    Really great balanced scoring and defense. Ayton is a great center

    We got the lead because of Scoot. And now he's not in to start the fourth? Smdh...

    It seems blatantly obvious that we are showcasing before the deadline.

    I could understand if Ant was playing well but he’s playing like hot garbage. He’s actively hurting his trade value.

    Everyone in the league knows what these players are. "Showcasing" might work for guys who haven't been in the league for long, but not these guys.

    Why does Simons need to be in the game?

    If we can't get rid of Grant, i would like to see him confined to 3 and D. No isos, no ball handling.

    Shaedon is a better defender than Ant by far and he's the more efficient offensive player as well.

    Fuck... I really hope Ant is gone on Thursday. Not necessarily Ant's fault, maybe it's Chauncey, maybe it's Joe telling Chauncey to have Ant in during important minutes. I just can't stand it anymore.

    Chauncey talks about defense. Simons is a problem on defense.

    Why isn't Sharpe in the game to put pressure in the paint on offense?
