[ProdigalSun]

I have no nails left. 14 in a row!!!

 

[Vacard]

Ayton looks so soft when he tries to make the easiest basket right underneath the rim. It’s mind boggling

 

[Finito]

Ayton’s perimeter defense has gone AWOL the last couple years.

Years? He’s the best perimeter defender at the center position in the NBA. He’s been great defensively this season alone

 

[Mainstreet]

Ayton with 16 points and 9 rebounds. McGee with 13 points and 12 rebounds.

 

[Finito]

McGee is a tremendous backup center but I miss the insurance Frank Kaminsky provides when Ayton gets in foul trouble.

We def need a back up PF. Getting another big is going to be huge

 

[Mainstreet]

Except for free throw shooting, I have more confidence with McGee in the game instead of Ayton.

McGee simply doesn’t have the stamina that DA does.

I love EJ just busting Chambers’ balls.

Monty says the Suns are finding different ways to win games. Anything less stressful?

McGee simply doesn’t have the stamina that DA does.

Unfortunately. That said, it took a looooong time for McGee to actually become even somewhat reliable in the league. Remember it wasn’t that long ago that he was constantly mocked in the Shaqtin’ A Fool segments on TNT. But he plays with a confidence of a two time champion now.

Hopefully Ayton can get to a steadiness at crunch time. He was playing very well until a maddening last four minutes.

 

[Mainstreet]

Chris Paul with 17 points and 12 assists.

It’s like he has no idea he’s both bigger AND more athletic than anyone else on the court.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns play Knicks and Nets Friday and Saturday respectively. They play the Warriors at home next Tuesday.
