    Scoot got 6 fouls. Clearly, dude is a bust.

    If he plays too many minutes he’ll be insurance that we get a high pick

    Stupid fouls? Or just being anti-Dame and being overly-aggressive?

    Any summation of the game? I couldn't watch it. Looks like about what you'd expect against a contending team with us so young and still trying to figure out basic sets. Anything noteworthy though?

    one thing that really stood out to me is how little we got ayton involved after the first. if we want him to just do the dirty work and set picks, we got the wrong guy.

    Exactly. Wondering why we killed in the 1st and 3rd, lagged in the evens (though made a run in the 4th).

    Yeah, we didn't really go to him but also didn't show much initiative.

    we kept up with them in the first cuz we hit shots. they ramped up the defense just a lil bit and we looked like shit. our defense was nonexistent.

    most noteworthy thing to me was how dominant phoenix looked. nurk will really help that team. perfect fit.

    We went from having all small guards to surplus of defending wings. Camara, Murray and Rupert all can defend well.
