The OKC announcers just said Lindy Waters is too good of a shooter to hit the side of the backboard on a shot.

So an undrafted player who spent all last year in the G League is incapable of such a poor shot?

I have now heard every single thing.

After the Mavs game, it was fucking hilarious seeing all the Mav fans cry on Reddit and Twitter about how the refs were favoring the suns all game :lol:

I don’t know why Booker was even out there for defense with 2 fouls
Excellent point. Monty subs out Ayton for Ish, but leaves Booker, who has 30, in on a defensive series... :shock: :? :roll:

To be fair, none of "fans" actually watched the game, they just stared at Lulu's dad bod the whole time.

For a guy considered to be a above average coach, he sure stinks at rotations and adjustments on the fly.

Monty leaving Book in with 2 fouls and 2 seconds left in the second was dumb.

Monty pulling him with 4 fouls is also dumb (unless he puts him back in the 3rd).

Refs gave Book more respect as a damn rookie than they do now. Wish Monty would just give in once and say a curse word at them and get their attention.

I’ve liked how Ayton has played tonight…I will say his usual contact averse play makes it hard to get calls…refs are accustomed to him avoiding contact…think that’s why he didn’t get that call.

Also Book doesn’t sell and seek out contact like the Luka, Harden, and Derozans of the world…that’s why he gets a bad whistle I think.
