You think those reports of all the teams getting Covid after they play the Wizards got into the Suns' players heads?

Lets face it..no one is playing well. Booker started off ok, but already missed 6 of his 10 shots...and no other stats. No one hitting shots...no one playing good D.

Perhaps...or perhaps an insurrection in Washington.

Well, most of Lopez's points have come after Ayton has to switch on the perimeter.

Not even with checking stats, who cares about that...are you watching Ayton? Oh my God, I thought that he was playing bad the first half against the Pacers but this half has been his worst half ever.

Were we down like 31 or 32 in one game and came back and made it close?

I was almost certain the rookie was gonna get the benefit of the charge call on Booker. I have PTSD from these refs.

Yes, his turnovers and travel were bad. He has taken more shots and passed less, which a lot of people want. He was playing ok defense to start but not as good since, though no one playing good D outside of certain possessions like Saric on one. A bunch of silly fouls too, especially early, hurts our D.

I do agree this is one of Ayton's worst halfs, but no one is playing well.

I have always been a big supporter of Ayton and he has gotten better on defense but he has regressed offensively, he is consistently outplayed by the Robin Lopez of league game after game at some point he just is who he is

Scott Brooks owns the Suns. He did this with OKC and has done it in Washington too

Tonight has exemplified just how badly we need an aggressive rebounder. Ayton may get 11, but that's only because the ball falls on his head 11x a game being 7'1. No fight.

Tonight, when he's needing to work to get the boards, he's getting beaten by a monumental spud and a perennial bottom-team journeyman in Lopez.

Damn, nice steal by Book...wish he'd pass it to an open guy there though instead of going up against a few defenders..luckily he got the foul.
