This is getting exhausting...

Don't forget about people being wet blankets about having one of the TOP 10 PLAYERS OF ALL TIME on the team and locked up for a few more years. This board would prefer Josh Jackson and Dragan **** Bender. I thought I was pessimistic, but holy ****.
The whole internet is a bit of a toxic hellscape but this board is high level even by those standards. It's why I'm not here much anymore.

I don't believe in any sort of advanced stats, my eyes told me he stunk it up last night and he better shape up quick!
SHAZAM!

All in all, it's just a game. Suns won. The criticism is every game and it is just a bit tiresome. I don't see the fun in being so negative especially after a win. I mean... what would make you happy? DA had a stretch of 20 games where he averaged 21 and 12, he knows when he needs to step it up.

What would make me happy is if he played with consistent effort. If he does that, everything will fall into place. Until he does that, people will complain, and they have the right to. I’m not sure how anyone can defend his play. I call it how I see it. If any Suns player consistently played like crap, I’d call them out too. Ayton is that guy who continuously plays like crap.

He'd be taking shots away from Booker and KD if he had 21 points, and 12 rebounds is paltry for a 7 footer. Needs at least 13.
