I’m betting we blow out the Wizards.
You know they use the expression a get right game? That’s what tomorrow is. Atlanta out scored us by 33 points from beyond the arc and we lost by 9 with Ayton scoring 6 points….just one of those nights. Honestly, I’m glad it happened at the beginning of the road trip so we can refocus. Let’s get DA going tomorrow. I hope Bridges stays aggressive and we can rest CP3 and Book at say 25-30 minutes.

Monty plans to go with two centers tonight unless there is foul trouble.

Suns went back to core principles of defense in shootaround.

Monty thinks Deandre Ayton will knock the rust off soon.

If this is a true statement, Ayton isn’t getting traded. “Knock the rust off” doesn’t scream he’s getting out of here. People know what DA is at this point. Wizards aren’t great defensively. He needs to put up 20 and 10 tonight.

Ayton has missed a lot of games. It would be nice if he made a statement tonight.

In his last two outings he has only produced 12 (6 rebounds) and 6 points (9 rebounds) respectively.

Ayton runs through a defender and scores plus 1.

Game tied at 10.
