Their lineup really isn't much better without Haliburton. They are tough with him but without him, McConnell is ok, but really their shooting could suffer if Hield doesn't get on fire. Or Turner.

Bridges may be the best player on the floor.

If we can get hot shooting I think we have a pretty good chance, even with Ayton out in addition to everyone else.

Just need Bridges to score a lot again and one other guy to step up.

Ayton out with "illness" sounds suspect just days after a report surfaced that Ishbia is involved with the team leading up to the trade deadline.

It's nice to have a great 3rd string C as Biyombo, he has played great in the first quarter.

It's gonna be difficult to win this one but the team is playing hard and Mikal is getting better as our go-to guy. I have hope, we will need more points from Landale and Washington.

Saben Lee should be starting and Washington Jr is a 2 guard about time they stopped trying to turn him into a pg

Ayton taking another break when he should be playing.

Dude needs to go. Hopefully, if Jones is smart, he'll be shopping him for a better fit.

This lineup with Bridges at pg is not good

Mikal has been awesome as of late. Can’t wait to see him with Booker back. I’ve been really impressed with him as our go to guy.

Yeah Mikal, that's the way.

Biyombo's play is what Ayton should play like every night: Hard, effort filled minutes. They need to quit messing around with these one year minimum deals for him and pay the man for what he's shown each season.

He's out with an illness.

I get he doesn't always play hard but would you have him out there trying to play through a flu possibly infecting teammates?

Ayton is showing he isn't willing to die for his teammates. He's selfish! :banghead:

Okogie is giving us a lot of good stuff tonight, that mask is working well.

With him on the lineup we have two POA defenders that create havoc and are scoring well enough on offense.

Honestly? Yeah, I would. Your opinion may vary.

Probably just worth ignoring these types of comments. You will likely just get nonsensical responses.

Edit: I rest my case.

I stand by what I said in Jones. If Ayton really is THAT sick, fine, let him sit. Biyombo is playing plenty fine in his absence anyway.

Interesting the 92-93 team went to the locker room before they came out to talk to guys on the team..hopefully it pumped them up.

Okogie has been a fun surprise this season. I enjoy his energy and how he just barrels into the paint on offense. If only he could launch 3s he'd be a $20 million a year player.
