Outrebounding them by 13, outshooting them from field and 3. But they’ve gotten 13 more shot than us. Turnovers killed us.

Ayton reaches 20 feet from the basket.

Dog with fleas performance.

And then Ayton gives up inside position on the free throw miss and gives us the rebound to Scottie Barnes and again gives up a layup.

BEYOND PATHETIC game by Ayton tonight.

Gonna be an UGLY month. I don’t see us winning many. And that’s sad when Paul, bridges and Ayton are healthy. They’re all disappointments at this point. Paul is finally hitting age wall. Bridges and Ayton are just soft.

Yeah, he is dog sh.., no effort, no fire whatsoever, he's an immature kid with zero heart, should have let him sign with Indiana.
No, letting him go for nothing would’ve been a mistake. But let’s make no mistake, Ayton and bridges are front runners. They aren’t going to lift a team when it’s down. They’re both soft. And both of their defense is completely overrated at this point. Soft, soft, soft.

I'm surprised there's anyone here still expecting wins from these guys. We are playing without Booker, CamJ, CamP, Shamet, Biyombo, Crowder and with a Chris Paul who is either washed up or too injured to be out there. Any team that loses to us should be ashamed of their effort.

I agree to a certain extent, but we could have used his Max $$ to sign someone or some others. I wholeheartedly agree that Bridges and Ayton are a soft as Charmin.

The fact that this can be said about a team who just signed two young players to MAX and another huge deal speaks more to the longer term issue this team is facing as opposed to right now.

Bridges and Ayton should be ashamed that “any team who loses to them should be ashamed of their effort.”

Those two guys as major core building blocks of the future is false hope to the extreme.

Sarver. Organization in trouble. Wouldn't have happened.

I keep waiting for the cavalry but I'm not sure James Jones even sent out an SOS.

We're about 49 million over the salary cap right now. If we let Ayton walk, we wouldn't have been able to replace his contract with a free agent. His slot basically would've disappeared.
