  1. Yay another stellar example of how crap Billups is as a coach! Plays sharpe too many minutes but probably cause he just hides him in the corner every play, so much for developing him into a star, spot up shooting role player works too. 🤦🏻‍♂️ Just keep wasting time on this moron as he can’t develop crap except keywords n passing blame during interviews.

  2. That game was such a bummer. The biggest game of the season and they have 4 million unforced turnovers 🤦‍♂️

  3. The difficulty is there is absolutely no outside shooting whatsoever, especially in light of how much Shaedon was struggling and his legs were very heavy at that point.

    They are so limited to get scoring, especially late when defenses clamp down.

    I had no issues with the play sets, Grant was literally the only guy last night who can get his own shot.

    I disagree, the shooting is a major problem and, at "winning time" there is zero spacing available, no lanes to operate.

    The inexperienced players really struggling with knowing how to get Ayton to ball.

    Mays isn't a shooting threat to run pic and role, so you were left with Shaedon who isn't a good pic and role and was spent.

    Take into account the game is at altitude and completely depleted roster.

    When Ant, Brodgon and Scoot return this completely changes everything.

    This also is still a very incomplete roster that needs more shooting to provide spacing and allows Ayton room to operate.

    Fans are going to really struggle with losing and attempt to place blame inadvertently.
