Go Suns!!!

Dis • cuss

We finally get another home game. We have only had 4 of our first 13 games at home due to the postponed home-stand.

You know excitement about the team is high when the game day thread is posted the morning before the game.

Time to see if Ayton continues his good play vs. Jokic, whom he's played well against.

I had a few minutes before my next meeting started.

And I blame the lost week after that Wiz game. That really had me Jonesin' for Suns basketball.

He usually does really well against Denver. It is his 2nd highest ppg split at 22.0 ppg. Only Chicago is higher.

Even more so when it's a day and a morning before the game like this one.

I just want to see the aggressive Ayton again. Tear down the rim! Earn your Dominayton name.

He looks a completely different beast when he is aggressive. Long may it continue. I liked Paul and Booker both saying they will continue to be on him to do it every night. Lets hope it works.

Jalen Smith should be available.

Let's hope Ayton continues dominAyton this game.

Really hope Jalen Smith gets some minutes. He's been gone such a long time; it's odd. He can't be much worse than Kaminsky in those same minutes, right? If he can just catch a ball and get an occasional rebound, that'd be an improvement.

Frank is limited in so many ways, but he really does know where to be and knows his role. Jalen had no training camp, no real season in college, and has been out for most of this season. I think it will take a long time for him to catch up and just be able to know where to be on the court.

My thinking as well.

It would do a lot of Ayton's confidence if we performed well over these next 2 games. That would give him a 4 game stretch of consistently impacting the game offensively and defensively.

Looking forward to seeing Smith play well. However, a part of me wonders that if he really underperforms this year, perhaps Jones will be willing reconsider whether taking the best perceived roster fit should always trump talent (see Haliburton).

He's bringing sexy back.

That avatar reminds me of Nick Cannon for some reason.
