It's too bad Wemby is in this draft. Otherwise a team could sneak tank by trading for Ayton and making him their first or second option.

Props to Cam Payne. He played fast. Faster than Paul even
Well, that's not saying much. Paul barely gets it over the half court stripe in time on most possessions.

I don’t get the Landry hate tonight. I hate on him on a regular basis, but we was great tonight. A few blunders on offense, but he was by far our best defender on Murray, way better than Okogie.

TJ needs a minute raise after tonight.

Hope Ayton gets some confidence to go out and play with energy. He plays scared once he gets into foul trouble. He also gets called for a lot of bs. But he’s still has to play with energy.

Refs were trash tonight. We’re to believe Booker scored 45 points without anyone touching him all game.

He was a minus 10 bro. He couldn’t stay in front of anyone for longer than a second. Activity doesn’t mean effectiveness. He fucking moves needlessly like a spaz and they go right past him with ease.

If KD just shot normally, we would be up 2-1.
Might be up 2-1 if CP3 didn’t get hurt as well

Shamet had like 2 good sequences on Murray, other than that he fucking sucked.

We must have been watching different games…I also thought Landry was fine. His defense on Murray is good. He’s the only one, besides Okogie, who can get over the top of those Jokic screens.

Shamet had the lowest +/- on the Suns with -10
TJ the highest with +20
Hopefully Monty takes notice...

Btw, how do we have only one guy (KD 16 before Book had 2 with 6 seconds to go) that got to take free throws in the first 47:54 of the game?

4 points and 9 rebounds from your max player.

It's clear to me what our goal needs to be in the off-season. Get away from those two contracts that are dead weights around our neck. (Paul and Ayton)
Who's going to want him? First we missed out on Sabonis. Then we missed out on Turner.
One of the bad organizations, Houston is my guess.

Ayton had a clear lane twice with MPJ and Murray coming over to contest and he missed both and didn’t draw a foul. I probably could’ve scored on at least one of those

Charlotte, Houston, San Antonio, Dallas…maybe Indiana still wants him?

No fucking Clue to be honest. I'll take a bunch of role players.

This one really bugged me…like Ayton either jumps away from the play or he got moved very easily by Murray. Just bad defense.

TJ and Ross..they aren’t scared. Think I’d commit to 20 minutes at least for TJ. He’s better when he plays more and his defense held up ok. I think I’d still start Okogie, but TJ needs minutes.

I don't know if Ayton could've played a worse game even if he tried to.

TJ was good. Ross wasn't, but didn't do anything to really hurt the team. At least the Nuggets have to respect his shot.

I am honestly worried that Ayton may be delusional. Like he’s a narcissist incapable of seeing himself with clear eyes? The dominayton thing is a joke at this point.
