It's almost hilarious how badly Ross gets destroyed on screens. Genuinely amazing that an 11-year old NBA vet has the screen navigation skills of a rookie. Think he'll last about 3 mins in the playoffs.

Ayton just looks lethargic out there.I'd much rather see a guy like Jakob Poeltl on this team.

And about 5 lay ups right in front of him. I don’t get him. Once I saw the opening alley oop to him, I thought it’ll be a solid game for him. Hopefully he can turn it around. We need him.

Suns only took 9 3-point shots in the half. They need to take.at.least 15-20 per half.

Put 20 to win 170 on Knicks, Islanders, Suns & Wild. Two teams already won, Wild lead 2-1 after 1st and Suns playing around. :roll:

We have no size beyond Ayton who wants to be a guard in his heart. Just can’t see a team with that big a rebounding deficiency win it all. Unless Book and KD just both go nuts for 3 months.

I didn't expect KD to look so rusty.His efficiency numbers with the Suns were crazy those first 3 gms.Guess they'd have to even out eventually.

Bizzy had 1 less rebound than Gobert in half the minutes.

He never had good coaches all he knows is to shoot shots. Dwayne Casey, Frank Vogel & Clifford were his coaches through Ross’ entire career.

If only he could get away with using PEDs that Lebron has used most of his career.

Durant going bananas in the third quarter expect a 12 point quarter from him.

Are PED’s illegal in the NBA?

Foul trouble for Ayton might actually help the Suns tonight.
