Getting the short end of the stick both ways lol

If you're within 60 miles of the broadcast tower, you might be able to get a signal with a proper long range antenna and some luck with obstacles and signal propagation. There are web sites that can check the signal path for you, recommend an antenna that might work, and tell you which way to point it. Signal quality usually improves at night, clouds/rain can help, and the lower the frequency (which is not always indicated by the channel number) the better.

what do you mean by legitimate player?

this year, Okoro has been one of the more valuable role players in the league with his increased volume and efficiency on threes and his ever-present defense

its a little scary for the contract implications this off-season

If Okoro maintained his current play, I agree that he would/should be viewed as a legit 3 and D player leaguewide. With how confident he has looked lately, it makes me wonder how much further he can take his game. I am not saying he will get to the same level by any means, but I am starting to get Jimmy Butler/Kawhi vibes from a development perspective.

Your last comment scares me as well, how many teams will covet a 23 year old athletic wing with defensive versatility who can knock down 3s with solid efficiency, while also being to create for himself and others a bit...

His value will be closely tied to his playoff performance, but I'll be surprised if he gets as much as Sexton. His confidence demons resurfaced a bit after Thibs left him unguarded and he went 0-5 in the second half against the Knicks. He's passing on open looks and forcing action inside when it's not there. Also, the body of work that both he and LeVert put together with Mitchell and/or Strus out was pretty underwhelming. We played some bad teams during that stretch and both guys struggled.

I hope it means we intend on helping the officials find their whistles when other teams get really physical with us and they let it go.
