Who is on the all-cupping team? Camara, Doncic,…
Draymond.
He's also on the kicking, stomping, and choking team. Mr Versatile.
:D Technicals, ejections, suspensions… He does it all!

Yeah Book still looks little off. It’s because we brought him back 1 game to early.

Metu should take Okogie’s minutes.
Different roles and positions. Metu would be more likely to take minutes from Yuta or Little, but as we just saw, he's really the 3rd Center.
I mostly mean Okogie shouldn’t play anymore.
I disagree. He makes things happen. He draws fouls, gets to the FT line and makes them.

Did you see how badly DA wanted the ball posting up Book at the end there, and they wouldn't give it to him? So typical. :lol:
Maybe he shouldn't have tried to post up 15-feet away from the ball handler with off-ball defenders waiting to knock away a pass. That was very typical of Ayton.
Umm, the paint is typically the best place to post up.
He was trying to post up while moving away from the passer. Low IQ.

:D I like him being a playmaker and all but I miss his aggressive scoring. I miss 20 point, first quarter Book.

Yeah, he's been one of the only guys to actively pursue rebounds. Pretty much every other non-Center waits for the ball to bounce before trying to grab it.

Meh, he just has two points I like his activity too but he just too offensively limited. I trust Little more offensively and I would like to see if Metu 40% 3pt shooting from preseason is real.

Yeah, I think it's bad for us if we pull Okogie out of the rotation and destroy his confidence. At his best Okogie is really valuable.

Why does it seem like only the Suns get called for fouls on loose ball rebounds?

The dude in the hamburger costume wanted to talk shit and celebrate early and other hamburger guy won. That’s what you get for taking your eyes off the prize and not finishing the job!

As it currently stands, Okogie wouldn’t see the light of day in any playoff rotation. I just want to see what other guys on the team got.

That's twice someone has passed to KD behind them on a fastbreak. It worked this time, but it's such an inefficient pass and drives me crazy lol.

No. Don’t ruin the illusion for me. I need to know there’s hamburger justice in this cruel world.

I don't think that's true. He's still probably the best perimeter defender we've got.

Most people with 9 made shots get more than 18
