What happened to the good luck charms? Go Suns tonight.

Poor 3pt defense meets the 3pt fetishists. Oh well.

All i hope for is that we play "the right way". Smart, hard, defensively minded. If you are Booker tonight, do not get into an ego battle vs. Harden as in "you made a crazy shot now i'll try to top it". I think theres a 30-40% chance to steal this one if guys hit better than lately, especially Ricky and Saric need to have an outstanding shooting night. I think they'll plan to take Booker out of the equation so first of all he has to give up the ball quick and precisely and then the other guys have to make their open shots.

We haven't been great lately with good luck charms. Without them we might compete and pull out a W.

That breaks my heart. Good news is russ will probably lose his mind playing against Rubio.

Maybe Ayton comes back before Baynes, who knows.
I expect Capella will break his rebounds record.
All the odds are against us.
Let's do what we can.

You guys... just 5 more games including this one and we get Ayton back. A very difficult stretch going against the Rockets, Wolves, Grizzlies, Spurs, and Blazers. I know it's a tall order, but if we can win 2 of the next 5, we'll be in good shape to possibly making the playoffs.

Westbrook missing a lot of threes? He will shooting 4/5 tonight

Looks like Capela will have his first 30 rebound game of his career.

Just let russ shoot

Oubre decision making for the moment has been really bad. Contested 3, open 3 that he didnt take and went inside against 3 defenders and not passing to an open Dario in the inbounds.

Great start! We need the bench to keep the focus and intensity

Damn Saric. why can't you ball like this at least in half the games?

Saberestar · Post #20 » by **Saberestar** » Sun Dec 8, 2019 1:28 am

It's a joy to watch Book shooting threes. Perfect form.

Hardens point count
