Jaylen Brown is proving that role players play better at home. Having the game of his life and the whistle of his dreams.

It’s hard to view coming off the bench as anything but negative due to egos, buts it’s really a function of improving rotations and optimizing balance. Starting 3 guys under 6’6” with Durant as your power forward has its limitations that we’ve seen throughout this season against the Mavs, Clippers, ...

Luckily it's only 47 million this year

But I hear you. I think for this year, it would correct a lot of issues and might be the best way to maximize this roster.

EG is useful as a shooter for sure, but he makes some really boneheaded decision late in games. I trust Royce handling the ball a heck of a lot more, not to mention his defensive versatility. I can't help but thinking about keeping Royce a starter, and moving Beal (rather than Allen) to the bench, e...

One Nurk bucket shy of the entire starting lineup dropping 20 (and Nurk going 20/20). Satisfying win.

Durant is just trying to do too much. It feels like he's more worried about out scoring LeBron than he is finding the open man for th easy bucket. Okogie is also looking totally redundant out there, just offers nothing at all. On the plus side O'Neale, Bol and Nurk are bringing it tonight. Between ...

Also, this just is not a game where JO should be getting minutes. He’s not useful against teams with large talented wings. And if he’s not useful defensively, he just destroys the offense.

Nuggets, Kings, Warriors, OKC? Sure. Lakers, Clippers, Mavs? No. Just no.

What is KD doing? He had multiple times to dish it to Allen. Just being an asshole frustrated with his shot.

Imagine if Booker had the same whistle Austin f***ing Reeves gets.

Vogel is watching the same Eubanks we are, right? The guy is unplayable. An offensive possession ending with him posting up (with 10 seconds on the shot clock) is malpractice.

There's still no team, just a collection of players. A bunch of dudes out there running, passing, shooting. Vogel hasn't figured out a steady rotation, still no reliable offense outside of Book and KD contested jumpers, still shoddy defense. My thoughts exactly. There isn’t cohesion, no flow on off...

This is a dumb challenge for J Kidd. They win? Great. Suns ball. They lose? Free throws. Juice doesn’t seem worth the squeeze. The kind of stuff that tells players you think that little bit of margin is something you need to have.

Booker woke up. Also, he did the thing in this game. Someone needs to pull up the stats on W-L when Booker ends up on his back and-1.

Okogie just finds ways to impact. The challenge is using him in the right role, which it looks like Frank is figuring out.

Man I really enjoy Beal. He was great tonigut. He’s a joy to cheer for in terms of being a vibes guy too. No one can really replace Mikal in the locker room, but Brad is goofy enough to help defuse things.

Finally made it to Phoenix for a game this year. Of course Book is out, but Grayson does not miss in warm-ups. If I were the betting type I’d be slamming the over on 3s made with the extra opportunities. Good to see Beal well enough to go.

https://x.com/esidery/status/1749115932851495117?s=20p Chris Boucher is available. Could be an interesting fit. Not a great shooter, but career 33% isnt’t Okogie bad. Would give us an athletic big with length to disrupt. Could be useful in spurts against the big wings/4s who have feasted on us so fa...

The whole team is disinterested, but Booker is forcing things offensively and a sieve defensively. Hard to get yourself into top 10 conversations and all-NBA playing like this.

You should be able to get up for a game against a legit playoff team.

I don’t think Vogel has any control. The big 3 haven’t learned to play off each other, and the 4th quarter has become taking turns in iso-ball. It’s the same shit every night. The sets they were running in the first half were working. I don’t understand.

Also, did Udoka die? I thought he was pretty decent in limited minutes. His size would at least get in the way of Zubac. Also, did Udoka die? I thought he was pretty decent in limited minutes.
