Was listening to the mismatch podcast yesterday and they talk a bit about how the mindset of our team is pretty rare. Specifically they were talking about how Mikal Bridges could want to go do what Jerami Grant did and score 20 points a game on an awful team, but winning is more important to him.

Anyways, it made me realize exactly what constitutes a James Jones guy. He’s just not going to go after or keep a player who doesn’t have a sacrifice for the team, do anything to win mentality. There’s zero selfishness on our roster and it’s the main reason we are so good.

It’s why Kelly Oubre was moved(well and to get CP3). He had individual ambitions, which I’m not saying are bad, but it’s not how you build a winner. It’s the one area where it makes sense we might be hesitant on Ayton. So far I feel like he’s fit this mentality with his play on the court, but he does occasionally make comments like he’s not 100% on board with that. As long as he keeps playing the right way though, I think you keep him around.

What is smallball? I play basketball. I'm not a regular big man. I can switch from the center to the guards. The game is evolving. I'd be dominAyton if the WNBA would let me in. - Ayton

Contusion/sprain sure is much better than fracture or breakage. Hope they can get right after a short break.

That's probably about as good as you could have hoped to hear.

Stix and Payton may have to step up and play some productive minutes.

Allen Grayson's flagrant 2 foul broke Alex Caruso's wrist, and he's out 4-6 weeks. So, this is relatively good news in the grand scheme of things.

Going to answer whether Stix has finally figured out how to play PF though.

We already know Elfrid Payton can't play.

Period.

I actually think Shamet will get extended burn, and we'll see more "point Book".
