    What did Oden say about Ayton?

    He said he needs to mix up when he stops his roll in the mid range and when he goes all the way to the hoop. Said that Ayton could be dominant on both ends in the paint and should try consistently putting a few up from three since his shot is so good. Just like everyone, Oden seems to be a big fan of the skills and talent but thinks the guy needs to go harder with what he has.

    I don't remember what he specifically said about DA, but he did mention that the team doesn't talk on defense, which is totally true.

    Might not be a bad idea to have a coach who knows what it's like to be 6'11"+

    Avdija's nickname should be The Bazooka.

    Because he'll kill The Tank if he keeps playing like that with the starting unit.

    Dallas looks discombobulated discouraged and disinterested.

    They look like a team missing their best player. And Portland looks like a team that has *finally* figured out how an offense runs. Kinda.

    POR is too good against a heavily depleted Mavs team. Put in the scrubs stat

    That team just beat Phoenix in Phoenix.
    without those players.

    the incident happened with 9:02 left in the 3rd quarter.

    the Mavericks won 98-89.

    Scoot with 4 steals in 21 minutes. Not bad.

    That was last night, so this is a back to back and they did get about 20 minutes from Marshall and Washington.

    Loving Scoots line so far tonight -
    19 points
    6 assists
    4 rebounds
    5 steals
    1 block

    And my favorite stat -
    only 1 turnover

    Nice

    There is a sweet spot with Scoot. Trying to prove himself, he presses too much. Playing well, he get's a little cocky. When he discovers the middle ground, he will be fine.

    Mavs over 113.5 points was easy money. Blazers have given up over that amount in 9 of the last 10.

    Winning basketball games and hurting our chances of winning capture the Flagg.

    A lot of fun tonight but looking at the big picture I'm left asking myself what the fuck our team is doing.
