Game Day: Suns (14-12) @ Trail Blazers (6-19), Tues 12/19/23
Time: 8:00 pm AZ (7:00 pm PT/10:00 pm ET)
Place: Moda Center, Portland, OR
TV: AZ Family 3TV/NBALP
The Blazers have lost 7 in a row but this may be a good chance for them to end the losing. They played the Warriors tight the other night and the Suns have been going through their struggles. Ayton vs Nurkic is always fun.

Great. Beal is out again. Groundhog Day 2023-2024.
What is smallball? I play basketball. I'm not a regular big man. I can switch from the center to the guards. The game is evolving. I'd be dominAyton if the WNBA would let me in. - Ayton

I mean, is it a surprise? Suns have said he is out until after the new year.

Haha, you can keep posting the same thing for the next 5 games, I think.

If Beal would just post some shirtless thirst trap... AIG would be fine. j/k

Not trying to pile on Ayton (I still honestly like the guy), but just from watching Suns and Blazers game, the impacts go way beyond the stats. Nurkic, most of the time, is having a significant positive impact for the Suns. I don't think Ayton is having the same impact for the Blazers; he's been struggling this year, regardless of what the stats say. I suppose Ayton should be like a 20 and 12 guy, so maybe the stats do show the struggle.

If the Suns' season would become a game show, it would be "Beal or No Beal"

What are the actual stats? I could care less about this season until the Suns nut up and look like a team with a fucking pulse. I'm behind the times on who's doing what.

The Nurk stats are right, but bkref has DA at 12.5/10.5/1.5/0.7
Though DA has missed a few games. Maybe the Tweeter was giving him 0s for those games.

The real stats don't make Ayton look any more like a max player. Nurk matches his stats while being a much more effective passer and facilitator, for half the price, along with Allen and Little in the package. Easy decision.
Re: Game Day: Suns (14-12) @ Trail Blazers (6-19), Tues 12/19/23
There are lots of Blazers fans on Twitter ready to move on from Ayton. That didn't last long.

DA is DA. Wouldn't be surprised if there's a bit more pep in his step tonight, looking for a good battle with him and Nurk. Simons has been on a tear and we've had trouble containing scoring guards. Grant can go off, Shaedeon, Brogdon, and Scoot...you just don't know which team of ours will show up.
Keeping an eye on Camara.
