Baynes aged 40 years in a month

Pathetic.
Baynes-Ayton is a gimmick that we shouldn’t be playing heavy minutes. The D is just letting Baynes beat them and it’s working.

We spent the off-season accumulating shooters and we suck at 3s and take a million mid-range jumpers.
At least Eddie Johnson is happy.

Fuck. I despise the moment this team/coach decided to depend on Baynes hitting threes consistently as part of their offensive plan

Agree. Dude regressed BIG TIME. Has his defense always been the bad? He's one dimensional. Top of the arc 3 and nothing else.
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

Every single shot they take is wide open. This defense is pathetic. It’s not one person.
Baynes Ayton needs to stop. Baynes is a 15 mpg player. He had a lucky stretch to start the year. He is what he is.
This team needs a shakeup in the worst way

Playing Baynes at PF might have worked in the 80's, but it doesn't work in the 20's.

Yeah. His stretch to start the year was a mirage. He was just hot. Back to earth now.AmareIsGod wrote: ↑Sun Jan 05, 2020 7:43 pmAgree. Dude regressed BIG TIME. Has his defense always been the bad? He's one dimensional. Top of the arc 3 and nothing else.

Such an infuriating team to watch. Tonight is more painful than the Lakers game.

Monty is losing some of his luster.

Ayton is +7 tonight. What am I missing? Has he actually played well?

MEM 3pt percentage (42) only slightly worse than our 2pt (45.6). They have 16 makes from deep compared to our 5.

Our interior defense is a joke.

Baynes comes in an promptly plays terrible PnR defense. Leads to an And1.

Booker another 30 point game. The rest of the team owes him an apology.
Re: Game Day: Grizzlies (14-22) @ Suns (14-21), Sun 1/5/20
Baynes -16, Ayton +9.

I’m annoyed tonight by his lack of offensive desire. Stop catching and shooting a midranger. Dribble!!!!! Demand the ball for the love of God.JeremyG wrote: ↑Sun Jan 05, 2020 7:53 pmYes.
