Lol, so they called it off on Charlotte at first, then overturned it, then we challenged to get it changed back and no longer have a challenge. Modern NBA, folks.

As much attention KD is getting tonight, can we just appreciate DBook's superstar performance tonight?

Drysdale: "He does a great job of using his legs and elevating"

"Booker hits nothing but net here" - Drysdale as they show a replay with the ball doing a couple full spins around the rim.

I’m watching Warren off-ball on defense and he certainly doesn’t seem lost defensively at all and is more active on that end than Wainwright.

Kind of strange seeing Booker, Ayton and TJ playing together.

So KD reached his minutes for the night ?

Can't believe they gave us Drysdale for this game

I personally prefer using my arms to jump.

Book is going to be fine

I'm more interested in whether Ayton can learn to take advantage of his new role. He's got all the skills but if he can learn to cut and get to the right spots on the floor he can shoot 70%+

Well, he IS shooting 70% tonight. 16 boards and 4 ast too, so not bad.

Did Ayton and Warren play together before or was Ayton drafted after T.J was traded?

Nevermind, got my answer from Lilfishi.

Close to KD in height and beard. Nice swap though.

The aggressiveness on the boards has been great to see.

They played together a bit. In Ayton's rookie year TJ played about half the season then got injured and then traded for a Suns pick (outgoing) in the offseason.

Lol, Drysdale rubbing (one) off on K-Ray. He just said Durant was done for the night when he's in the game.
