hope SGA has a better game

SGA looks scared.

Playing at such a fast pace is nice if the goal is to lose the game.

I still maintain he’s getting to his spots, he’s just not experienced enough to make the right shot selection.

having a lot of fun watching Bazley and Diallo. I'm not very high on them but they are doing everything they can and it's a lot of fun.

I’m much higher on Bazley. He’s shot isn’t broken. He’s pretty capable on wide open shots. Diallo’s ceiling is much lower, in my opinion but his improvement on the defensive end is encouraging.

Diallo's shot is broken but fortunately he seems to have some self-awareness to him. Rather than settle for jumpers he actually runs the floor and moves without the ball.

I haven't looked at the stats but the eye test says he's probably one of OKC's best finishers at the rim.

Man, I LOVE what SGA just did there at the end of the half.

Rather than play hero ball and hoist up a low-percentage long jump shot, he put his head down and got to the rim for the foul.

I wish more NBA players would do that.

One thing I’ve noticed is he doesn’t always try to rip the rim off the backboard despite being the reigning slam dunk champion. He’s pretty smart around the basket.

Really hope we can trade Gallo for a 2020 FRP.

SGA, Bazley, Diallo, Ferg and 3 FRP next year (one top 5 or 10 at least I hope) will be a lot of fun

CP3 having a very good second quarter after struggling in the first.

I think it will happen but I’m strongly leaning towards believing it won’t be Portland.

Billy Donovan’s third quarters really are something else.

Post #14 » by **ThunderBolt** » Sat Nov 23, 2019 2:51 am

I disagree with the notion that SGA is a bad passer.

Post #15 » by **ThunderBolt** » Sat Nov 23, 2019 3:57 am

Not getting a 3pa on the second to final possession when LAL elected no not foul is very questionable.

Hope Diallo is ok. Odd play. I’m guessing that was the elbow he had surgery on?

Nice to see Adams kind of resemble the Adams of old but he still looked really slow.

I don’t like schroder but I can get emotionally invested in cheering for him when rondo is on the other end.

Overall it wasn’t a bad game. We had some good performances and still held serve in the tank battle.

They keep losing these close games to the best teams. They have really competed against the Lakers, Clippers, Bucks and 76ers.

Not even just during play. He checked in during the third quarter and shuffled to the court like he would have rather been anywhere else in the world.

Noticed he was still riding the bike I believe it was when Diallo ran to the locker room.
