Great half by bridges, DA and Paul were good. Wainwright solid,

Not sure anyone else contributed much of anything, cam j, Craig, okogie, etc

I'm liking this new CP who isn't shy taking the 3PT shots

Bridges is on absolute fire. If he can be this player post Paul, I think we could absolutely go Booker/Bridges at 1/2, with Cam at the 3 and a decent PF in there.

Nice to see Ayton with more energy and his defense and contests look better, but he is missing too many shots he usually makes. It definitely is in his head..at some point he's got to bounce back and get to those really efficient games. Also active on some offenive boards and a very nice pick and roll with him and Bridges. Haven't seen that much.

Bridges super impressive. I never much liked the Scottie Pippen comparisons but he looks a little like Scottie tonight.

At least DA made a rim running dunk tonight
So baby steps.

I think it's odd why he gets so much separation by jumping on his mid range and barely jump at all for 3.

This is prob why he's so automatic at the top of the key and has kinda mixed results on his threes.

Agree been asking for that foe 2 years now, Book gets back makes this team much more dangerous. I'm still of the mindset they add a couple solid bench pieces at the deadline they are still competing for the chip.

And just like that, our lead is gone.

The sooner we can get Craig back to a 10th mam role the better

When did we become completely unreliable right at the basket?

Ayton makes 30+ million a year and guarding players half his size. He should be dominating this game. It’s frustrating.

As Tom Chambers said of him after the last game: "... He plays like a seven foot tall small forward."

Nurse and Monty challenging themselves to see who puts the worst lineup possible in the court.

If we were paying cam and craig the max id be pissed.

But we arent.

Ayton deserves the criticism he receives.
