    Good lord, how many close-in shots we've missed in two quarters.

    LOL! So you're saying maybe Chauncey should be coaching in a pee-wee league.

    I do wonder if he feels like he is already given how young the team is

    The foul he got late in the quarter wasn't his fault. Shaedon was lazy in using the screen and left a gap for the defender to get through.

    And then he made a weird substitution for Simons; put in Walker even though Ayton was in the game and Rupert and Deni were available. Walker made a bad move to the basket, lost the ball and Dallas got a fast break basket. It was only for one play but costly.

    If Simons got his 4th foul in the game, then maybe he belongs in the pee-wee league.

    Someone will shoot me for this statement but....here I go.

    Sometimes Sharpe brings back memories of Martell Webster. Beatiful shot and seemed to have size and should have been very successful but never really put it all together although there were the occasional flashes.

    I just wonder sometimes if he has the mental talent to go with the physical talent or if he will fall by the wayside.

    Darius Miles is another, could absolutely rock but didn't seem to have the mentality to take over.

    I am not worried about Sharpe's abilities from a physical aspect, I worry about building on him from a mental perspective. He has not consistently shown he can lead.

    There. Done.

    Fire away.

    I agree and have said similar before, he has time but he's certainly not convincing me

    Sharpe isn't a #1 option (yet? ever?) but I'm not selling on him just because of that.
    Scoot is getting better but isn't prime time (yet? ever?) but I'm not selling on him because of that.

    We have a lot of interesting pieces, and I like seeing them on the board together. We don't have The Guy yet, but that's not a big deal. Yet.
