Yes its actually that bad. Only his first attempt was close. The rest were wide open. As I said, I have no idea what is up with Ayos 3s this year. I just hope it doesnt linger and still has the confidence to get out of the slump.

Missing that Zenni sponsorship today. Someone needs to get new goggles.

Best quarter of Matas career. 5 points and he blocked Luka, love it. Play him more Billy!! This is super valuable

do not understand these minutes for THT.

In past games I felt like - just give them to Matas.

Now Matas is playing and THT still is getting minutes and I feel like - just give those minutes to Craig and see if you can generate any trade value.

Just don't get what we're doing here with THT.

Is Julian Phillips hurt? Surprised I didnt see him before Matas or with.

EDIT: Guess it was Billys plan

Pat needs to stop trying new moves for the first time in an NBA game.

Billy has given Pat an isolation to begin the quarter a few times this season.

The Mavs are leaving him wide open in the corner, it's not like we're going to get a better shot. :dontknow:

That timeout stopped Pat from turning the ball over again.

The cynic in me says he is on the team because he is from Chicago.

I saw plenty of him when he was on the Lakers. He is fine as a driver but that's about it. 8th man who plays like he is going for 6th man of the year.

Dribbling with his off-hand isn't a new move. Just looks like one.

At least Pat is getting his 3 ball back.

I hope this is just a slump from Ayo instead of last year being a fluke.

How come the Bulls can never find guys like Gafford?

Oh...wait...

Mk0 · Post #37 » by **Mk0** » Thu Nov 7, 2024 2:26 am

Giddey keeps the ball moving man.. He and Vuc with the touch passes are real nice.

Post #38 » by **DASMACKDOWN** » Thu Nov 7, 2024 2:27 am

That really is the next step for Coby. He is still adjusting but he cant have scoreless quarters. It was like this last game but he did get 20 in the second half. If Coby wants to be that allstar, he needs to put pressure on the opposing team at all times.

He's barely playing 20 minutes this year. It's not hard to find a 10/6 big.

Not enough shooting out there. Dallas can collapse hard into the paint on every drive. Gafford doesn't even guard Giddey or Ayo when switched onto them.
