These two posts are tempting me to write some scintillatingly scandalous Oubre fanfiction.

Yes I am getting a chuckle that the board has gone from Payne seems like a good guy you can root for but maybe as a 3rd string PG, we shouldn't count on him off 8 games in the bubble to now folks want him to start wow

I'm not sure how Payne would do in a featured role. I think he is best-served as a platoon type point guard. The Suns need to find another solid, midlevel guy, like Payne, to man the point guard spot. That is how the point guard position should look for this team, with Ayton living up to expectations, Booker being a superstar, and the CamBridges duo nailing 3s.

Who knows he might very well be fine but I think this role fits him as he changes the game when he comes in and it's working

Is there a reason why Marion and Amar’e aren’t in the Ring of Honor? They are absolutely deserving and seems strange they aren’t in.

Completely off-topic and totally unrelated to anything in this thread, but what is the penalty for a second PED violation?

Sarver a little butt-hurt at how they left?

A one year ban I think, ya downer.

[INFORMER]

Sorry, couldn't help it

[Wally_West]

I guess a second violation is 55 games and third is a two year ban.

It was an ugly ending. Looking at the big picture though, AYTON!

[Superbone]

They need to fix how they result challenges though...this should have been suns ball. And we should maintain our challenge for later.

Agreed. I was thinking the same thing. We secured the ball on the play. Why are we jumping? They need to revisit challenges.

[Superbone]

Ayton with 26 points, 17 rebounds, 5 blocks, 3 assists, 11/15 FG, 4/4 FT.

What did I tell you?

Wood 20/20 game on us, DMC prob 15 and 15, Wall prob 23 and 12?

And Ayton matches it.

Wood had 20/11 btw.

This is the Ayton I have been expecting all season. I hope he realizes what he is capable of every night.

Based on who wore the better Jerseys, Houston had no business winning this game.

Parts of this game were ugly, but I'm really happy to see Ayton play so well. We need him to be this guy if we're going to contend. My happiness with Ayton's great game outweighs any negative feelings I have about how others may not have played their best. Happy to get a win. This Houston team is weird; they're probably going to fall out of the playoffs, but they actually do have a lot of talented guys. Oladipo is great, Wall is good if he is healthy, Wood is a very nice center, and they still have a lot of random guys like Nwaba, Tucker, Gordon, etc. who can show up and surprise you. Plus they are probably happy to be out of all the Harden drama (Ewing theory). Hard to rate them or know exactly where they'll end up at the end of the season.
