I just want to see Ayton dunk the ball like... once.

I'm tired of yelling at the screen for him to dunk. He has all that height and athleticism but won't tap into it when he's close enough to tattoo Wilson off someone's forehead.

Damn, nice to see more aggression from Ayton getting to the line, but gotta hit your free throws. Not like him to miss that many, shooting like 77% for the season and 82% in his last 10 games.

If only Ayton had the smart aggressiveness of Torey Craig.

Ayton and Mikal with nice passes to cutting Craig. They also mentioned it in the commentary how both had career highs with CP3 out.

Booker doesn't look good so far. Cam Payne good start and then patented stepping out of bounds.

Craig in contract year is a good player.

Finally..nice to see Book get to the rim. Was wondering why settling for so many jumpers after getting to the line so much the last two games...especially staring 2-9. Nice Payne feed.

Man, we can't hold a lead if our collective lives depended on it.

Was interesting seeing Ayton block Craig's defender and motioning out to the ball handler to pass it to an open Craig for the 3, and they do and he nails it.

If he had he'd be a deserved #1 pick

Hopefully Ayton plays a good second half like in the last game against the Jazz, he hasn’t been a positive factor so far in the game.

We need him to dominate inside a fewbtike to clear space for our perimeter players. For now there isn't good spacing on our half court sets.

Did anyone else hear Craig telling the ref during DA's free throws that this wasn't the Garden and to stop calling it like it was?

Yeah, like the early aggression but weird he missed them all. Last game he was 3-3.

Is Ayton ever going to dominate a game?

Booker seems off which makes sense after he’s been on fire the last few games and having to carry the team in most of them. He was due for an off game. Hope Bridges/Payne can make up some of the scoring like they’ve done so far.

Yeah, need a good second half. Some positives though, despite the missed free throws. No turnovers which has been a problem for him and more rebounds than usual including a couple offensive ones, though nice if he would have followed at least the second one with points instead of missed free throws.

Someone needs to find the floor audio of DA's (second set of) missed free throws.
