Unfortunately this is probably going to be a blood bath. This team couldn't even get up for the Amare induction game. This team has become lazy and coasts off of who they think they are rather than who they actually are. Can't wait to watch Beal ND KD pass up open shots only to have Eubanks and Okogie take a contested two. Yay! No heart!

At least Okogie puts in supreme effort and cares about defense.

Well I doubt Okogie plays when we are healthy. Beal and EG have been out. Book is out tonight. Ultimately Okogie won’t play when we are at full strength.
1. Book, EG
2. Beal, Okogie
3. Allen, Royce
4. KD, Bol
5. Nurk, Eubanks(Thad)
I guess technically Okogie is probably our 10th man but I’d expect an 8-9 man rotation when it matters. Royce and EG will take all the backup 2/3 minutes and we might even see KD at the 3.

Well, at least Lakers lost last night and Warriors got destroyed this afternoon...
Window is open again ... blue skies ahead?

Dallas also lost today

Do you think he will in the playoffs? Maybe situationally, like last possession of quarter/half/game. I’d be surprised if he’s in there during regular minutes if we are completely healthy. Maybe if Grayson just isn’t making shots and getting roasted by a Curry, Fox, or Kyrie

Good solid start from the guys
Leaving Giddey open is an obvious strategy to try clog the lane and shrink the floor against SGA

Better start than expected. Crazy that Nurk already had 12 boards in the first quarter.
Stop passing to Eubanks in the post.

Nurk eating up space in the paint
Taking advantage of OKC lack of size
Vogel really should go with Bol against these guys instead of Eubanks....

Been a decent quarter but just don't understand the KD bringing up the ball
Saben Lee and just hand the ball over if anything
Have KD coming up against Dort full court pressure makes no sense on many levels
