[Split T]

What if Nurkic has a 40 point triple double? Can we be annoying then?

[Shabazz]

I don't think there's any reason to boo him, and he was a central figure in one of the greatest plays in Suns history (in my opinion) and a key player in a finals run. It just didn't work out and there's probably some blame to find on both ends. We got a good return on him, he hasn't really bad-mouthed the organization... to me it's all good.

+1

If Nurk has a 40-point triple-double I'll post a handmade photoshop of him in a Daddy outfit walking Ayton in the park in a stroller.

Can we see that anyway? It’s ok to have schadenfreude over DA. I get the tone police matters on the board. But it’s fun. It’s just a game. Nobody hates anybody here.
As much as I enjoy a little Ayton failure, I have been just as happy with his successes in his career. There’s no need to be one way about it.

[Superbone]

What can I say? The dude has an aptitude for metaphors.

[TOO]

I'm just stoked he's buying in.

[Superbone]

From the horses mouth. Funny how Gambo talks about the “previous guy”.
