Annoying that we forced a string of stops at the end of the 3rd but couldn't generate enough offense to cut the deficit more.

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.

He can be lazy but he usually fights for them. Jumps..tips them to himself, whatever. I am watching and watch all the games. I'm not saying he's the best rebounder on the team, but one of the 4-5 best in the NBA of guys who get a decent # of minutes.

You just whine about everyone every game, so not surprising.

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

I disagree, its pretty common.

Im all for feeding Ayton off PnRs, dump offs from penetration, when he runs the floor with a mismatch, or off a reversal where he was being fronted on the other side of the court. but strong side entry passes when hes trying to plant in one spot get stolen very frequently cause he doesnt really know how to seal the defender off and maintain position.

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

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

Ugh am I our curse now? My napping through most of the second half of the Blazers game helped too...

Hey Monty, I’m about to turn this shiz off!!

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.

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

Ball over Randle imo.

lol

I was mainly talking about Biyombo slowly pushing him all the way out of the paint almost to the 3 pt line.

Way to go book. A game where we can't afford to give up points, you selfishly can't keep your mouth shut

Yapping at the bench. To this defense, Charlotte did it to him a couple times this game and nothing was called when Booker was on the bench. That’s how it typically goes for us.

Devonte' Graham was yapping at him when he got his 4th foul. Then Booker started talking back that last play after a timeout.

Yea Ball is a bit away from being an allstar.
He has some big games but finds himself in the negative a lot. He'll get there, but may be a year or 2 from now.

Who would you prefer to face in the first round?
