It's not over for the Pistons were up on the Celtics by 21 at half time and found a way to
pull out the loss.

Wembanyama just destroyed Portland. It's hard to believe the Spurs are just 5-25 given how dominant he was!

It was great to see Badji make the most of his minutes. He had a great game.

TBF, much of the dominance was due to his competition. He just roamed around the paint like a Free Safety because Brown and Badji are complete zeroes offensively, and neither of them is a very good archetype to defend him.

It's funny watching Scoot make shots off the dribble. But when it's a catch-and-shoot, he sucks. It's almost as if he has the time before releasing his shot, he should dribble it first.

It's strange because players typically shoot better in catch-and-shoot. In Scoot's case, he's worse.

It’s so much better than vice versa though…C&S is literally about the easiest NBA skill to develop. Having a good feel for shooting off the dribble against real defense is much more difficult.

Given we should be looking to the future I hope we give him some run more often. Moses is a warm body, Duop is better now but 6 years older, Walker is a tweener, RWIII is unreliable and Ayton should be seen as salary ballast for a trade down the road.

I think its likely the guy starting at center for this team in 2 years isnt on the squad yet, or at least I hope he isnt. But Badji is 21 and if he can be a shot blocking garbage man we should give him more looks to see if he has backup potential.

I am just totally out on Ayton. He is a NBA player but you cant be playing 30M+ for Dale Davis. Would move him for a EC and pick or even a John Collins swap.

Scoot looked really nice last night. Otherwise it was rough (Well, outside Badji having a nice run).

If you're 7'4", why can't you grab more rebounds?
