Ayton is playing some defense tonight too. Oubre is definitely the Suns best forward after Warren.

Suns only trail 47-43 at the 7:01 mark of the 2nd quarter.

Nice pass by Bridges to a cutting Booker for the basket.

Jarrett Allen and Kurucs are killing the Suns.

Ayton has really started to show dominance in scoring and Reb the last few weeks, also nice to see him contesting alot more shots then last night, they need to run the offense through him tonight the nets can't guard him

16 pts, 8 rebounds, 3 blocks, before half time? Ya think?
All the great centers had growing pains and most of them played 4 years of college ball. Ayton is playing his 33rd NBA game after one year of college.

He’s doing great.

They look really emotionally spent.

I'd like for the Suns to give Okobo an opportunity with nothing happening at point guard.

Ayton is just bigger and longer than anyone else. He also has great hands and soft touch. Honestly, he could go for 40 points and I wouldn't be surprised. No idea if he will ever be more than just bad on defense, but he should easily be able to average 25-30 points per game.

Give me 12-18 rebounds per, and start blocking shots on the defensive end, plus your 25-30 point expectation, call it a hall of fame career, no?

The Nets have a lot of "Thomas Bryant" types. Unknown guys ready to have a career night. Who is Rodions Kurucs? Seems like he's the guys tonight. I've never seen him before or heard of him.

Maybe the Suns should run Thomas Bryant type plays for Ayton.

Ayton is not getting much help besides Booker.

I wish they could just have him play the entire game and not need rest , he's the only reason they aren't down by 30 , Crawford and Melton have been painful to watch tonight

I don't understand why Okobo hasn't seen the floor. Recall him from the G-League showcase just so he can watch us struggle without quality PG play. Melton has come back down to earth it seems. Not sure why Igor didn't go with him more last night in the 2nd half and in the overtimes.
