Ayton's fault if we lose.

With Mikal Bridges not playing tonight his consecutive streak of 365 games played sadly comes to an end. :cry:

Most definitely, if Ayton can’t show up while missing Mikal & CamJ then he’ll never become a 1st/2nd/or 3rd option in his career. It’s make or break time tonight for Ayton. The lights are shining the spotlight glaring directly at you. What will you do?

Yeah, was wondering if it will count that he won't play in BKN's first game after trade. If he is not eligible than I doubt it will.

Yes. They will triple Ayton tonight, but max players will find a way to win. Booker scored 70pts with Chriss, Len, Ulis and Jones Jr. It wasn't enough to win, but close.

What will our starting lineup look tonight especially with Booker out.

Ayton-Craig- x- Lee- CP3

Will Monty insert Okogie or Wainright? We only have like 9 players available too. Lol

Counting on Craig and Ish to hit some 3s. And praying they don't get shoot lights out once again.

Brooklyn has played 54 games, we've played 56... So he could end up playing 83 games this year? surely that means he hasn't missed a game then :lol:

If you post a ratatouille gif the Suns chances of winning tonight skyrockets from 18% to 55.

What a dunk by Collins.

SunsRback4Good · Post #18 » by **SunsRback4Good** » Fri Feb 10, 2023 12:49 am

Filthy one handed dunk by Collins. Will probably be top 3 on nba top 10 plays tonight. It wasn’t too spectacular but he dunked it with force.

Jeez. I always forget how good these purple Suns jerseys are. Best jerseys in the league IMO.

grumpysaddle · Post #20 » by **grumpysaddle** » Fri Feb 10, 2023 1:05 am

I would have just sat Ayton and CP3 tonight. This one is a (newly) scheduled loss after last night's trade. Just let the end of bench play it out.
