Maybe don't ignore Booker going off for 20 points in a half to listen to Draymond give non-answers.Flagrant Fowl wrote: ↑Wed Oct 25, 2023 9:02 pmI'm irrationally hating ESPN's decision to keep a permanent Wemby stat line under their scoreboard.

If he doesn’t live up to it, it’ll go away. Zion got the same treatment until he didn’t.

Disappointed not to see Piano9717 in there, though.

Because of one game? You all sure love to say a lot about one game. And then next game it will be crickets in here I'm sure.

Re: All Things Ayton
I think all Suns fans are upset that our first number one overall pick was average.

Hitting half of your jump shots puts you into elite territory in the NBA. You sure you want to call him elite?Flagrant Fowl wrote: ↑Wed Oct 25, 2023 10:23 pmEven if they fed him the ball he'd just jab step into 6 jump shots and maybe hit half of them.

Re: All Things Ayton
Yep, that must be why we lost to the Clippers two series in three years.

Re: All Things Ayton
Nope, that would not have helped at all. Then you all would have just criticized his "effort" level if he was struggling to move around. And if he left the game, he would have been "quitting" (like the game 7 scapegoating the previous year).Aztec Sunsfan wrote: ↑Wed Oct 25, 2023 11:37 pmGiving it a go and leaving the game would have been a better image, sitting out entirely basically buried the Suns’ chances and it wouldn’t surprise if someday we found out explicitly from one of the survivors from the purge, that this was where the camel’s back broke.

Re: All Things Ayton
Plus, we're all in this together if we want to hit 200. I think we get there by the end of the second week of the season. We can do it!

Nah, it was definitely because Devin Booker is better than Paul George.

Anybody have any ideas on how we should celebrate when this thread gets to 200 pages?

Lock it? Nah, some will never stop talking about our one and only 1st overall pick and I'd rather relegate it to one thread.Charlie Smithy! wrote: ↑Thu Oct 26, 2023 3:33 pmAnybody have any ideas on how we should celebrate when this thread gets to 200 pages?![]()

Re: All Things Ayton
Next up, the Orlando Magic tomorrow. Do they still have all the length if I remember right from last year? Let's see how our man Ayton fares.

Re: All Things Ayton
We kept up with Mikal and CamJ for a few games after the trade with BK. These first few games with DA will be intriguing but I'll prob lose interest after about 10 games. From the looks of things, the Blazers are just going to be bad and not really fun to watch and DA will still be DA.
Re: All Things Ayton
Yep, I felt like I was done after a half last night but I went ahead and watched the second half. I'll record tomorrow's game and only watch when Ayton is in. I don't even think I made it 5 games with Mikal and Cam and I loved what those guys gave us and they were both up there as favorite players.ShelC wrote: ↑Thu Oct 26, 2023 4:21 pmWe kept up with Mikal and CamJ for a few games after the trade with BK.
