 I like that play we run out of timeouts sometimes
that swings to the SF to get a running start slashing to the basket, TJ usually gets it and Oubre did it just now

we should still be able to close this out, Ross can be a problem if he's on though. kinda impossible to block his jumper
smh.....

Terrible call. My God.
What is smallball? I play basketball. I'm not a regular big man. I can switch from the center to the guards. The game is evolving. I'd be dominAyton if the WNBA would let me in. - Ayton

I still don't understand why we didn't foul when we were up 4 and they had no timeouts

I could hear Jeff Van Gundy on this
he hates when players don't jump in a natural shooting motion to get the call

That followup call on Ayton. Really? I care so little these days that it doesn't bother me so much as baffle me.

If Booker is just going to sit at the top of the key until there is like 7 seconds less we might as well run the offense during that time to try and get an open shot. Then give it to Booker to bail us out.

That call was just so bad. Not only didn't Bridges touch him, Augustin jumps sideways to initiate the contact. Awful.

But locked in defensively in OT. I'll take that.
Jones and Vogel gotta go.
