Shai just lives in the paint

Adams free throw shooting is getting worse. Diallo is doing some really nice things. It would have been nice to have a player like Gallo the last few years. He’s deadly. Paul looks like how I want to see him playing.

The thunder announcers want to push the idea that Adams is “back” and going to be an integral part of the offense. He’s still very meh.

I was open to the idea of keeping Adams around since he’s only 25 but I’m kind of tired of the inconsistency he brings. I’m sure he’s probably got a good excuse. He looks a little beat up. I like a lot of what he brings when he actually brings it but I’m ready for some consistency at the position.

We played well the first half. I’m starting to come around on the idea of more minutes for Diallo and less for Ferguson. Diallo is showing some stuff to be more than just a transition player. It’s perplexing how incapable ferguson is on offense.

Shai was good but the spurs did a good job making things tough. Nice to still see him out up good numbers when it didn’t seem like his night. Shai and Murray would be a nice backcourt in my dream scenario where pop gets impatient and trades him.

Gallo was great and Paul was very good. Dennis seemed to defer early on but went in full tank commander mode in the second half. He’s the tank commander this franchise needs but not the one we deserve.

Let's be real, with five years of bil'doh he's exactly the one we deserve.

Shai's BPM is exactly the same as Russ's right now.

Great team loss tonight guys. It looked like it was going to get close down the stretch but we dug deep found a way to miss a few more shots and wiff on defensive assignments and we really gutted out that loss in the end good work.
