Lol.

None of that is true and I love your goal post moving.

So rebounds only count when again?
His rebounds seem to generally carom his direction and therefore the opportunistic manner.of getting them. He's not an aggressive rebounder by any stretch of the imagination. If he were, he'd be getting 15 a game.

No goalpost movement needed. Ayton's game is soft and always will be. He doesn't have it.

So anything less than 15 rebounds a game sucks? Well thats unfortunate since it hasn't happened in a season since 2018. Who did it you ask?

Andre Drummond.

Guess Joker/Embiid/Giannis all suck as well then correct? They've never grabbed that many over a season. None of them.

I said 15 a game is what he might get if he played aggressively which, quite honestly, he doesn't. But go on ahead and straw man. It's cool.

Look, you like Ayton. We ALL know that much and it's fine. I don't like him because I think he's an apathetic player who gives mixed effort. I'm all for him and have zero issues giving him credit when he plays hard. If he did that on the regular, maybe I wouldn't be as hard on him.

Great game, needed that.

Hate to be a nitpicker, but Kd and Book playing basically all game scares me. I know it’s the playoffs but it’s hopefully going to be a long run. Gotta find a way to give them a little more rest.

Kawhi isn’t playing 45 min and he’s got less help.

I can't remember a time DA sucked in a big rebound like Giannis, Barkley, Rodman, Amare, Embiid. His rebounding is soft just like the rest of his game.

Well the Scott Foster curse was snapped. Who'da thunk after that stinker they put up for most of the 1st half.

Kudos to CP3 for coming alive when they need it - he really dissected that drop coverage. Kudos to Craig for two straight quality games. Kudos to Booker for obvious reasons.

KD better figure out the 4th quarter. I dunno that he can keep these minutes up it's defo affecting his shot. He's getting pushed around a lot out there too.

I think that's what it's going to take. The bench is the achilles heel.

He’ll play the **** guys off the bench like Wainwright and Shamet.

D’Antoni was different because he would play nobody except Barbosa off the bench lol

We couldn't afford to go down 0-2. Did what needed to be done.

We need to have an 8 man rotation once Payne is back. Shamet should get 0 run.

CP3 made some nice shots at the end I didn’t think he had that in him. Book was killer tonight. Kawahi is too good going to be tough to beat them in LA

As of right now, I'd put my money on the Clippers. Book and KD are having to play damn near the entire game and we shot a lot better than the Clippers and still couldn't put them away until late. They outplayed us in most facets this game other than shooting. We haven't been great on the road, so we could be looking at a 3-1 hole coming back home for game 5 unless we start putting some complete games together.

I remember when he was with the Clips and 76ers and I would beg for him to be on the Suns because he was a sniper but now IDK what's up with him. TJ needs to play
