Ayton 10 for 14 and yet they don't give him the fucking ball at all in the 4th. WTF!
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

Time to face the fact that they aren't a playoff team and get all the young guys minutes.

See what you can get for Baynes. Trade or buy out Tyler Johnson. See if there's any interest out there in Saric.

Big picture: Booker has to be a bigger threat from long range. His 3-point shooting has dropped off considerably.
Trendon Watford. Please and thank you.

Suns let them shoot a healthy 42 percent from three.

Kelly's not the problem. I don't get the switching with Ayton on Fox. We need more size and athleticism at PF. We need reliable offense when Book is on the bench. Baynes lost whatever he had the first 15 or so games.
I call ass. People biased with Kelly because of his “swagger “
Lol ya got me!

For the love of God make a trade. Need a roster shake up badly. I can’t take these idiots any more. I need basketball players not fashionistas

He does but he had 34 on 12/21.

He is going to need to pick it up for sure if he wants to win a ship with the Lakers

One rebound for Ayton in the second half, first game under 10 rebounds this season.

Okobo has been pretty good this year
He deserves the backup PG job.
Out of who we have to choose from, yes. But I’ve noticed how stagnant the offense seems to get with him running it. Usually in the second half. He seems to be making shots but his decision making has been pretty poor.

Going to need a veteran back up if this bench is going to be a positive

Booker’s decline from 3 is strange. Our shooting lately has been pretty bad. Baynes started out hot and has come crashing back to earth. Cam is solid, but hasn’t done much the last few games. Kelly has been shooting well lately, but Okobo has felt like our most consistent shooter. He’s pretty solid when he’s left open. I’m curious what his percentage is this year.

Edit: .395 coming into the game, went 2/3 today which brings him up to .414. I think he may deserve more minutes.

Where all the Ayton haters at tonight? Cat got your tongues?
He had a nice first half and then they stopped feeding him so he went into hibernation and then he got his ass kicked (as did the rest of the team) in the second half. First half he was very dominant though.

Still refuses to box out :lol:

Do some push-ups now you stupid idiot

He puts all his brain power into his fashion show.
Pathetic. Get his ass out of town
Let’s get all the idiots out of town, and then forfeit the rest our our games because we don’t have enough guys left to field a team.

Is trading away Rubio in that equation?

He's certainly not untouchable.

+1

I don’t even think trading for Love could make us playoff team.
I feel really dumb for saying this was a playoff team earlier in the year. Even dumber for thinking we could be a top 6 team after that 7-4 start. They really pulled one over me.

Strange how badly Bridges has been lately. This was one of what I’d consider our smarter young players and he’s been one of the worst lately at making stupid plays and stupid fouls. Unreal.
