He's probably come to a conclusion it's this teams best chance for success and even though he's a freshman he has seen enough to realize Ayton can handle it now.

We bash Miller all the time for his stubbornness on things like not using a zone defense but he deserves credit for going all in with DA carrying the load for this team this year.

I think some of it is designed to pull the best out of Ayton. Ayton's best games have been in big ones where we needed him to bring it. Putting him in the mindset of a catalyst (hopefully) brings out that competitive response all the time.

Fully agree. For Ayton, the game can be too easy and a little meaningless when compared to the NBA life shortly ahead of him. Miller keeping Ayton challenged and engaged by putting the wins and losses on Ayton... that's good motivation, good coaching.

And Rawle wasn't even playing well. If he's hitting, the lead probably swells to 25 in those first 10 minutes.

Here here (or dilly dilly as the kids say these days)

We looked goooood. Just let the game come to them and let it revolve around Ayton....watch out.

Want a safe space, find a corner and repeat “Sticks and stones”

Is this about the comparison of Miller to Kevin Ollie? That's the biggest insult I've seen so far.

The snitch knows. I made the post mostly for his sake. He wasn’t even the poster called a “fucking moron”...


Don’t report because you’re offended for others.

Save reporting for honest issues, please.

Stream of conscious, real time debates that get heated will happen and sometimes names will get called.



This is the GOAT message board community.

If Hank reported it, he would have reported ahead of time and requested admins shut the entire site down pronto to make sure we got out ahead of the insults.

Had to go to Frankie Vision's excellent highlight videos because I knew Ayton was shooting free throws. Unfortunately cuts out the Frachilla line.

starts at 3:05 if it doesn't link to the time automatically

The "942 Crew" told Paola Boivin they had it on their twitter feed. I looked through it and saw nothing. They were real proud of the naked MMA guy with the Shake Weight nobody knows who apparently went to ASU though.

I feel dirty now.

plus when I hear the phrase(s) “fresh start” and “fatigued” and “stress”, etc. over and over and over again I perk up.
