Re: All Things Ayton
His suspension was when I truly considered he wasn’t going to be THAT guy. Then after the Bubble run I realized had Ayton not been suspended, Suns would have made the playoffs. And that would have meant a lot at that point. He sort of surprised during the Finals run but it was his last ditch moment to secure his bag, his play in the regular season was good to ok. Anyway I’m just purging the last of the Ayton bs. I’m ready for the regular season.Kryptonic wrote: ↑Tue Oct 03, 2023 12:09 pmDamn.. Drew, you're on a roll....

The whole quote is laughable... He's like the boy who cried wolf.

I'll sign the same. Dude's name doesn't need for me to mention anymore in any other threads. Let him and his fans dream of him dominating with consistent effort. The story has been the same since college.Superbone wrote: ↑Tue Oct 03, 2023 12:11 pmCOSIGNED. I will not type Ayton's name in any thread other than this one from here on out.

Amended that I can type his name in a Suns/Portland game day thread as mentioned by Split above.
2nd Amendment: When he gets traded, I can type his name in those game day threads as well as the Around the League thread when the trade happens.
Prediction: He will have played for 5 teams or more when all is said and done.

Re: All Things Ayton
This is a great point that really hasn't been discussed. At least not in recent years. I vaguely remember it may have come up at the time. Probably even before the bubble. That was 25 games out of a 82 game schedule or over a quarter of them. I know we were all very disappointed at the time. I was going to say even Jeremy but I've been down that road before. Somehow, it was probably a good thing Ayton had accomplished.Drewsprocket wrote: ↑Tue Oct 03, 2023 12:19 pmHis suspension was when I truly considered he wasn’t going to be THAT guy.

Re: All Things Ayton
Fewer than 82 games that year; because of the covid stoppage, the Suns played 73, and went 34-39. It ended up being basically a third of the season for the suspension, and then he missed another ten games with injuries. Largely a lost season, at least until the bubble.Superbone wrote: ↑Tue Oct 03, 2023 12:24 pmThis is a great point that really hasn't been discussed. At least not in recent years.

Re: All Things Ayton
Wolf keeps calling him a mad king on the radio. Lol. That nails it. Ayton always thought he brought it and dominated.

I'm pretty sure at his older age, stoned from cannabis and several knee surgeries, Amare would still put up a fight and show Ayton a few things.JeremyG wrote: ↑Tue Oct 03, 2023 12:37 pmIf only everyone else would sign.

Re: 2023 General Offseason/PostSeason League News
Well I think despite everything most would be in DA corner to respond (on the court)
Actually, now I think about it
Draymond always would be trying to punk DA and I remember they getting in some tussles over rebounds/loose balls

Re: All Things Ayton
I don't think you know what hypocrisy is. If he spent 99% of his time posting about Amar'e, despite him no longer being a member of the Suns, then that would be hypocritical.
