The shooting is nice and I know that's important in the league now but I'd also like to see him become a refined low post scorer.

Lost by 1

I am trying to look at the silver lining that we're missing a bonafide scorer in Green and are just starting to utilize Mark Williams. We also haven't had Brooks for 2 games. But you are what your record says you are and we can't dig this deep of a hole this early in the year.

Every team is paying someone that money. We need to reallocate money from the perimeter guys (Royce/Allen or Green) to a PF. I just hope he doesn't get so frustrated with a rookie head coach and a roster like this year's and ask out next year. I'm against pro actively trading him but I also don't ...

Also, I'm not out on Book but his body language isn't great from what I'm seeing. He's looked pretty down and frustrated, which is understandable right now but I wanted to see more oncourt leadership and positivity this season and it hasn't looked like that's been the case. I'm obviously not around ...

Sucks to lose that one, especially the way it ended but you could feel it headed that way all game. We just couldn't get stops when we needed to. Even when we had the lead we could never really break it open. Ja broke our defense down and it seemed like all 5 guys were collapsing onto him leaving ...

53-49 at the half, CG is knocking down a ton of shots, Book is 1-9 and just doesn't look great. 3pt defense sucks, looks like some miscommunication leaving guys open or getting sucked too deep into the paint and not being able to recover out to shooters. Williams looks good still, Dunn with some ...

Ott has to be trolling us with these lineups. Book, Livers, Dunn, NHD, Williams isn't serious.

You can't convince me Fleming and Richards are worse than Livers, NHD and Oso. I like Oso but he's just overmatched by bigger players in the paint. NHD offers nothing.

Moving in the right direction

It's like an algebra equation.

CG, Book, Brooks, ?, Williams is the kind of lineup that can get you a play-in spot. Allen, Dunn, Richards off the bench, maybe Goodwin. We just need a playable 4.

Even if he is "Okogie in a bigger body", the fact that he's 6-8 220 gives him more value as a defender than 6-4 Okogie IMO.

Nah that's 5 steps even with a "gather" and euro step. He shuffled his feet before the euro step, which is when he needed to dribble.

You might be right but it's still only his 2nd year and he's been on some dysfunctional teams and bad rosters. If he were on the Thunder, he's likely a guy we'd wish we drafted. I'd also like to see him playing extended minutes with an actual PG like Gillespie, who can maybe get him some better ...

Obviously everyone will be watching who starts and the how the team plays to open the game. Grizzlies have been starting Ja, Wells, KCP, JJJ and Jock. They don't have a lot of size overall but I'd hope Williams starts regardless.

I don't want to call this a must-win but it kinda is.

His drop in minutes is concerning to me. It seems Ott is leaning into offense and Dunn would look a lot better next to scoring/playmaking 4 (which, ironically,we had last year but Bud benched him). I think he's still showing flashes of offense and has looked good getting downhill. Playing him next ...
