This is looking like the New Orleans game were we couldn't figure them out then outscored them by 30 in the 4th. I'd like us to outscore the Bobcats by at least 15 next quarter.

Cannot force feed a stationary Ayton in the post, he cant hold his position

Yikes. This is getting ugly quick.

Man this has L written all over it... Maybe we’ll get lucky and some Booker/Paul heroics in the 4th will save us, but this trash D mixed with our sloppy lazy O is so discouraging to watch...Suns can’t go longer than a few games without making us suffer through this for at least a quarter

This is why DA is not considered a good rebounder.

He's considered a great rebounder by just about anyone except a few on this forum. He's nearly the league leader in rebounds and offensive rebounds. He almost always really fights for them.

But having someone take away your rebound when you were not expecting it...that happens to everyone...not only Ayton.

The few on here are the ones that watch him nearly every game. Funny, that.

If you think he fights for the rebound, you're wearing rose coloured glasses.

Having a guy 3 inches shorter than you stand in front of you and out-rebound you shows no fight. It's unacceptable. It's not some young buck jumping in from the side to take it away. DA made no attempt to get that rebound when he knew Ball was in front of him.

DA gets mislabeled a good rebounder because the rest of the roster are below the rim players.

Please, try and watch his effort in rebound and stop looking at the stat sheet. Championships aren't won on the stat sheet.

Don't play with your food. This is what we get for trying to showboat in the 1st half. Hopefully we can rally and bring this back.

We seem to play a sloppy game every 4-5 outings.

When I was in high school my basketball coach made every big man run a suicide every time they brought the ball below their waist in the paint. I get flashbacks of practices every time DA does it.

Embarrassing defense this quarter

Need to stop taking early shot clock 3's

Nah, I think Sabonis is having quite a bit better year and he didn't make it. Or Middleton, Trae Young, Butler, Bam, Tobias Harris, FVV..

None of those guys made it...and they are all significantly better.

That was good heads-up D by Ayton on Ball. Didn't let him mess around. Just went right up to him and forced him to make a mistake

Need Booker to ball out right now. Hopefully he starts the 4th.

Biyombo was really pushing him around. Don't usually see that.

This is the type of game I'd like to see Carter in. His energy and D is needed

Say you're going to go to bed instead of watching like you were about to do with the Pelicans game...that helped.

Gonna be extra frustrating because we will likely be #3 in west/league with a win tonight. Lakers already down 11 to Utah.

So then I can say " but sir you're going to miss a spectacular comeback" as we outscore the Bobcats 33-15 next Q.

Pacers are better when Sabonis sits. He’s overrated and a compiler.

Ball over Randle imo.

Who would you prefer to face in the first round?
