    The effort on defense tonight is starting to look a lot like the effort on defense last night.

    These guys are just lost on rotations. Ayton is missing everything, not running back. He looks confused.

    This is a coaching issue.

    Chauncey should be embarrassed

    Last two minutes were given all the effort of a team that's tanking.

    That was embarrassing to watch.

    I'm not sure that Grant and Simons are good for the team. Simons more than Grant.

    The teams body language is discerning.

    Scoot earned the right to start the 2nd half. Billups could send a message.

    Or he could send the message that he rewards piss-poor play by talking and doing nothing.

    Scoot and Matisse got benched for playing too good !! This is some sneaky stealth tank stuff. I don't have any other explanation.

    This is the worst roster this franchise has ever fielded.

    The starting backcourt was pitiful scoring-wise. 1-12.

    Its crazy, we get "healthy" and we get worse! Just awful half, Scoot looked good. Why is Simons launching so many LONG threes?

    welcome to the draft party in December. Our new rookies next summer will fix everything.

    Body language definitely indicated lack of engagement.

    More concerned that Chauncey did nothing about it. Probably waiting for the half, but he did something last game or the game before, too. That's worth keeping an eye on.

    Grant, Tise, Scoot have been playing with some grit. Time for Shaedon Sharpe to get involved.

    I'd like to see Brogdon and Scoot start the 2nd half. They've only played 11/10 minutes so far in this game.
