    OK. Scoot has made 10 free throws; he must be doing something right.

    Chauncey has these guys playing hard and having some fun. Can it be that connection is happening?

    Good game by Scoot but he’s got 12 fts and not all of them deserved I feel

    Scoot can apply the pressure anytime he wants. He just needs to remember that. He's stronger and more athletic than most guarding him. He needs to stay aggressive getting to the rim even if he's struggling to finish.

    The only problem is there haven't been high highs. There's been adequate and extremely low lows.

    I don't know why some members have to act like that hasn't been the case, and then when you're trying to give the guy credit for having a really good game you have to point out the obvious and come out looking like a jerk. This isn't a fanboy competition.

    i wonder if the coaching staff would ever cut up film on DC's screens vs Ayton's and show deandre.

    I like this lineup Billups has now. Simons, Clingan, Deni, Kris and Sharpe.

    If Clingan plays the rest of this game he’s going to end with more mins than Ayton. Feels like there’s a top down mandate to play the young guys more.

    Clear demonstrable growth from Murray this year. He just is probably too "nice". He needs his heart broken or something to give him a chip on his shoulder. He quietly plays a nice game.

    Three straight Ant possessions without success? Then Sharpe has to try and take someone off the dribble. The coach should be creating better opportunities.

    Stop playing prevent offense. This team is not good enough to do that.

    That was a sick sequence from Sharpe. That's the stuff that gives me hope for the future
