If he would have hit that last 3 instead of an air ball...

Don't forget 2 steals and a block.

43 is impressive, but most importantly, we got that L.

Anthony Davis's 45 in overtime is the top NBA headline
Booker's 43, with 21 in the last 8 of regulation is nowhere on my NBA news page.

The NBA TV guys were disappointed we weren't competing. As in not playing good defense and making it too easy on the Blazers. That was all true and something this team needs to learn how to do consistently. That said, they finally started competing half way through the 3rd quarter but of course by then it was too late. At least we know they can do it. The next step is to do it consistently and from the start of a game. But Booker did put on a show to end the ballgame.

Gotta watch for those individual performances. The team as a whole is rough.

A) AD got the win against a much better team, and in OT.
B) Booker's scoring run came when the game was already out of hand, and it took all that scoring just to make it less embarrassing.

I don't know who else is on EST or AST time zones but I'm embarrassed at my struggles to watch games this season. These 11:30PM start times are nothing new to me and I have made it a habit in recent years to even stay up til the late games finished for fantasy news/pickups :lol: . must be the diet :? , I would not say getting old because I younger than most here :oops:

All I saw last night was Josh alley then we were quickly down 7, then I woke up to see Devin cutting the lead to 9 late. Anyways was watching the game just now assuming that was the deficit most of the night, so yea that 3rd quarter was fairly brutal but I was glad the guys made a run. To your point Indy , Daniels barrage came at the start of the 4th and we basically cut the lead from 22 to 10 and Stotts immediately brought back the starters so I don't think we necessarily made the score respectable only in garbage time. foul trouble more than anything resulted in Josh having a quiet game so we'll see how next game goes.

Is anyone else as tired of Tyson as me sigh smh. the article about him wanting to play two more years makes me nervous

Chandler needs to ride the pine. Want to mentor? Do it from the bench. Enjoy your mew job as the world's most expensive babysitter/security guard.

YES! Hoping this happens once Williams is back. HAven't heard anything on him lately. Tired of Chandler's 2 points 7 rebounds every night when five of them drop straight to him anyway. He's getting torched in D alot more now also. Would rather have Monroe's passing and post offense.

Chandler isn't converting the lobs like he used to this season. He's really done, like it or not. I honestly don't know why we don't see more Monroe.

Monroe is probably our 2nd or 3rd best player. And we choose to play him once in a blue moon...
