This lack of effort on the boards is concerning. I know these games don't mean anything, but this has been an ongoing issue. It's going to bite them in the playoffs.

Bench is bringing us back…hopefully the starters don’t flip that again when they come back in

We rely on our 5 to pretty much handle the boards…if Ayton isn’t fully engaged, teams can pretty easily take advantage of that.

OK Landry. Good to see he and the rest of the bench have a pulse.
Seems the starters minus Booker are more into cheering from the bench than they were playing in the game.

Ayton's been wearing oven mitts these last 2 games.

He needs to get off the floor, he's offering nothing today. Games like this make me want him gone. Can't even dunk anymore.

Bailed out by the foul..now he might have gotten fouled but it was still an easy basket even with the foul…not sure what’s wrong with him

No surprise Ayton is -17…plus/minus is usually not very reliable in a 1 game sample, but it feels right tonight. +10 for Javale.

Any other C tries to dunk that, like any other C in the league.

Taylor Jenkins ejected…must have said something pretty bad…no previous tech…I missed the foul that triggered it because I was looking up Ayton’s plus/minus

I was thinking, is it possible for a players hands to be too soft?

Ya just really hard games to watch…honestly I’m gonna check out…game doesn’t matter and I have better things to do than get mad at the tv haha…Maybe I’ll watch later after I know we’ve won.
I’m sure we’ll still win…just need to clean up the turnovers and grab rebounds and that will pretty much do it. Best of luck to those who keep watching haha
