I actually would counter that calling me drunk of stating my opinion on a player is an actual personal attack
Dude… you can’t argue with the biggest of fanboys.

We just watched Ayton miss like FIVE shots in a row right at the rim against a tiny team.

This is a frustrating game. I still can’t understand why this team has these nights where they can’t shoot.

it only happened a couple times last year but it’s happened like 10 times already this season.

Ayton should be better. Period. But he’s been better than most of the rest of the team so all this whining is a bit misplaced.

Aytons legs aren’t there, slight pass I’ll give him but these shots need to be drained.

Ayton is soft... but c'mon guys, is that a surprise? Geez...
The Suns as a team are shooting 36%...31% from three. THAT is as much a problem as Ayton is himself.

Ayton never gets to the line but 5/8 tonight. Shot not falling but getting to the line.

You mean Mikal Bridges having 2 points on 0/4 isn’t a problem

That sequence there is the source of my frustration. Cam draws a double and hands it off to Ayton who immediately shoots an 18 footer. Like nothing else but shoot the jumper.

But the shot is short and bounces all the way back to him.

The defense is completely out of position and he can two step to a layup but instead he tries a tough pass and has a kicked ball.

At any point Ayton could get to the rim in that and he just doesn't. It's jumper or pass. Nothing towards the rim

I understand...I just think this is a game the perfect illustration of what we all have felt about this counterfeit for a few years now ...SOFT

That wasn't my intent so I apologize. I was just asking if anyone who isnt from U of A was supporting him still. If there are then I am wrong and everything is fine with me being wrong.
Namaste
