I predict shai has his first career 30 point game tonight.

At some point it would be nice if Ferguson would quit looking like a newborn giraffe when he’s on the floor.

Nice passes by Gallo and Adams.
My eyes glaze over when reading alternative stat (not advanced stat) narratives that go many paragraphs long. If you can not make your point in 2 paragraphs it may not be a great point.

I wasn't high on Bazley and still wonder what his potential is but he's showing some great things.

I don’t think he’s a great shooter but I don’t think his shot is broken. He also seems high IQ but just very raw right now. The By next year I bet he looks much less awkward on his drives to the rim.

yeah his drive is so awkward...hope it will change.
Basically Diallo/Bazley/Ferguson have the same issue about driving...feel like Bazley is the one that can improve the most (even if I used to be very high on Diallo)

I don’t normally make predictions and this will be my last time.

I don’t expect Paul to be the player he was 5 years ago but the stupid, careless passes are getting old.

I don't think Billy was aware zone defense was allowed. We literally have no clue what to do against it.

This team is so poorly coached it's beyond fair.

Shai is lost. There's a defender standing in the paint so his drives havenowhere to go and we aren't running anything so there's no pass to be made.

Here's where cp3 really helps, he recognizes what's available so well.

Muscala came to play and CP3 is picking it up in the fourth

Shai with his worst game of the year. Started trying to force things when he got frustrated.

Re: Game 9 OKC VS Golden State Warriors 11/08 8PM CST
That game kind of sucked, especially the second half. Shai has the moves to beat what was thrown at him but he didn’t seem to recognize that you can’t relentlessly drive to the basket. He needs to keep shooting his jumper and three. I get the feeling he doesn't have a ton of confidence in it yet.
Billy not calling a time out during golden states first run is typical. I’m sure he’ll have a detailed explanation explaining why he didn’t feel there was a need. Other than Bazley hitting his threes, there weren’t a ton of positives. We will get smoked by 20 tomorrow night If we play like that.

Chris Paul dialed up some point God play in the fourth. Only really entertaining thing about it.
