These refs are fucking AWFUL
Every game, NBA ref quality has gone out the window.
No it hasn’t, it’s just that the NBA is partners with every online betting site. They have a vested interest in the outcomes of every game. Depends on how the betting is trending they officiate to get the outcome they would like.
It’s no different than wwe. But then again, it’s only entertainment. Enjoy it when you can, but don’t take it so seriously.

Mark Williams was awesome in this one. From the first possession you can tell he was trying to put the team on his back offensively. I thought Brooks also gave us a really good game other than a couple of big boneheaded plays (part of the package?). I thought Grayson was really good, too, hitting some timely 3s and layups we really needed. And I was proud of Dunn who had one of his more impactful games on both ends; I think he had 4 steals. Oh and I have to shout out my man BOUYEA for doing a great job running the floor and giving us some of that Barbosa energy. Real nice team effort in this one and held the win at the end despite a scary Nets comeback attempt.
Bouyea plays with such pace and just makes everything he does look easy. He's smaller but has that wingspan and quickness where he can just get where he wants. He's a fun player to watch.

Yeah, he's surprising with his skillset. For starters, he is extremely fast and agile. He is also a pretty decent shooter. And he has some real extension and acrobatics on his layups. If anything I'm surprised he hasn't stuck on an NBA team before this; he is way better than most end-of-the-bench NBA players if you ask me. Love him.

Didn't realize we had this many points in the paint and forced this many turnovers (though Dunn got a ton of steals).

It is going to be a real challenge as to who we keep in the off season. I actually have liked what I have seen from Livers as well. Unlike last year we have a lot of solid reserves in addition to our two draft picks which could warrant a return to next season's team.

It was an interesting interview with Mark right after the game. He was basically asked why he had such a productive night and his answer was that he needed to step up with Book, Jalen and CG not available. I think he is needed every night and have seen flashes of his potential to do what he did last night every night. While I am a Dillon supporter and an Ott supporter. Mark needs more touches and shots than he is getting on a nightly basis. If he gets the ball anywhere near the basket he seems to be able to finish on anyone. That should open things up even more for Book, Dillon, Allen and CG along with Jalen if he ever plays.
What has happened to O'Neale's shot the last few games?

Grayson Allen did not deserve that technical foul.

Williams is an impressive athlete, great agility for his size and he seems to get bigger near the basket due to his wingspan. Nice seeing him score in a variety of ways and make an impact.

Totally agree. It's also slightly on Williams as he hasn't shown much, if any, creation ability so he's totally reliant on his teammates. This seemed to be one of the first games where he actually scored off moves of more than 3 dribbles. But again, totally agree. His teammates miss him in scoring position an unforgivable amount every game.
