Allen has already hit a couple of 3s. It is good to have him out there. I like Booker/Grayson as a backcourt pairing much more than Booker/Green fwiw.
You're high. He's just launching them and missing badly and he's getting picked on relentlessly on D
This rotation of 6'4 players and Oso is a JOKE

Grayson always late rotating. Played Highsmith for a couple minutes. Just don’t understand not trying Rasheer. This our season, time to start throwing shit out there because what we have been doing is NOT WORKING.

I don't think Gillespie can guard Shai. He's not been a threat on offense really either. I think if a player is 7-7 at halftime it's time to try something else. Five boards is nice but man...how do we not try Fleming here?

You're right that Grayson has missed several (he's 2-7) and his defense has been slow, letting Shai and others blow by him. So not a flawless performance. I still like his shooting and having him out there.
But I agree that it's inexplicable that Fleming isn't out there playing at least some minutes. I liked seeing Maluach in the 1st half though. Stats aren't that impressive (0 points, 1 rebound in 6 minutes) but I think he affects a lot of shots and intimidates players inside much more than Oso.

What adjustment have we made since game 1??? Not a fucking single one. Coach BOTT.
Trash ass rotation. Highsmith and Fleming just rotting on the bench. FUCKING CLOWN!!!!!
Yes i don’t get it….

I'm concerned by how much OKC's random guards and bench guys are getting easy shots and scoring on us. Ajay Mitchell has 10, Jaylin Williams 6, Caruso 7, Cason Wallace 6, Jared McCain 7. These random guys should not be lighting us up like this. Getting way too many open looks and blowing by our guys to get to the rim.

Ott should sub in Fleming for Oso in the second half (when he subs for Oso).
Maluach was a bit lackadaisical in his minutes, getting back a bit tardy on defense.
Fleming might give them more energy.

Interesting stats…Chet a -8…his foul trouble kinda hurt us. We were clearly targeting him on switches and it was working. Green and Brooks were both scoring on him.
Grayson a -21…we could really use him, but he can’t move on defense and he’s not hitting shots.
