    They're missing a lot of layups.

    All these +/-6'5 guys struggling to finish at rim.

    Man, just go up strong.

    The Reverse Layup is our kryptonite

    I'm surprised bullard hasn't shouted "He should have dunked that!" on any of the reversals.

    It was borderline crazy. So if your threes are not falling and the other team has a monster rim protector what are you going to do? You have to take the mod range shots.

    Man when derozen does something nasty he never shows any reaction. Kinda like that.

    Agreed. I’m sure Silas has taken notice and have them work on it.

    Also I'm going to say it right now and we have all been thinking it : Silas >>>>> Dantoni.

    The ball movement, the diversifed attack, the unpredictability. Harden has gotten two widen open spot up threes this half which is two more than he has had in 5 years. Harden has only had to iso once or twice and the offense has still run smoothly. Silas was the architect of the best offense in history last year in Dal and it was no fluke.

    All Dantoni ended up devolving into was give the ball to Harden and lazy iso, lazy coaching.

    Well, it's pre-season, they've got some younger players, but we're doing this against some of their main players. This squad is definitely out-hustling them. Christian Wood was Mr. Everything in that first quarter, so that got us started.

    That’s our new credo. All reverse layups all the time. Comes straight from the top.

    Man, we need to grab some boards on some of these plays where we have 3 guys under the basket and still can't get the rebound.

    Okay now THAT shot I don't like from Wood. The step in and take a shot 1 ft. inside the 3-point line. You could tell he felt a bit uncomfortable and knew he made a mistake.

    That was a goof by wood. Damn Tony would’ve sat him down for that.

    I do like when he calls timeouts so far too.

    It really ticked me off to watch big leads slip down to up 2 points for MDA to finally call a timeout.
