Warren should be attacking the basket but - you know - Monty.

what a freaking ****

For half the game so far, it didn't feel like we traded two beloved Suns players for a HOF'er. Good to see KD get us back into the game with 17 in the Q2.

Been lurking for years. Finally made an account to let out my frustration with Ayton… :banghead:

Because he's not a Williams guy.

Because he is already married?

Seems like the Clippers have to foul a Suns player 3 times before the ref decides to call it.Thst 1st half felt like a Clippers home game in regards to the zebras.

Also wtf is Shamet doing out there playing 12min and not taking a single shot? That's like 90% of his job

We made a few mistakes under the rim, they went backdoor when we expected them to go to the screener...those plays have to be denied in the second half.

Mixer826, you don't know me. But my cousin was in a tragic accident in 2009. Paralyzed from the neck down. Its been a hard few years. But today he stood up and walked to turn off the game after watching Ayton play. God bless him.

Everyone still holding on to the 2021 playoffs. While I also thought he would play better this playoffs, I’m not surprised to see him poorly. That’s just who he is. His job is so simple that’s why it’s frustrating.

Im definitely not here for the Shamet's playoff experience.

Monty with some weird ass decision for no **** reason is absolute madness.

Shamet has done NOTHING in this game. Put someone else in you ****.

You are absolutely right. Lets take out the guy who is leading the team in plus minus in exchange for our backup center who is -11. Solid choice. 10/10 would recommend.

And yeah...I can't wait until I don't have to watch Ayton on this team anymore.Even when he puts up stats, they just feel empty.He has no real positive effect on the game.He got paid, so I don't expect to see 2021 playoff Ayton out this time around.

Shamet has done effectively nothing for his entire tenure as a Suns player, so why should we expect him to turn the corner and be the shooter every other team thought he'd be? There's a reason why he's on his fifth team in as many seasons.

I mean do you we have a choice?

Shamet definitely did a great job on defense. He was chasing Eric Gordon and disrupted some sets from the Clippers.

The only person I'm cooking is Monty Williams. We don't have to settle for mid-range jumpers all game. We shouldn't be playing Shamet 12 minutes in the 1st half. Ty Lue is just a superior coach over Monty.

Who will be top three performers for game 1?
