Henderson gettin some now

 

scoot has a very good floater, should use it regularly

 

Scoot continues to hook guys in space. Got away with it this time.

Like his aggressiveness though.

 

Can Ayton set one screen properly???

 

Just leave Scoot out there

 

Overall, the bench has been disappointing. Got to win those minutes w/out Luka. As good as Doncic has been, the Mavs are -2 when he's on the floor.

Scoot -12, Thybulle -18, and Brogdon a team worst -21

 

Sharpe with good activity on defense the last couple possessions.

 

Our offense is just pure one on one… just sad

 

Ayton could be eating on the short roll if he could just connect with a single screen on the PnR with Ant.

 

It's basically Ant and Grant on offense, and i dont like it

 

Grant and Ant are shooting 70%, but yes, let’s force ball movement for the other guys that can’t make a shot.

 

Though it's less one-on-one than Dallas' offense, which is torching us.

 

Why can’t we let Scoot touch the ball and run Ant some screens?

 

I’m convinced people only want to look good on terms they’re comfortable with, not reality, lmao

 

but... but.... Simons & Grant wouldn't get to shoot

 

And with all the grief he’s getting, guess who’s a +6?

 

grant is not a winning player, hed rather be "the man" and put up big numbers on a terrible team like ours (or previously detroit), than to play for a contender

i cant emphasize enough how much i want him gone

 

LOL... would be playing right into Dallas' hands.

They seem fine with Camara, Thybulle, Scoot, and Walker shooting open 3's.

 

I hear you... he's easily been Portland's best player tonight.

He's +6 and he's overlapped the majority of minutes with Luka. Tough draw.

 

How does Reath come in and get twice the shots and twice the FTs in half the time.

Something isn't right. I don't think Ayton is a long term player here.
