SRB4G starts creating game threads again means Suns start playing well again. I doubt Beal gets injured if there was a game thread with the good lick charms.

Haha! Thanks for the support buddy. I’m hoping Suns can go on another 6-7 game winning streak, but we need KD & Book to be healthy from here on out. Btw, which one is your favorite good lick charm?

Let's say the first one for her big eyes.
Also a small remark. Write players full names next time, e.g. Dominayton.

So apparently Chauncey chewed out indignAyton last night for his dog sh- effort. That sure didn't take long.

I’m seeing a lot of Portland fans on Twitter begging to trade DA. I’m honestly surprised with how bad he’s played. I thought he would play with a chip on his shoulder (for a string of games) and prove that he’s somewhat worth his contract. I can’t believe he was a number one pick and on a max contract. What an awful player.

He is who he is. I've said from Day 1 that CP3/Monty was the best thing to have ever happened to DA but his supporters have consistently spouted BS like they were holding him back or they weren't using him right. CP3 and Monty hid so much of DA's weaknesses by minimising his super basic offensive bag and made him focus on what he's actually gifted at which is defense, rebounding and finishing. We kept his role tight, put him in position to really help the team, made him look like a budding star and got him paid.
But the moment he took a step outside of that environment, one where he's now fending for himself, one where he's one of the "vets" and is expected to be a vet to the very young guys on their team and he's looking more lost and useless than ever. I also said before the season began there will be a bunch of times this season where Portland fans will question whether one of their rotation bigs is a better player than DA, which is what we had done during the course of his time in Phoenix.

You, and others, clearly thought more of him than he's willing to give. It's okay and you are forgiven.Jdiddy701 wrote:enigmatics wrote:So apparently Chauncey chewed out indignAyton last night for his dog sh- effort. That sure didn't take long.

Ayton suckered the Suns into that second contract and thankfully we were able to find a taker for his dead ass weight. It was only a matter of time before the Portland fans turned on him and to be honest... I'm surprised it took this long.

The brutality of not getting Myles Turner for Ayton when it was there...
just another whoosh in our recent history. 1) Doncic 2) Hali 3) Turner??

Ayton's success/failure is 90% him, 10% other factors. Look at Monty on the Pistons. Not a great coach. All Cs benefit from a good PG though, so Rubio/CP3 had effect on his play obviously.

Yes, look at Clippers not getting far last 3-4 years with Kawhi and PG without a true pg. now they are more stacked by bringing in Westbrook and Harden. They legit have a shot at winning a title.

Really not much talk about Ayton from Blazer fans. The biggest talk is about firing Chauncey Billups by far. But there are a number of people who want to trade their guys who are not really young, mainly Brogdon, then Grant, but some include Ayton.
