Ayton just backed down Trey Lyles from 18 feet and spun around him, layed it in.

The NBA is filled with Trey Lyles that you can switch him on.

Ayton sitting almost the entire quarter and getting 2 shot attempts after a 24 point quarter. Igor doesn't know how to utilize Ayton, this keeps being apparent game after game.

What do you think the Nuggets talked about at the half? Smothering Ayton.

Still no reason to not even attempt to get him the ball.I'm watching the game.The Suns didn't even look for him.

Igor should have some plays to free up Ayton.This is the NBA.Not the local rec league

Amazing how fast fans change their opinions, ie. coaches: 4-games winning streak - fans be like 'Igor's been doing a great job', a bad game on a 2nd night of a back-to-back against one of the best teams in the league and fans be like 'I'm done with Igor'. This is seriously hilarious. Calm down everyone, we've been playing much better ball the last several games but we're still a team without a good PG playing 3 rookies in the starting lineup, expectations should be somewhat closer to the earth.

But why not get the ball into Ayton and have him kick it back out? He needs to be involved in every half court possession.

Ayton has shown good passing skills

They got it to him the finish the quarter, so that was good.

Nice to JJ protecting his shooting %

They are both awful NBA players

Well Shaq was really active defensively, and still is. Not saying he is great, but would be better than Crawford or Canaan was.

You do know that Melton is basically the same player right?

Our guy is unstoppable!!!

*half time arrives - defense adjusts*

Coach sucks all our offense should be running through Ayton!!

Book really needs to start taking advantage of the space Ayton is making in the 4th. We're still in dis.

I know...it's blame the coach when we do bad when we are shooting terribly from 3 and Ayton has 27. What do we want to give Booker his 5th or 6th coach by next year? We are starting 3 rookies and have some holes and are on a b2b against the best team in the west.

If Murray wasn't Steph Curry tonight, we'd be in this.

In ways, but Shaq is still significantly ahead of him in defense this year.

at what aspect of the game is Booker clearly better than Murray? and vice versa?
Murray is a beast

Weird that Ayton's best games have come on the 2nd night of a b2b.

Just another reminder that we took Bender over Murray after an amazing season out of Kentucky McD

Passing, and despite Murray's hot night, he was shooting below 30% from 3 coming in.

Scoring, passing, rebounding. Both are overrated shooters - they are streaky.

Murray’s D is better my default because Bookers is disgraceful

I like Igor but two touches for DA this half is unacceptable, defensive adjustments or not. And this happens almost every game.

I want Ayton to hit 30, but he's not even touching the ball most possessions.Warren had him open a few possessions ago, but threw up a wild runner that clanked off the back of the rim

Do you know who Devin Booker is? He's one of the worse passers I've ever seen

I think Murray if given the same usage and green light as Booker will put up same points per game... both are star level scorers

passing wise, its a draw in my eyes... many wings can average 5 assists if the ball is in their hands most of the time and they control where the ball goes
