[Chris Craig]

Onto the next ass whooping

 

[SharpesTriumph]

Ayton vs Nurk! Can't wait for the battle to hear which fanbase is more disappointed by their center.

 

[SharpesTriumph]

Hey look, an opponent we've actually beat once in the last 4 years.

 

[THE HCP]

Says we land in 1:50. So that’s roughly 2am in PHX. Unload the plane, bus to the hotel check in. Looking at about getting to bed at 3am at the earliest. I promise you this has an effect/affect on the players. Might be a tough one tomorrow night. Was going to be anyway, but this ain’t helping.

B2B are just kind of stupid, unless it's a double header in one city so teams have same rest/travel.

I'd rather see training camp just condensed to 5 days with 1 preseason game at the end. Then could eliminate all these B2B

When I was 20 something I’d go to work after a bender.

Suck it up, buttercup

 

[Wizard Mentor]

My son calls the 2nd game of back-to-backs that are played on the road "scheduled losses." I tend to agree with him.
We lost the last one by 13 to the Kings, this one we'll play the red hot Suns, and the next one we play in Minnesota.

Tough early game schedule for sure.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Just lose, baby

 

[Natebishop3]

Is this Aytons first game back there?

 

[blazerfan11]

Is this Aytons first game back there?

Nov 21, 2023 was.

 

[Natebishop3]

Nov 21, 2023 was.

I thought he skipped the games in Phoenix last year.

edit - Nevermind you’re right. Looked at the box score.

 

[SharpesTriumph]

Ant playing?

 

[HailBlazers]

Funny they gave Phx the first two points Ayton scored.

 

[blazerfan11]

Why the F is Rupert not playing ? This is garbage.

Blazers have started 2-11.

 

[HailBlazers]

Ayton Nurk talking smack.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Scoot making good things happen though noticed him looking impatient with Ant holding into the ball too long.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Nice pass, Ant.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Let's make sure Scoot adopts the same team that helped Dame with finishing early in the league.

 

[blazerfan11]

Simons and Scoot are 0-10 and have only 2 assists. And they have to play at the same time.

YUCK.

I don't really like Banton, but good grief. that's bad. Put someone else in.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Is Camara hurt? 5 minutes so far. If I was coach I would play a guy like him 35-40 minutes every night. He is young and strong and guards the best player on the other team every night.

Fouls

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Fouls

Thanks, I didn't notice that.

 

[B-Roy]

Glad to see Nurk's ego is still intact.

 

[beast blazer]

This team has such an Abysmal offense.

 

[B-Roy]

Both of these centers are so bad lmfao.

 

[beast blazer]

When is Cronin going to trade Grant/Ayton/Simons.

There's literally no reason to have them on the team.

 

[MickZagger]

What’s with the lousy zone defense?

 

[B-Roy]

When is Cronin going to trade Grant/Ayton/Simons.

There's literally no reason to have them on the team.

When someone offers anything for them.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Neither team seems to be playing very hard. This game somehow reminds me of why I didn't become an NBA fan for such a long time.
