Ayton needs to play tonight “and see how his ankle responds.” Nut up and play though it. You had 25 games off. Your team needs you.
Have you ever had a bad ankle sprain?
Have you ever elevated your scrotum?
LMFAO

Ayton off the bench. Interesting
Could actually be useful to give us some O from the bench

Why wouldn’t you look to post up booker on this backcourt all the time

Glad Ayton's back, but he looks a little stiff and sloppy so far. Oubre having a nice start to the game.

Some defensive minded suns fairly early. Hopefully the starters get the message

Can't say that I'm thrilled to see Carter in the game as our backup PG. I think Okobo has earned all of these minutes.

This team gives up more 4 point plays than anyone.They have to be leading the league in that.

Bullshit call on carter. Maybe wait till the 4th before you make blatant Star calls

As bummed out as we are at our team's recent swoon, Blazers fans have to be even more disappointed. They were the #3 seed last year, and they're floundering at 5 games under .500 now. Really fallen short of expectations. They seem like they should be better with so many talented veteran players like Lillard, McCollum, Melo, Whiteside, and so on. Depth looks like an issue, though; I don't like much of their bench at all.

Please no more Carter. 4 on 5 on offense. Overrated D.

Our best hope is that he cools off since no one wants to play D nor are trying to get him in foul trouble
