  1. It seems like Dalton is the kinda player that does best when his confidence is high. His confidence seems to be highest when he’s making shots but he needs to find some type of spark by doing things outside of that. On d he’s playing like a kid being forced to eat their veggies rather than someone who gets an opportunity to potentially make a play for their team. Hes gotta take some pride in it otherwise he’s gonna be a Wizard in Feb 😂🤷🏽‍♀️

  2. Everyone talking about Aytons offensive performance, but dude I saw him open MULTIPLE times and he wasn’t given the ball. Big one was when vando got the steal passed it to Ayton, Ayton passed it to Rui and rim ran, and Rui didn’t get him the damn ball

  3. Lakers looked bad. It’s gonna be like last year again if they don’t figure themselves out. Lakers still need to be able to compete without Luka and LeBron periodically

  4. It seems like JJ is trying to build the team from the ground up, get his worst possible rotations some playtime, work out the kinks early, and address problem issues before the season starts. He knows what he's gonna get from Luka and Bron and even a guy like Smart to an extent. He wants to see what the other guys are gonna do when they can't rely on their superstars/vets and what bad habits rear their ugly heads. He could probably care less about optics in pre-season

  5. This game tells us that AR is not it. Can't run an offense, only looking for his shot and dribbling. Gabe can run and offense better than AR

  6. If we look for anything positive in a game where there weren't many things positive, we will find that they held the Suns to 103 points. That is pretty good. The problem was the great lack of offense. They were throwing up bricks. Give those shot options to Luka, LeBron, and possibly Smart, I would expect more points on the board and higher percentages. I'm quite sure with LeBron and Luka on the floor, they would have scored more than 81 points, most likely breaking the 100-point mark. We can count on LeBron for at least 25 points and Luka for at least 30 points. That is a big difference. If you add any one of them, much less both of them, and they win the game.

  7. I LEARNED THE SAME THING EVERY OPEN SHOT SUNS GOT GUESS WHO WAS GUARDING THEM FREAKING “RUI” I SEE WHY THE WIZARDS LET HIM GO NOW A FEW OPEN JUMPSHOTS & 3’s CANT MAKE UO FOR THIS GETTING LOST ON DEFENSE & NOT BEING ABLE TO REBOUND MAKES IT WORSE IMAGINE SWITCHIN HIM OUT FOR WIGGINS THAT WOULD LA DANGEROUS

  8. You’re going to have games where Luka and Lebron will be out during the season. What we leaned are Bronny and DK continue to be trash. Bronny does not belong in the NBA. DK needs to go for a fresh start for him. He’s crashed since the trade.

  9. I learned yall hyped tf outta vando's jumper, bronny is still a shot chucking brick machine, Ayton + dribbling = turnover, Rui still can't finish around the rim, laravia and his lack of defensive stance is gunna get him dropped off a crossover, Davis will be dropped because he played better than bronny, knecht lost his game to a monstar during that charlotte trade, and our preseason flaws usually stay until a playoff exit
