Hopefully the players remember not to drive inside much if Whiteside is in there...unless you have a good play he can't block. I remember a nice reverse from Ricky in the last one, and I thought I remembered a nice bank shot from Booker but if he wasn't playing I guess that's not possible.

No. Actually she gave the tickets to someone else on FB and he said he didn’t have anyone else to go with on short notice so he invited me.

Ayton playing gives me a reason to watch. No one else has the potential to transform the destiny of this franchise.

Well his defense is a must to place us as a playoff contender, but we do have other players who can help. I think we have a lot of the right type of role players. I just hope they get Ayton going. Don't want to see 3 people taking more shots than Ayton. The only guy I might be ok with taking more shots is Booker, but no one else. Hopefully Rubio feeds him. Booker isn't great at it and should NEVER attempt passes through traffic, and of course Oubre rarely passes. Bridges is good at finding him though...I think his long arms help get it over the defense.

Edit: Just saw Ayton's not starting. I kind of like that. I think him, Bridges and Cam will have some nice chemistry off the bench. Maybe Okobo too if he plays...I know those guys that got drafted together spend a lot of time together practicing on the court and just sort of have a bond.
