I think Okogie is not actually 'good' but he brings the energy like no one else. And you just can't take your eyes off him when he's out there. Or at least i can't.

Why has Okogie not been getting minutes since the trade? Oh yeah. Because of the great Tyus Jones.

Got to love Thibs and his two PG rotations.

Also I'd probably have Okogie on Lillard or McCollum right now instead of Harkless.

What made him a monster is he took the shots the defense gave him & made them at a high clip.

Now he's just trying to be a bull in the paint to get a call

Maybe. But it looks the same as always to me. His nifty soft touch just doesn't appear on target tonight. That and they are outright blocking him over and over. He'll need to kick out even more if they are going to defend the rim that well. It looks like they aim to take him out of this one and are doing so up to now.

I hear you. Rose should not be playing SG. Misuse of his skills.

We'd see a different player if he got consistent minutes, I see us running offense through him once his ball handling and confidence improves.

Where would Donovan Mitchell be right now if Thibs was his coach? Never would've had a chance at ROY

He's got pretty good basketball IQ. He knows what needs to happen, where to be. His extreme motor might be affecting his precision a bit. I'm happy about this for a rook.

Wonder how good he would be if he was getting 18-22 mins consistently.

They are a whole lot luckier than we are on offensive & defensive rebounds.

Many Rose's layups have been blocked so far today

KGdaBom · Post #94 » by **KGdaBom** » Sun Dec 9, 2018 3:58 am

I wonder what the NBA record is for blocks against. Rose must have at least 5 blocks against already.

Jedzz · Post #95 » by **Jedzz** » Sun Dec 9, 2018 3:58 am

Okogie looks like he just ran a marathon. His lungs are too used to the bench.

Rose is 4/13 so far...atleast 4 of missed shots must have been blocks

Rose is killing us on offense, he's been blocked 4 times at the rim
