All Things Ayton

[Split T]

I never thought the Ayton bickering would get worse with him off the team haha

[Flagrant Fowl]

Apparently the delusion is inversely proportional to his performance.

[specialsauce]

Why are his minutes so low? Just curious... Have only caught a little here and there of the blazers.

Foul trouble the first 2 games. Foul trouble + blowout the third game, with Grant and Ayton sitting the entire fourth quarter before their back-to-back game. Last night was his first game where he played more than 30 minutes.

Shocking that he can’t play 36 mpg. It’s his own damn doing. Sucking ass or being in foul trouble

There’s an excuse for everything

[Mori Chu]

Ayton has always been a good rebounder. He sometimes doesn't box out well, which he should work on, but in general he vacuums up boards. That has never been his problem.

Except for last playoffs when he averaged a whopping 9 moping through the year

Take a look at who is 6th in the NBA in steals:

Good for Ayton. Box score says he had a pretty solid game…did it against Monty too. Too bad no Duren

[Flagrant Fowl]

I’ll bet anything he’s not top 10 in total steals by Christmas.

[Split T]

Well I think that goes without saying…there is always fluky stuff early in the season

[Flagrant Fowl]

If only everyone understood that. And specifically steals which is the most volatile counting stat of them all.

Another good game for Ayton today though.

[Drewsprocket]

Good for him. Maybe he will have a good streak or year. Blazers are going to be in good shape once Scoot and Sharpe come together.

[JeremyG]

"It's a new era, man. And it's very fun just to be a part of all of this, and just to start over with a fresh start, but like, just not making the same mistakes I made."

He's now #1 in rebounds: https://www.nba.com/stats/leaders?StatCategory=REB

[Kryptonic]

Good for the big fella… they have a good young core and could be great in a couple years.

He certainly is "stealing" max money from the Blazers.

Give credit where it’s due. Leading the league in rebounding, sixth in steals, and shooting 60% from the field. It’s a good start. Outside of Embiid, Jokic, and maybe Duren, he’s arguably the best center in the league so far this season.

Meanwhile the Celtics are 4-0. It makes me sick that we helped them create a big 4 by destroying our big 4.

[Split T]

They would have got Jrue with or without our involvement.

We had a big 4?

[ShelC]

Cs are fool's gold. They're going to run those starters into the ground because they have no depth.

[Wally_West]

We never had a big four.
