Freaking Ayton in no man’s land

Lost in the lane again... Oh boy

 

[Mainstreet]

Shamet in at point guard.

 

[SeattleCardinal]

Instead of just dunking the ball, Ayton waits, then misses a two footer.

PLAY WITH FORCE.

And then misses the FTs.

 

[Cheesebeef]

And before the Ayton folks go nuts, CP3 has been completely taken out of this series.

 

[AsUpRoDiGy]

Javale would have dunked that.

He's 100x more aggressive near the rim than Ayton will ever be.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Ayton is involved but playing soft

 

[Folster]

That step back is impossible to defend.

I'll take that shot all night.

 

[Covert Rain]

Scrappy game.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

And before the Ayton folks go nuts, CP3 has been completely taken out of this series.

Yup. He was nonexistent in this quarter. I didn’t even see him try to do anything.

 

[AZ Fan]

Tire them out.

 

[Chaplin]

Ayton is involved but playing soft

Yep I guess this is who he is. If he’s not going to be aggressive in an elimination game in the playoffs we have to plan for that.

 

[Dr. Jones]

Ayton is involved but playing soft

Agreed. It's frustrating because hes playing well by the stat line but could be 5 to 6 points higher with 3 or 4 more boards.

 

[Shaggy]

Yup. He was nonexistent in this quarter. I didn’t even see him try to do anything.

Something is up with him mentally. Just looks lost.

 

[Dr. Jones]

The shrinking of CP3 is of grave concern for our overall playoff hopes.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Dallas already with 7 more shots than we’ve gotten. That’s a bad sign. Those are the games we lose.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Doncic with 9 shots already. So to an extent it’s a continuation of last game in that sense. That’s okay.

 

[Mainstreet]

Monty talking about building a wall in the huddle.

 

[Raindog]

Ayton is a space cadet. He just seemingly randomly checks in and out mentally, and his intensity comes and goes. It's almost like his mind is elsewhere and he forgets he's playing in a game.

 

[Folster]

Something is up with him mentally. Just looks lost.

I don't think his mind and body are in sync. His body can't consistently do what his mind tells it to do.

 

[Chaplin]

Dallas already with 7 more shots than we’ve gotten. That’s a bad sign. Those are the games we lose.

All 3s

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Monty going with same bench as last game.

 

[Mainstreet]

And Biz comes in at center and promptly scores.

 

[Dr. Jones]

Bizzy rollin

 

[Raindog]

Biz might give us some good aggressive minutes.
