Final:
Nets 104 - Suns 82
Nets 104 - Suns 82
In a short experiment, Holmes finished at Power Forward. Of course, we were 20 points down.Ryan Anderson is another player like Tyson Chandler that is way past his expiration date.
I do not understand why Bender is not getting minutes over him.
Ayton was left alone outside, particularly early in the game, and was constantly popping from outside.Aaaaand a return to 20 point loss. Sigh.
Can’t win when Ayton/booker go 12/38. Ayton 6/17 is particularly embarrassing for a guy of his size, athleticism and skill.
The Suns are looking worse than last season. They had won 4 out of their first 10 games last season.
This season they have only won 2 of their first 10 games.
I think we'll see quite a bit of improvement over the season. Keep in mind we are throwing Ayton to the wolves right now and we're not giving Booker much support. And Booker missed the preseason and much of the early start too. He's nowhere up to speed. Ayton is raw, most fans don't seem to believe that because he can look so skilled at times but he is. He won't look like this in January IMO.
It was a layup drill for Brooklyn at times. That's the most discouraging/frustrating part. Well, that and the turnovers.
If you watch the tape it is due to Ariza playing poor perimeter D and try to just switch off the driving player and poor D on Anderson/Warren. Additional Booker is being beat backdoor all the time. Ayton is just not good as a help defender, he doesn't commit to either the dribbler or his man cutting to the rim.It was a layup drill for Brooklyn at times.

Ayton sucks. Doesnt impose himself, puts up empty stats. So frustrating seeing a guy that size and talent level play like that. Reminds me of Boris Diaw. Can't believe we didnt take Doncic.

We’d be just as bad no matter who they picked but only time will tell if our decision was the right one. My final vote went to Ayton but I said all along I hope they did a deep phychological dive on him and didn’t make the pick on lottery night. Who really knows with this team. Who really trusts them to make another top-5 pick?
Doncic has not even be a positive on the court despite starting hot shooting and is a turnover machine.I'm not so sure we'd be just as bad if we took Doncic. He has an alpha instinct. Ayton is obviously a beta. Puts up numbers, but doesnt have that killer instinct, just like we saw at UofA last year.
