Game 36: Phoenix Suns (20-15) @ Washington Bullets (14-21) l Wednesday l 5:00pm l BSAZ

You wanted Ayton to play 45 minutes for a chance to win? No way we win this game even if Ayton plays few minutes longer. Washington was just plain out better team throughout the game.

How about that Pelicans game where Monty played Booker all third quarter and started him fourth. He just came back injury and now he is out atleast 6-7 weeks. Nice gamble for one meaningless game to win and lost best player long time for that. I just try to show double standards.

Ayton needs rest. We did lose the lead, but we were on a b2b, lost an hour traveling late last night. I mean he played 36 minutes on the 2nd night of a b2b. That's a lot already.

The Ayton excuses just never stop.

Let see how good coach Monty really is when Booker now out long time and CP3 washed. He has to give up that guard first offense and let big man Ayton be major option Suns new offense if there is any chance hanging top6 seed.

Ayton was literally the 1st option tonight. Dude took the most shots.

Yes, he scored more points than Booker average scoring this season is. So the way is right. Shooting procent enough to win games. 25-30 shots and we will be good.

Doesn't make sense to blame this loss on Ayton.

We didn't have enough players step up offensively and out defense was subpar possibly due to the back to back.

Unless someone on the bench was going to erupt for 20+ points we could have won but that's unreasonable to expect that each game.

With the way you speak about Ayton, I have a feeling if Suns had a chance to trade for Ayton, Booker or Paul in their primes and they weren’t playing here, you would easily pick Ayton. I mean I love Ayton just like the next guy but as long as we have Booker the offense will never run through him and when it does he records just 7 rebounds in a 25 point loss. DA is not winning formula and I’d like to believe deep down you know that.

I just watch different procents and make my adjustment depends what those tells me. If guy shoot over 60% on the field and are same time near the ring try to rebounding then i would use him more to win primary games. Not fair compare Ayton and Booker when there is "power forwards" like Jock and Torey playing with Ayton. Its like Suns run offense through Booker with Elie Okobe at PG position and Josh Jackson playing small forward. Suns need to be healthy and bring some real power forward in so then we can compare Booker and Ayton if they try run offense through Ayton. Last 2 years CP3 helps a lot Books game. Its like Ayton atleast with John Collins. Not easy to take rebounds when soft guys like CamJ and Mikal pushing other teams forwards away to help u.

Didn't watch the game tonight, but Ayton had the best +/- for us, but only 1 defensive rebound is definitely concerning.

The league is deep. There's probably more players now who can randomly get 25-30 points than any time in recent memory. Duane did it for us against Memphis, Rui got us tonight. **** happens.

We've got to rebound better. That's not just on DA.

That’s one tough schedule but if we manage to go 13-11 through those 24 games our record would be at 33-27 possibly good enough for 5th-6th seed in west before Booker comes back. We already know CamJ and Payne will be back somewhere in January. I’m not worried yet unless we have a much worser record than 13-11.

Suns now lower than Lakers if JJ didnt matched that Pacers offer sheet.

If he didn’t Suns would have Sabonis by now and be a top 3 seed easily this year regardless the injuries. Sabonis has killer DNA in his system all he knows is winning.

Not bad, but there is still questions would Suns had enough assets to make that deal happening after GM Connelly lost his mind in Gobert case which ended all activity in the transfer market. I really like Sabonis guy, winner type mentality.

Who else are we gonna hear that we turned down in trade (Rui), that gets mad and hangs 30 on us?!?! Does he still suck?? Seemed pretty un-guardable last evening.

DA as first option is this what we get.
No competitive team would do this.
Our tank commander is just warming up to give a lottery pick.
