Ayton needs to learn how to play in congestion. He has a bad tendency to turn it over

So the refs for 82 games are out to get the Suns?
They're sure not helping them by any means and this series has shown that quite succinctly. They're not the only team that's felt the strain of questionable officiating.

Tonight, NO has twice as many FT attempts despite going to the basket.

So, again, how many Suns games have you watched this season?

About 15 or so full games with more in the background when doing late night paperwork.

He puts 0 arc on his shot. So ugly.

He's hit a lot.

Because he has taken a ton. He's shooting under 40% for the series so far with today's game.

Yeah he's been bad today.

Okay. I've watched every game as I do each season. You can call it bias if you wish, but your sample size is pretty small to make such a blanket assertion.

He's been bad all series. This will be his 4th game out of the 5 games that his FG% is below 40%.

Weird, seems like Ingram and Mccollum are primarily jumpshooters.

Suns also have more points in the paint, again. Tell me more how Pelicans are at the rim more than the Suns.

The post I was responding to I thought was referring to his 3 shot which has been pretty decent this series before tonight. But re-reading it I'm not so sure it was about his 3 ball.

Suns **** up by leaving CP3 on a **** island when he's been contested ALL GAME. Plus he's tired now and frustrations and mistakes happen.
