NAW already appears to have been squeezed out of the rotation in this first half.

McLaughlin being able to hit open 3s is the difference between playable and unplayable.

Bad foul there by Jordan McLaughlin, gotta rotate back off after the first stab. Fortunately, Adebayo clanked both.

A healthy JMac is an absolutely trustworthy backup PG.

Really a bummer that he didn’t finish that highlight ankle-breaker. Mostly good stint by Jordan McLaughlin, though!

So far this season I'm not liking what I'm seeing from the PG by committee approach. None of Ant, NAW, Milton, or Anderson have been able to make the offense work as the primary ball handler.

Tyler Herro is the archetype that Jaden McDaniels was built to defend.

Nickeil Alexander-Walker is hemorrhaging future minutes.

EDIT: Of course he’d make multiple hustle plays immediately after sending this. :lol:

I hate that imperceptible travel call off the dribble. It creates no advantage ruins the flow.

NAW is really struggling. What's the deal there?

KAT needs to stop pump faking on 3s where he could get the shot off. Just take the shot.

We really need this game with Butler sitting and Miami playing so many young deep bench players.
This is kinda embarrassing honestly. They tried to give us this one before the game even started.

Offense has been flowing better but KAT and ANT really haven't been a part of it.
Good minutes from Naz and Jmac in the first half keeping the ship from sinking.
