Knicks @ Suns Sunday game thread 11-20-2022

[Mainstreet]

Torrey is playing hard.

 

[Mainstreet]

Halftime:

Suns 55 - Knicks 53

Look at Ayton with 4 FT attempts!

And missing all of them.

 

[82CardsGrad]

Ayton is just a flat-out ZERO. Literally contributes nothing. Damn….

 

[Finito]

I do not have high hopes for this season

 

[Mainstreet]

This team looks like they aren’t running an offense. Just kind of winging it. When Paul was in there last year it was a lot of set plays and you could tell what they were doing I don’t see that this year

It has cost the Suns a lot of close games as well. The Suns don't value possessions like they should.

I like the zero part.

Ayton's play could be described as Ayton lite or Ayton zero.

Some halftime stats.

It's a shame the Suns can't get a couple of players back or a replacement for Crowder.

 

[cheesebeef]

I just can’t imagine freshly signing a contract that pays you 30 MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR and then just giving next to zero effort.

Like, KD is obviously miserable in Brooklyn but he’s a baller so he gets on the court and competitive juices can’t help themselves but start flowing.

Just speaks to the lack of NBA heart Ayton’s just never had.

I was so so so wrong about wanting him over Doncic. Totally got snowed by the size and athleticism and being a Center we’ve never had.

We don’t make the finals or have success we had last year without him. This relationship has run its course

 

[Mainstreet]

Ayton is playing tentative.

Diet Mountain Dew taste way better than Mountain Dew Zero

Random but that’s what came to my head

 

[Mainstreet]

This what Ayton needs to do.

 

[Finito]

He could do that every time

 

[Mainstreet]

Random but that’s what came to my head

Personally I am a diet Pepsi guy.

Never said anything about the last two years. I’m talking about today where he’s playing like a total dog. It’s unprofessional garbage befitting someone who’s got very little competitive fire in him.

And anyone who thinks he’s all of a sudden going to become a beast for another team is delusional. He’ll be better than this drek for sure. But not consistently. His entire career outside the first 3 rounds of the 2021 playoffs, he’s been up and down. Which is pathetic for a number 1 pick with all his natural talents.

 

[Mainstreet]

Booker feeling it from three.

 

[Mainstreet]

Ayton getting into a rhythm.

He has 8 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists. He also has a steal.

 

[Mainstreet]

There we go. Ayton scores again.

 

[cheesebeef]

Meanwhile, Ayton having a good quarter.

 

[Mainstreet]

Ayton playing like we know he can.

 

[Mainstreet]

Booker with a dagger.

 

[Mainstreet]

Need Washington to get hot.

 

[Mainstreet]

End of 3rd quarter:

Suns 90 - Knicks 75
