I wanna blame Joe for our free throw shooting, but I just can’t.

Well that's the spin I'm talking about despite the good block.

Because he doesn't even try. He's deadly on the left post especially when he spins baseline. He'd much rather spam 3's.


It's frustrating because he's capable.
and that's "MR. Irrelevant" to you!!

I think our losses come down to one thing, PP not making any buzzer beaters. How can you win without that?

The offense of bench heavy units actually makes more sense. Not a lot of rando iso stagnant possessions.

No matter how much he misses, I love seeing Hauser out there doing laps like he’s Curry.

They may overturn this into a block but love that move from JT. Go hard at the rim instead of these sissy pullups.

It’s weird, it seems like double big works but if it’s kornet as one of the bigs. Could be recency bias but i swear it seems like it works with korny.

Just wanna see more movement overall. We bail out the defense with all the standing around.

His release looks like crap. Overthinking it.

We're lucky the Mavs are shooting like we did at the rim in LA
