Game Day: Suns (2-10) @ Thunder (7-5), Mon 11/12/18

I love when Ayton challenges a shot then just stands out there watching his team fight for the rebound. No desire to go and get the ball or defend if the other team gets an offensive board. Just floating out there watching.

He has no motor. Laid back dude from the Caribbeans. Great.

[INFORMER]

Perfect ingredients for a "generational talent."

Well, he has the talent, that's for sure. What he does with it is another question.

[Drewsprocket]

How can the FO just let the Roster stay like this? Get a PG, what’s the point of signing Booker to a max deal when he’ll demand a trade and leave. Players aren’t going to suffer long like this. Things have changed now.

Just for kicks I would like to see a lineup of Crawford, Booker Warren Holmes and Ayton.

At this point I'm hoping they're waiting until December 15th so they can move Ariza for that PG.

[Nodack]

Only one other rookie has had more consecutive games of 10+ rebounds to start the season. Shaq and Ayton’s streak is still going. I don’t we can bash his rebounding too much.

He leads all rookies in double doubles with 8. The next closest is 5.

[djy2j]

I'm good on seeing Ariza on the court again. He's approaching the Chandler zone of worthlessness.

That 3rd quarter shows you how bad this team has been loafing this year.

Igor gets what he gets for putting the starters back sans Canaan when it was still in reach

[Superbone]

Watching Canaan and Ariza shooting 3's is the best. We have the luxury of bringing in 44yr old Jamal Crawford, this team is truly blessed.

Can we send the entire team down and call up our entire GLeague affiliate instead?

If nothing else, I bet they would play hard from start to finish. I’d rather watch that.

[Superbone]

Will we crack 20 wins this season? I think not.

No chance. Better chance we finish with more 20pt plus losses than actual wins, the 20pt losses already have a commanding lead in the race.

If I'm trying to be optimistic - we haven't lost by 50 yet...

Next monday, Suns head to Philly where Embiid is waiting to destroy Ayton, they just added Butler, this is the night we get blown out by 50.

At least Embiid will show Ayton what aggressiveness looks like. I seriously hope he does embarrass him and teach him a lesson.

Words.

[Superbone]

I think the original Suns team (16-66) would give these guys a run for their money.

No doubt.

Nobody here was interested in Schroder but he would have been way better at point for us than anything we’ve got.

Show us! Quit talking about it.

If Wall gets traded and does better for him and his new team elsewhere then we will soon be able to say this about him as well.

He's already been embarrassed quite a few times by various centers in the league. This dude is a bum until he shows otherwise. A difference maker he is not.

I feel like we've heard this already. He has to be one of most tissue soft centers in the league.

He has the physical stature to be a difference maker in the paint, altering shots, blocking shots, boxing out, making the opponents think twice about bringing it inside. Instead the other team routinely drives it to the bucket as he watches. Sure we don't have a point guard to feed him down low but he can contribute in so many other ways. I'm willing to give him more time but his style of play reflects his personality. He needs to start turning his aggression up a few notches, this ain't AAU ball any more.

[UglyTruth]

Start Holmes the next game over Ayton. Watch us actually get off to a good start.

Bum is too harsh but what a colossal mistake in taking Doncic over Ayton. Luka is already playing extremely well but damn, he’d have been a star playing under his old coach Kokoskov.
