An early game on TV. Nice. Halfway through the season so let's see if this team starts playing with more urgency. Booker specifically starts playing better around ASG. Moving Beal to the bench has contributed too. First chance to see how Richards fits with the team.

I wonder how many of the players will be going to the Lions/Commanders game and if they will show them.

Dunn on fire while doing a full court press on Cade. What a steal.
KD must have 4to by now.

KD is so horrible at dribbling and passing. That’s what happens when you practice shooting your entire life, but neglect other drills on the court.

Richards going after the board. He didn't grab it but prevented the piston from getting it like Mason, Oso, or Nurk would have done.

Nick looking pretty good compared to Oso who's not really a C with his 0 rim protection.

KD is high. No other explanation for his play so far which included a missed layup.

KD is so overrated. If he’s not scoring he’s a bum on the court.

What a difference having an athletic big is. Bud should let Richards play the entire second half because both Oso and Plumlee are useless.

KD starts making shots and we'll pull away. Book heading for another 30pt game.
We need another center, so we never have to play Nurk, Mason, and to a lesser extent, Oso (spot minutes) again

A competitive game as expected between middle tier teams. Bookies odds were equal before the game. Booker's continuing his high scoring stretch. KD's been terrible.
Nick Richards was a fresh air in first half. Nice finishing and challenged a lot of shots. Hopefully he can manage to play 25-30mins as a starter.

Beal out again? Richards imposing his will on the game.
