Blaha turned 78 today... hopefully they get the W for him since this season has been enough to take a toll for sure.... been a solid 1st quarter for us.

Their starting bigs are Jalen and a Jaylin Williams? Sheesh... I know almost no one on this OKC team.

Jalen Williams isn't a big, and he's likely finishing 2nd or 3rd in ROTY, he's very legit

Entertaining so far.

Hayes and Bagley are so **** bad and clueless. I watched 5 mins of this game and it was enough to remind me why I haven't been watching this **** team play.

Duren and Ivey are looking good at least. They're playing mostly against GLeaguers tho.

Seeing bigs feeding other bigs for dunks makes me happy. But I'm old school; I want my 7 footers dunking rather than shooting 3's.

Then you're not watching the game; you're looking at the box score.

Ivey gotta be better on defense

Boy, Giddey sure seems to get star treatment from the refs.

Bagley has been solid this game. Hasn't forced much, and has made several decent passes even though he only has 3 assists it could have easily been a few more. Last year he was often a black hole getting the ball its good to see him looking for others. All three bigs have been solid.

BS offensive foul call on Duren. Gets a pass, the defender pushes up on him while he's bringing the ball up with his elbows in tight, and he gets whistled for the contact. That'd be a blocking call almost any other time.

OMG...are my eyes deceiving me?

Jalen Williams is really good

His defense is so bad that it erases any good he's been doing on offense. The OKC broadcast even made fun on it, saying we forgot to play defense in the last play of the half. Bagley literally watched the guy brick a 3.

He's -2, best amongst the starters. Try watching the game.

WIseman has the best stats of the 3 bigs with 12 and 9 on 6-8 shooting, but all the other things he really is lacking in... decision making and just seems too often to make the wrong play at a bad time. Talent is there, still a long ways to go to be a positive impact player.

Being that it's a close game and the Pistons starter Livers has put up a big fat donut, I'd say the bigs are doing just fine.
