All Things Ayton

[3TheHardaway]

Why you guys all watching the Blazers haha…I’m trying to watch Wemby but he’s stuck on the bench in foul trouble…so sounds like you guys trying to watch Ayton

I'm irrationally hating ESPN's decision to keep a permanent Wemby stat line under their scoreboard. I'd understand if he was going for 30 points and 7 blocks or something. 13/5 in the 4th quarter is just obnoxious.

Between this and TNT making a dedicated video the day before with preseason highlights followed by quotes from prominent players as if to imply their reactions are in reference to the preseason sample size just feels like Wemby is being forced upon as the new face of the league. He may very well get there, but damn, let it happen. There are already guys in this league doing incredible things. Maybe don't ignore Booker going off for 20 points in a half to listen to Draymond give non-answers.

If he doesn’t live up to it, it’ll go away. Zion got the same treatment until he didn’t.

Yep, y'all are still obsessed with him. Even bringing back "SlamDunkleyKong" from Reddit I see.

Disappointed not to see Piano9717 in there, though.

Just admit you were wrong and keep it moving.

Because of one game? You all sure love to say a lot about one game. And then next game it will be crickets in here I'm sure.

I think all Suns fans are upset that our first number one overall pick was average.

And why do the losers get to talk during the broadcast? Why wasn't Beal talking?

You don't know us very well then. We give credit where credit is due.

[JeremyG]

Ya I do feel good about my bet with Jeremy…there’s no way Ayton leads this team in scoring. He’s not gonna get the shots

Even if they fed him the ball he'd just jab step into 6 jump shots and maybe hit half of them.

Hitting half of your jump shots puts you into elite territory in the NBA. You sure you want to call him elite?

[JeremyG]

Zubac always gives DA trouble so nothing surprising there. Happened in the playoffs a bunch.

Yep, that must be why we lost to the Clippers two series in three years.

[JeremyG]

Giving it a go and leaving the game would have been a better image, sitting out entirely basically buried the Suns’ chances and it wouldn’t surprise if someday we found out explicitly from one of the survivors from the purge, that this was where the camel’s back broke.

Nope, that would not have helped at all. Then you all would have just criticized his "effort" level if he was struggling to move around. And if he left the game, he would have been "quitting" (like the game 7 scapegoating the previous year).

Pretty sure that’s the point of this thread.

[Superbone]

Plus, we're all in this together if we want to hit 200. I think we get there by the end of the second week of the season. We can do it!

Nah, it was definitely because Devin Booker is better than Paul George.

[Charlie Smithy!]

Anybody have any ideas on how we should celebrate when this thread gets to 200 pages?

Lock it? Nah, some will never stop talking about our one and only 1st overall pick and I'd rather relegate it to one thread.

Do the Blazers play Cuba tomorrow?

How many times are you gonna die on DOMINAYTON hill?

[Superbone]

Next up, the Orlando Magic tomorrow. Do they still have all the length if I remember right from last year? Let's see how our man Ayton fares.

We kept up with Mikal and CamJ for a few games after the trade with BK. These first few games with DA will be intriguing but I'll prob lose interest after about 10 games. From the looks of things, the Blazers are just going to be bad and not really fun to watch and DA will still be DA.

Yep, I felt like I was done after a half last night but I went ahead and watched the second half. I'll record tomorrow's game and only watch when Ayton is in. I don't even think I made it 5 games with Mikal and Cam and I loved what those guys gave us and they were both up there as favorite players.
