I think this is the game we were all thinking might be win #1. It will be interesting to see if we can get win #2 today.

Agree. Winnable game, but not sure if that's good or bad.

I think winning games is a good thing. The young guys need to learn what it takes to get wins in the NBA. It is hard to fix when losing gets normalized to the players.

If Ayton can get physical with Duren, we should be fine. If he gets overpowered I don’t feel as good about it.

I'm sure Ausar is good but with all that hype about him being the best defensive player on the planet I would have expected him to be able to keep up with Sharp.

Cade is torching us. They are a much better shooting team than us.

Amazing that we are still in this game. We need to go to Sharp more. They don't have anyone who can't stay in front of him.

Did Scoot get banged up? Not sure why Mays is in at the moment. Scoot had a pretty good 3rd quarter.

I really like the defensive intensity this team has shown in the second half
