Barkley was a great passer and was quick n could dribble- ayton is none of that.

what has Booker done to Murray? stealing his girlfriend?

Yeah, 33% from the field, and Oubre, despite the highlight plays that will make people think he is awesome, is shooting 38% overall and 30% from 3....on 10 shots from 3...those are all killers.

Started off well, but cooled off big time.

Can only expect Ayton, a 2nd year player who has played 94 games or so in the NBA. Will probably be our best player soon.

so dumb. Jokic is allowed to elbow his way down low with the ball but the defender cant put a hand on them

It's the way the games are called now. Can't touch the offensive player, every shot is semi-open, so fans can see more pts.

Wow did anyone catch what Ayton yelled to Book on that open Murray layup?

Murray was out before tonight? Of course he comes back tonight. I think we will bounce back from this and then after the all star break and everyone getting the break and Ayton being able to play with the other best 1 or 2 year players might help him too....and of course hopefully getting Baynes back as well as Saric, Jerome, and Kaminsky not long after that.

yup sadly the trend in all major sports. my issue is the lack of consistency. The number of fouls isnt even the problem. It just feels like whenever we start to get momentum there is some ticky tack bs that kills it

That was a ridiculous flop by jokic which neuters aytons defense the rest of the game, any touch and hes done.

I'm actually surprised they didn't post up jokic more.

thank you mcd for not drafting the obviously better player.

Post #213 » by **bwgood77** » Sun Feb 9, 2020 4:20 am

Why didn't they hard foul Murray a couple times. Could have done it a couple of times. Even if it's a tech. I mean a really hard foul. They need to watch some old Bad Boy Pistons games. Ayton should watch a little Bill Laimbeer.

good that he did, it was all Booker's fault.

booker is not what some try to advertise.
he is a good offensive player, but not smart and clutch as some like to say.

One of Bookers worst games....Wish they'd run more plays for Ayton when Kelly & Book are struggling

he's been back for two games I think.

Booker missed shots, turnovers, in crunch time. Just got away with another TO, typical performance.

What did he say?

Murray always slaughters us. He seems to hate Rubio for some reason, always talking trash to him.

Is Jokic the Best C in the NBA?
