We doing despite the wins now?

Literally almost sold the game in fact he did it took rui lebron luka masterclass to win the game

4 for 16 for a 7 foot center is crazy work

That stretch in the third was the worst individual stretch by a player I’ve ever seen.

Deandre Ayton is currently 4th in the league in TS%. This shit happens.

Despite the win is pretty funny lol. What really annoys me isn’t that he missed a bunch of bunnies early in the game. That happens, and the fact that he’s allergic to dunking is whatever because we signed up for it. But he was still trying on both ends in the first half and in the third quarter he just hung his head and basically threw the game himself.

No wonder dude got benched 

I was sad when they benched him

Singlehandedly almost sold the game. Glad he was benched.

First time?

Tbf like 4-5 of those were in a span of 4-5 seconds when he kept on trying to tip it in. But yea terrible night from him

4-16? What the hell?

DeAndre Ayton will never be a center that you can win with when it comes down to a championship. No type of dog in him at all.

4-16 from the field as a big who doesn’t shoot threes is honestly repulsive

How are you a 7 footer with a majority of your shots at the rim go 4-16

The duality of this guy is insane. He could look incredibly solid one day and completely unplayable the next. Not looking forward to seeing him in the playoffs/play-in this year.

Who could have seen that coming?

Suns and Portland fans were right all along.

As a former non NBA Center, 4-16 is absolutely fucking crazy work in a win. That takes a lot of talent

Not the good kind. Props on the 11 rebounds. But if half those were from your own misses, that doesn’t count.

5 of those rebounds where on one play, ON HIS OWN SHIT that he never scored on.

Mavericks had an injured center than only played 16 mins, no backups for him…

Yea, this dude is fuckin TRASH.

Benching him was the right move

He had so many good looks that just simply rolled out of the basket. This is one of those situations where the stats end up looking looking bad, but I can’t imagine the coaches were upset at the shots. He’s been making those at a good clip this year, today they just rolled out though

He’s every bit as bad as everyone said he was going to be when we signed him. I get the center market is horrible but my god.

I wonder if his eye is still bothering him. He certainly was shooting like Demoman out there. And by that I mean looking drunk and firing half-blind.

I cannot believe how this guy completely loses focus like that. There’s a mental aspect to his game that will never be fixed.

Top Dawg

He’s the reason why we had to make a comeback. We probably win this with ease if he played just average.

He has the 2nd highest FG% of all players this season.  Bad games happen, he’ll be fine. 

How the fuck did this guy go 1st overall

Please trade him at the deadline

This dude was drafted over Luka, Brunson, Trae, SGA, jjj, MPJ…

I didn’t watch much of the game but the bit that I did watch, Ayton missed an uncontested lob or putback at the rim because he went for the lay-in instead of a dunk.

He missed on 5 alley oops

He was just an animal tonight. Playing for that Laker max extension.

DominAYTON

How many of those rebounds are off his own miss?

Who the fuck is giving Ayton 16 shot attempts in 2026?

2 Free Throw attempts. Damn he hustled more than usual.

Trust the pass!!!!

Never forget ass stat line

We told you guys, don’t think that 8mil is worth it tbh

He missed some shots, in a season where he’s shooting a career-best FG%. It’s OK.

He’s still shooting 66% this season and is scoring 13.6 ppg and averaging 8.7 rpg and 1.0 blks.

Come on people are allowed to have bad games.

That was so brutal.

Question is does he opt in this summer for $8m? I have a hard time believing he would get anything besides minimum offers after how he’s played this season.

Allegedly asked for a trade, play like shit, can’t get moved

What’s the next part of his master plan?

Last 4 games he’s the reason they were losing. As soon as his out against nuggets they came back down 16, against clips they were able to close it two down 26 without him and they once again came back down 15 without him against Dallas

Massive win against the 11th seed in the West. Go fLakers, Go!

Despite the win is wild lol

I feel like phoenix fans deserve compensation for how much abuse other fanbases give them when they first pick up ayton. “Oh cp3 and them were all toxic and evil, he’s great for us!”

moron idiot was like ²⁄₇₅ most of them layups

Im pretty sure hes still injured but okay.
