    The team was down even worse than with DA in lol.

    Reath just has a shorter memory. DA overthinks a lot and can’t get out of his own head at times. Reath threw up 8 shots in like 10 minutes (not a bad thing, still needs to make waaaay more of them)

    Next time Ayton connects on a screen will be the first.

    Too many guards. If we were trying to win Scoot wouldn’t play.

    Luka has yet to even break a sweat. How about trying to make him uncomfortable?

    I don’t understand playing Scoot 7 minute and still losing. What are we even doing here?

    He’s a big reason we’re losing. -15 in 7 mins is impressive.

    I think Luka could probably win this game on his own if you blindfolded him.

    He needs to stay glued to the bench after that half.

    Don’t worry, he’ll play in the 4th in garbage time.

    This is the worst way to handle this. If we are seriously gonna bench Scoot and not let him play through rough spots, he won’t get much burn this year and he will play scared of making mistakes.

    Sharpe needs to more determined to create with dribble drive. He gets a bit reluctant to get himself rolling.

    I see Ayton come in and the Mavericks go on a run. I see Ayton stand around on defense.

    2 steps forward, 1 step back with Scoot. Just part of the process.
