The hate for Ayton has reached a whole new level of unreasonable if people are starting to argue now to DA's hands are worse than Butterfingers Byombo.

i actually said the exact opposite

Are you being sarcastic? Him playing more games than just about every main player this season and coming back from his ankle injuries relatively quickly?

I hope they don't rest SGA for a 3rd time against us. I want to see him play. Playing better even than Book this year.


Up until last game, if you checked the suns team stats on ESPN.com Deandre was officially leading the suns in assists because the 8 players on our team who average more dimes a game than hadn't played enough game this year to qualify :o :o


If he is soft because he is out due to hip injury, Booker, KD, and a bunch of others must be very very soft.

Nah, Booker and KD (even CP3) are far from soft. Those guys live and breathe basketball. They take the game serious. Those guys get the other teams best defense and pressure to always lead their teams to wins. DA would never understand the toll those players have to deal with each day.

DAs hands are definitely worse than Alex Len

if we could just combine pre injury Amare and DA, Amare's hands and ferocity on offense, and DA's pretty solid rebounding and defense when engaged

I'd rather just have Amare, in this NBA he'd be destroying teams like Giannis. Ayton can go fly a kite.

Yeah, imagine Paul with Amare for three seasons causing havoc on other teams. But at same time we saw Amare and Nash struggle to even make the finals. I guess nothing is guaranteed in todays league. Us fans take most things for granted, but when will be next time that we see a player like Book & KD on the same team? So, we should just be blessed to watch them play and hope the Suns manage to win a title in next few years.

Amare was far superior to Ayton offensively, but he was average at best defensively and a very inconsistent rebounder

We want home court vs terrible road team like Warriors and to prevent refs home cooking for Mavs and Clippers, so this is an important game.

Unfortunately KD will never stay healthy enough for us to ever know.

Yessssssssss! Great news. He should hold down the fort until KD comes back. Imagine how scary an open Shamet will be once KD & Book are double teamed in the playoffs? He’ll have all day to rise up and fire away.
