The most frustrating thing is how this team as a whole continues to wait until they are down 15 before they start putting in some effort. WHY?!

Yep. Easy dunk. Kicked out to Oubre for a difficult missed 3 pointer. Gnite folks.
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

This defense is so bad. Where do we even start?

Need a roster shake up.

This is on James Jones to shake this roster up.

And someone needs to sit DA down and tell him to fucking post up, and if your teammates don’t feed you they will be benched.

Exactly. I'm sick of him setting picks at the top of the key. Fight for post up position dammit.

He's had post up position multiple times, calls for the ball, and nobody will throw it to him.

Yep. Then we will hear on the post game interviews about how proud everyone is of each other and hanging in and fighting till the end. It's sickening.

Yep. Saw this early in the game and was completely ignored and then stop calling for it for most of the night.

f***. I despise the moment this team/coach decided to depend on Baynes hitting threes consistently as part of their offensive plan
His 3 point shot has to be one of the ugliest I've ever seen.

Ayton: 31 minutes, 0 FTAs.

DEMAND MORE AND USE YOUR FRANCHISE PLAYER!!!!!!!!!

If Monty cant force his men to get him involved, then he should be tossed.

You drafted him, now fucking design your offense around your two franchise players!!! Feed him the fucking ball in the post.

Tell him he is not allowed to shoot a fade-away shot without having dribbled.

Provide him the keys and expect greatness. A usage rate equivalent to Saric is fucking unacceptable from the coach.

We had the same problem with Igor as the coach last year. Ayton should not be setting screens 3 feet beyond the 3 point line. Keep him inside and feed him!

Yep, it's like Igor all over again. I understand giving him a couple games to get back into a groove, but he's back, use him for goodness sakes.

Marion never had a play drawn up for him and still managed to average over 20 a game.

Marion was a 6ft7 pogo stick. Completely different players in every single way. Bad example of how you expect Ayton to get his in the same fashion.

Really? And Ayton isn't a physical freak in his own respect?
