Suns win today if they rebound. Defense was really good.

I personally don’t think the Suns can afford to sit Booker with the seeding being so close but do understand it. Need to survive the next couple of games until we get guys back. Can’t wait to have a full squad.

Two rebounds in 30 minutes for someone that big just doesn't even seem mathematically possible. I'd say it's a fluke, but we've seen it before.

At least his shot was falling, but man, 2 rebounds looks bad.

But you know what... We got mother******* Kevin Durant, so I'll let it slide tonight.

The Lee brothers can pack their bags. Bye bye. Kevin Love and Reggie Jackson welcome.

If we divide up Ayton's pay-per-game by rebounds... each of those 2 rebounds was worth $188,498.

Also, looking up Ayton's per-game pay has me seriously depressed about my own life. I have a decent paying job and it would take me about 5+ years to make what Ayton made just tonight.

I wish we could pay Ayton per rebound. Like... dude, we'll give you $20k PER REBOUND.

I'm sure he'd figure out a way to grab 20 a game.

With Bridges and CamJ this game over after halftime. Okogie and Wainright big upgrade.

This game was expectedly a flush considering the emotionally deflating downer scenario around losing the twins! Overall still a great trade for us, But as with everything significant, It comes at a heavy cost too! No one brought any energy or fight due to being depressed about the whole situation. But we'll get past it soon enough and refocus again!

Good question. Chris Paul certainly did.

Is Booker injured or just DNP since this is a back to back.

3 more games until the all-star break. KD makes his debut first game post-all star break vs OKC

DNP (precautionary) Hamstring management.

Aytons not a hustle player. He usually will just get rebounds that fall to him...When the rebounds dont fall towards ayton it looks like this. He could have had 20 rebounds tonight if the missed shots fell his way. Thats the problem with ayton zero effort. if he has 20 rebounds or 2 rebounds it doesnt matter because his impact is the same...grrrrr

Don’t worry that’s why we picked up KD to yell in Ayton’s ear his soft he is. Durant will destroy Ayton physically and mentally until Ayton has no choice but to play correctly.

There's no point comparing. Unless you're that one person in the world who is the richest, there will ALWAYS be someone richer, better looking, luckier etc etc. Everyone is in their own lane, in their own timelines and we should be grateful for what we do have rather than what we don't.

As a Nets fan, I can tell you that KD hasn't been getting calls this season

The officials have gone after Kyrie & Simmons and KD has been caught in the crossfire, hence the number of techs

Don't be surprised if his calls increase
