I like that Ayton is following his shots. Put it up on the rim and go after it if he misses a shot close to the rim.

He's had really soft touch on all those quick put backs too.

Ha. Well, there's a thought.

Seriously, the Suns need a point guard that will run the team and command attention.

 

[Mainstreet]

Booker should start taking it to the basket to get going.

 

[Mainstreet]

Just feed Ayton.

If it wasn’t for Ayton it’d be about 50-10 right now.

Yea Ayton!

 

[AzStevenCal]

Ayton is exhausted but WOW.

If you're looking to find a bright side (not easy to do right now), just remember it was only 3 or 4 weeks ago that a night like tonight would have resulted in a 9 point quarter.

The only brightside is how hard it was for me to find out what channel the game was on. Based on some other posts here I wasn't alone in that so maybe a lot of people will miss this blowout.

Feeding Ayton in the post seems to work. Maybe Igor stumbled on to to something.

Ignore everything except for the Ayton plays, they are worth the price of admission.

Ayton is learning how dominant he can be. And he is still learning.

 

[Finito]

I think the question is how good is Denver really?

Western conference finals?

 

[Mainstreet]

An Oubre sighting.

He needs to learn to get his opponent in foul trouble. That could help a lot against a team like Denver who run so much through Jokic.

Ayton could do this every night.

This is the next step hopefully.

Halftime:

Nuggets 62 - Suns 49

Nice comeback by the Suns.

Ayton says, "Shaq who? Hakeem who? David who? Patrick who? Anthony Who?"

 

[Proximo]

This is the ayton we have been waiting for.

 

[Mainstreet]

Ayton had 25 points and 9 rebounds in the first half.

I don't think they're that good but they can probably make it to the 2nd round. I think they're similar to last years Jazz team. Well coached, good bench, can play big or small, and they have a real homecourt advantage.

I don't think they can go farther than the 2nd round though because they don't really have a star they can count on in the playoffs. Jokic is really good but hasn't been the postseason yet. Millsap is old and isn't the sort of player you can ride deep into the postseason. If IT is able to play whenever he returns he could be big for them in the playoffs but he's not the type of player to win you a playoff series but he can win you a game or two.

Actually it’s pretty much just the second quarter.

24 in the 2nd qtr alone. This is the Ayton we've been waiting for.

Sounds like the talk that Booker and oubre had with him made a difference

 

[Bufalay]

It's on 686-1 on DirecTV.

Is that the score?
