I think we have another "Oubre coke" game.
I'll be watching later. What does that mean? Is that good or bad?
Good and bad, a lot of acting and just seems really charged up. I like this version of him, just reminds me of the tasmanian devil or the Ultimate Warrior sometimes.
:lol: The Nets TV guy just literally said, "Oubre..doing some strange stuff tonight.."
We've already had the blown kisses, first down signal and pushups. Just missing the head bob/flex for the full package.
I'm sure they're coming.

Really tired of the stupid fouls Booker commits.
And Ayton seems to drifting toward the outside again after the strong start.
Crap.

Booker is just out of sorts.

Bridges is having a good game. 0-0 on 3s, though.

Our defense is out of sync too. Ballhandlers are driving right to the basket with no help coming. Either that, or it's just not noticeable because we're so small.

Ayton out of the game early and not on the bench. Uh oh.

Should Rubio even be playing if he's going to be this diminished?

Well, now I feel like an idiot for trying to sell Booker as an All Star. Or he's handling it poorly by not being selected instead of it lighting a fire. Who knows.

Suns checked out in the second half. They're sleepwalking. It's embarrassing. This is a game they could have won.

I wish Book would decide to just raise up into his shot instead of dribbling down towards the paint with the defender on his hip as 2 other defenders help on him.

Pretty disgusting how the refs are calling the game right now, but not surprising.

I've switched channels. Not investing much more time with this team.

James Jones has his work cutout for him prior to the trade deadline and this off-season. Of course he did himself no favors with the moves he made last year.

Paying to trade away TJ Warren, sinking too much money into a point guard that passes and does little else, and poor draft choices.

Not much to take away from this (feels like "flush this one" has become the replacement phrase for "timeline") - that said, nice seeing Lecque get some time and he has no fear. Love it.

Missed Lecque. What'd he do?

Bookers in a rough place right now. No getting around it. Jones is going to have to re-sell him on Phoenix, I think.

To be honest, I wouldn't blame him for wanting out right now.

He's just aggressive and has some amazing athleticism. It was in garbage time, but whatever. A bright spot in an otherwise dismal second half for the team.

Liked what I saw from Bridges on offense tonight. He really stayed within his game and comfort range. Now it’s all about consistency.

Looked at Okobos stat line after the game. It was surprisingly not that bad. I don’t remember really seeing him do much but his stats say otherwise.

With that being said, I’d like to see more Lecque. If Monty would do more with him than park him in the corner we might really see something from the kid. He showed some flashes tonight.

I’ve heard people say “Ayton could get a double double in his sleep.” Well that’s exactly what he did. He played dominant and engaged the entire first quarter then he sleep walked through the rest of the game. Maddening. What an enigma.

Booker sucked. But I feel for him. He’s given so much to this team. It’s hard to overcome a large deficit when your team is trying to midrange jump shoot the other team to death. I’m not sure I understand the offensive plan at this juncture.

Zack Lowe was wrong about the Rubio signing. Then he was right.

Oubre’s pushups before bricking both free throws. Perfect. Just how you drew it up.

Embarrassing loss. Paging James Jones. If you see him tell him to come to the front desk. His team is waiting.
