This team has two major problems: The offense is bad and so is the defense.

Solid analysis.

I don't even mind Ayton getting blocked on that reverse
It was a quick decisive move, just the Brow is super long

[TOO]

No Ryno in the 1st half. NOICE.

[JeremyG]

Even if he's made some mistakes while being aggressive, at least Ayton has made a few aggressive moves on offense and defense. He even jumped for a couple of blocks but didn't quite get them.

[bajanguy008]

TJ shooting improvement really is legit
Something I forgot to mention in my disappointment last game was being surprised that we went to him to shoot the FTs with seconds left.
My immediate reaction was Why ?!? cuz I know him to be avg from the line then the stat came up 86% on the season. So like I said the guy clearly put in the work and it showing up in all facets as he has shot 70-77% in his career

Props to him, definitely one of the few bright spots so far this season

Is this how low the standard is for our #1 draft pick?

[Xylus]

19 already for TJ.

[EDC]

Nothing worse than watching the Booker/Ayton pick and roll suck in the defenders giving us an open three only to have the shooter be too scared to pull the trigger and then try to drive it instead.

Considering he's had zero blocks in over half of his games, it is an unfortunate yes.

Booker has an uncanny ability to dribble himself into double teams. Incredible really.

Now imagine we have a PG running the PnR with Ayton and its Booker sitting wide open for the 3. Buckets.

This is why Pointbooker should NEVER BE A THING.

[n4th4n]

Ariza actually looked engaged for a second there fronting Davis.

[n4th4n]

Booker doesn't seem to give a shit tonight

[JeremyG]

Aggressive Ayton is so much better than Passive Ayton. If only we could get Aggressive Ayton every minute he's in.

[TOO]

Booker doesn't seem to give a s*** tonight

Good defenders do this to him.

[Mori Chu]

I've got this game on in the background as I do some work. I don't have a lot to say. We aren't very good. It's disappointing. I guess I'm glad Warren is having a good game (22 points) and Ayton seems to have found his scoring touch in the second half (20 points, 12 boards so far). I see signs of life from Josh Jackson; I like his ballhandling and overall court vision, but his shooting decision-making is horrid; 2-8 so far. Booker has only 7 points, and that hurts. I almost always like what Bridges does out there; he's just smart and savvy and a net positive. I am done with Jamal Crawford. We are bad at offense and defense. We are a bad team. Womp womp.

[bajanguy008]

Haha
Alright Book !!

[Mori Chu]

Booker hits a half-court prayer, because why not.

[Xylus]

Booker from half court. Alright.
