I want Ayton to draw three fouls on Jazz defenders.
I want Ayton to take more free throws than Motley.

Yes. That's what I'm implying, but I'll start slowly with our third year, former #1 overall pick and be OK with drawing a few non-shooting fouls.

Welcome Rytacoza!

I’m not very picky when it comes to doughnuts.

Welcome aboard! You're not Ryan McDonaugh are you?
No definitely not Ryan McDonough! I actually was introduced to this site by a coworker 16 years ago when working for a company called Cable One in Phoenix. Ive always gone to this site to read your comments about my beloved team. I feel like you are all the most genuine, diehard fans. You must be to stick though all these Sarver years. Anyways, I finally am excited enough about the team that I decided to get in on the commentary and sign up for an account!

Some highlights of my time as a suns fan (I'm 36 years old):

When I was a teen playing basketball on a YMCA basketball team, Tom Chambers showed up as part of an initiative from the suns. He said if anyone could make a half court shot before he did, he'd give $20. I made it on my first try and he then said he didn't have any money...

As part of a fan fest at the arena (as a season ticket owner), I got paired up with suns assistant coach alvin gentry. We were in a game where you had to name someone from the nba top 100 players of all time list. We were the first pairing up, and I wanted to start with Jordan, but gentry said we needed to go more difficult to start. He said a name that wasn't on the 100 list and we were eliminated immediately.

My uncle sat on a plane with Barkley going back to Philadelphia during the 92 -93 season. They chatted it up and Barkley signed an airline pamphlet and made it out personally to me.... I was 8 and lost it within a year....

Shawn Marion was my favorite player. I got to meet him in passing a few times and he was always so nice! Have fond memories of him!

I saw Chambers playing pool in a bar I was playing at a long time ago playing pool. I decided to ask for his autograph. He signed it but him and his buddies looked at me very weird. I suppose it was kind of weird. I was pretty embarrassed after that.

I think autographs are kind of weird. I get it for kids, but something about an adult asking another adult for an autograph seems odd to me.

He has started the game with great aggressiveness.

Awful gamble by Bridges, leading to the Clarkson easy bucket.

I think we need to get on the phone and get JJ Barea in here. They need a third point guard.

I don't think I'll ever like Point Book.

Nope, firstly he just doesn't have a tight enough to handle pressured dribbles well, and I think it just wears him out. He's a great catch and shoot player.

THis feed from FoxSports AZ is awful. Very laggy.

Fairly ugly, scrappy game so far. Suns do not look at all cohesive.
