I went Christmas shopping with my kids last night. I spent too much money but missed the game, so it all worked out.
You were better off. It was frustrating.
Yes, it was a very frustrating game and uphill battle from the start. It was amazing that we even had a shot to tie it late. Just got to flush it as one of those lulls after the seven game streak. Just didn't have the energy last night. At least I didn't spend any money. ;) :P
Even though he played well, I didn't love starting Okogie. It allowed the Raps to shrink the floor even more with their length and that caused problems for Booker all night.

Waste of a really good Nurk game too.

Agreed about Okogie. It's better to maximize spacing with Booker and KD on the court and Allen is a far better option overall.

Except Allen wasn't available.
Synchronicity and all that jazz, man.

Right. I interpreted the discussion as Okogie should start regardless of who's available.

Specifically in this game. Raps don’t have a great guard that needs stopping and it made us really small out there without good spacing.

I would have preferred KBD or even Metu.
