Well, I'm having a hard time coming up with five guys then.
This, especially if it also includes healthy.
Speaking of that, interesting that the first season we outsource our training to a for-profit company whose job it is to spend the least and charge the most, we have half our roster questionable for a good part of the season...
I don't think it would have been such a big problem if Ayton hadn't missed 25 games. And some injuries (Ayton's sprained ankle, Booker's bruised wrist) aren't something you can prevent. Rubio's and Baynes' injuries? Maybe.

Easy: Rubio, Booker, Oubre, Saric, Baynes.

I have been thinking the same thing. Maybe Ayton doesn’t end up putting banned substances, “on accident”, in his body under the old training group either. I would love to know what metrics they are measured at. If it’s keeping people on the floor they are not starting off very great.

The upside is that the team is 28 games in, with about two-thirds of the season left.
Plenty of time to regroup.

Bridges fg is 48%, his FT is almost 80%
He's shooting only 30% on threes this season, but historically he's been a good outside shooter, so I'm not too worried about this.
Historically?! This is his second season in the league.
Bridges has been a disappointment. I always felt his ceiling is a great role player, but right now, he isn't even a good role player. I expected great defense and great 3-point shooting, but so far he has been a mediocre at both. I really hope he turns it around.

Because shooting 58% and getting 16 points and 10 rebounds a night are worthless.
They replace a lot of those minutes with.... Frank Kaminsky.

The Suns shot 59% with only 4 turnovers in the first half which is terrific, until you see Houston shot 63% with only 4 turnovers.
Great game unless you like to see some defense.

If you’ve forgotten, he single-handedly won us a handful of games last year, usually on the defensive end, including an overtime that he completely took over.

They don’t care. All they want to do is whine and bitch about Ayton. Maybe they should leave and become Mavs fans. It’s getting really freaking old. Enough bagging on Ayton until he had a chance to play and prove them wrong.

Lol If someone can’t see the five guys picture my comment will look super random (there’s some pretty funky formatting from this site to my iphone ... blank messages and photos, messages fully struck through etc)
