I'm glad to see he's putting in the work. It's always good to work on the fundamentals.

I think he deserves if, frankly. Just as I was one of his biggest defenders, I am now one of his biggest detractors. He should have dominated in Portland. Instead, he proved his critics right.Cap wrote: ↑Sun Nov 03, 2024 7:42 amUgh.AmareIsGod wrote: ↑Sun Nov 03, 2024 7:36 amThere were many fans sitting around us screaming every time Ayton got the ball or whenever the PA announcer said his name terrible things.

And lots of people would look around laughing too when it was being said. Pretty embarrassing display by Suns fans last night.
Ayton seems like a pretty good guy. He just doesn’t have a head for basketball.

I watched late last night. Good thing my wife sleeps soundly because I was yelling at the TV in the fourth.

I will say, he did bring a lot of it upon himself. He insisted on being the #1 pick and then he always talked about dominating and DominAyton but always played with a finesse, no-contact style.virtual9mm wrote: ↑Sun Nov 03, 2024 9:05 amI think he deserves if, frankly.

He practiced this for a good 5 minutes. We were all watching wondering why the coaching staff didn't care. He practiced long Steph Curry 3's but as hook shots for another 5 minutes or so too.
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

This is just who he is as we learned in his years here. A fun loving guy that likes to have fun on the basketball court and on his couch with late night sessions of 2K. He's not going to ever change into a serious basketball player. It's just a means to an end. He's set for life financially now and got his goal of that second contract. The sooner everybody realizes that, the better. Portland is a great place for him. They don't have a lot of expectations.AmareIsGod wrote: ↑Sun Nov 03, 2024 9:30 amHe practiced this for a good 5 minutes. We were all watching wondering why the coaching staff didn't care.

That was definitely the highlight of the night. Tons of hustle and great ball movement.

The 3rd quarter gave us an idea of what this team is capable of.

Exactly. If we can do four quarters of that in the playoffs (all in the same game
