Ayton on trailing in first quarter: “this is the NBA, no way you’re getting back into the game

[Stick Up Kid]

Dude sounds like someone who already got the max

These new nba players smh

The AAU lets be friends and not have 0 competitive spirit has killed this generation


I’m not blaming LeBron, but it started somewhere

Thread title should say "Ayton on trailing 36-9 in the first quarter"

And Ayton is not wrong

Very talented player with a high ceiling, but he's shown some red flags

Still believe in him, he's young, but that's not what you want to hear.

 

[duncanthetall]

the fukk? This is the attitude you don’t want from your #1 pick...that KAT/wiggins demeanour
Especially considering how common comebacks are in the NBA

KAT and Wiggins just came back from being down 19 against the Rockets 2 days ago.

Beat it

 

[Dayco23]

Jaren Jackson Jr. will be the best from that class

 

[Buckeye Fever]

On the Coli yes it is

Coli don't care about competitiveness, just players gettin' money that will never see their porn posting, "no fap", trolling fingers

 

[Reggie]

Jaren Jackson Jr. will be the best from that class

Good possibility of that too. He could one day be at the 20 and 10 level with 3 blocks and DPOY potential. Ayton has the skills and talent but sometimes you wonder about the effort he gives on the defensive end of the floor.

 

[KneeGrow.]

You say this when you want to put an emphasis on starting the game off better, not necessarily that you'll give up after trailing big. It's perfectly reasonable to not want to put yourself in that type of hole.

 

[thenatural]

nikka, they were down by 27 in the first quarter. He's right. That shyt is inexcusable to be down by that much so early.

And that’s why you’re a coach potato. His point was you can’t give up 10-20 point deficits in the first quarter every game it’s the nba...

 

[Kami]

Ayton does have a Wiggins mentality and that has to be worrying for Phoenix. I remember Ayton was asked what’s the most important thing you want to do in the NBA ( success wise) and he said “Getting to that Second Contract”

Ayton's simple goal: Getting second NBA contract

^^^^ This is not what you want in a franchise player

And how do you know what a front office wants lmao.

 

[Da_Eggman]

Sun fans good luck

And how do you know what a front office wants lmao.

Okay genius, which organization you know wants a player to put money over winning?

 

[tremonthustler1]

He’s right, but it also shows why young teams don’t win. They don’t know how.

36-9 is bad and you might not win, but it’s on the coach and players to say “lot of time left, let’s cut the lead to 17 by half. Then, 10-11 by the end of the third. You have to create checkpoints in your head. That team’s not there yet. That’s gonna take time to commit to.

 

[Hacksaw Jim Thuggin]

coli nikkas

as usual making up narratives and running with it

down 36-9....without your 2 leading scorers.....and already a bad team to boot

so NO they werent coming back.....what he supposed to say?
