Totally agree- once you take Ayton out of the scoring mix he will drift. The only way to hopefully keep him engaged on defense is to keep him engaged on the offensive end which is not what this team needs.
This team needs a player like Adam’s who knows his role and likes to mix it up down low.
Adams would be a perfect fit. Someone who knows his role, has a ton of heart, has some dog in him which this team desperately needs. would love this trade.
If he wants his team to give him the ball more, he should learn how to seal off his man. It sure did seem like his defender would reach around a poke the ball away 1-2 times a game.
I do t think Ayton wants to play as it’s too much pressure. This way if the Suns lose, Ayton won’t have any part in the lose.
I’m actually happy he’s not playing. If he were, he would be doging it due to his bruise.
I’m thinking about cutting cable next season but don’t want to miss any Suns games.
Would like to hear from anyone that lives in the valley that doesn’t have cable to ask what options there are for watching the games.
I’m surprised we had as many FT attempts as we did considering our entire team loves the midrange game. Even when Book drives, he usually pulls short to take the side bank shot after he feels ANY contact.
If the goal is to win a championship, but we haven’t even played one playoff game, then how in the world is this statement not premature?
Sure sounds like the sky is falling to me.
Solid game and this has to have felt good to get over a mental hurdle against the Mavs.
Suns now get two days of practice before taking on OK City which should be an easy win.
Durant just makes the game sooo much easier. If Book is off, just go to Durant for double teams and wide open looks.
Last two games both teams had a winning streak of 4-5 games and we won both easily.
This current team will struggle to make it out of the first round! I saw a team last night where nobody could stay in front of their man.. the Celtics broke down the Suns with ease.
Ayton never fights to establish really low position as he’s fine with settling for short hooks and jump shots.
He should be walking into 10 rebounds a game for his size, but lacks the fire. How many times last night did we see Torrey sprinting from the three point line to gobble up a rebound...
I agree that the Suns army as physical as other teams and is why we always get less trips to the line. I also don’t like complaining about the refs, but last night the disparity was awful. And the refs love rewarding guys like Bam that just throw their arms around and fall to the ground on every...
Maybe be able to fight through a screen.. not once did I ever see anyone fight through a screen so Dallas wouldn’t have the desired matchup on EVERY play.
