Dario please sit for a couple of games. Play Frank or Smith at this point.

Bridges played like crap and had 2 HORRIBLE 3 point attempts in a row and got yanked right away, Monty better do the same to Saric.

I know all teams have rough back-to-backs, but I think it's something that should definitely be looked into for future seasons and have more thought put into it. Teams should play each other back-to-back or the other team should at least also be on a back-to-back. Scheduling is hard, but they make enough money to figure it out.

Saric doesn't even look like an NBA player right now. It's that bad.

Carter shouldn't be out there. He hesitated WAY too much on that 3...like 2 or 3 times and finally passed it. If you won't take an open 3 they won't guard you and they will double someone else. Get Galloway in there, or even Moore who will take it.

I also think it's a tough ask to have the team on the 2nd night of the back to back to have to travel too. I get that it's a short trip from PHX to LA, but it does wear on you still.

People mentioned playing Nader at 2. This is the type of team you want to. They are too long with Batum, Kawhi and George all out there...then Morris too. Carter's too small unless they are playing two of Beverley, Jackson and Rondo.

Those corner threes by Jackson and George hurt both looked rush yet went in.

That was the stagnant offense's fault that DA ended up taking the 3. Need better movement.

All b2bs before this season were road ones.

Teams (and the league) don't typically want teams to schedules b2b games at home due to less chance of fans filling the arenas.

Ayton showing some good passing skill a couple possessions in a row. The sky really is the limit for him if he wants it enough.
