Payne with back-to-back baskets. Nice to have his contribution given Rubio's foul trouble.

I find Jevon Carter much less annoying as a SG/PG combo guard rather than forcing him to run our offense when Rubio's out.

Ayton needs to take offense at Olynyk guarding him

Shouldn't they just be feeding the ball to Ayton on every play? He's being guarded by midgets in there.

I am half way through the 1st quarter. Rough start. We’re missing everything and they’re making everything.

Ayton needs a fadeway turnaround shot against Ollinyk? Cmon

In theory, yes, but DA plays soft in the paint and Miami collapsing well on him.

Payne and Carter are figuring out how to be a surprisingly good backup backcourt for us. Really happy with their play. Saric also doing nicely in his minutes. Book leads us in scoring but hasn't made a 3 yet.

He just awkwardly missed a fadeaway over Olynyk. Hmm.

So the scrimmage Mikal on offense was just a mirage?

Carter Payne Saric Booker and Johnson came to play. The rest of the team is sound asleep. Bridges and Ayton Tucked and taped their testicles before the game.

Rough 1st quarter. Good thing for Cam’s late 3.

We brought in Baynes to teach him how to bang down low. Maybe we should have let him play against Kaminsky to learn how to use his size against slow skinny white guys
