Bouk could at least pretend like he wants to play tonight.

Then he hits a 3 at the buzzer.

Going to end up having dreams about toilet wipes. Seen that commercial 10 times since I turned the game on.

Kai is so damn long.
To not only get that offensive rebound but to also put back dunk it all in one motion is just crazy.

His wingspan is "only" 7'1, but it looks like it's 7'6 out there.

Did you see that close out and blocked 3PA he had in the 2nd?
Amazing closing speed and length to block it in that way.

If he can figure out a corner 3 he will be the next Tony Allen. I have very high hopes for him.

Re: Greensboro Swarm: The G-League Thread
Was able to catch a little of the Swarm tonight. A few thoughts:
If I were to give Bouknight some advice for the summer...dribble. That's all you do through the hot months, son. Dribble.
Thor is going to be really good once he realizes he's really good. Lots to work on, just like Jones, but he'll make some money in this league.
I don't know what a Blue Coats is, except that thing they make you put on before going into a fancy restaurant. I thought mascots were supposed to be scary or intimidating or something. Blazers may have been a keener name. That said, Braxton key is keeper. I like Paul Reed a lot, too.
Nice to see Kai Jones work. Agree that he has a long way to go, though.
Who on this team is the big dog? Bouknight tried, but he always seems to look like he's moving through thick air. An alpha needs to emerge from this group.

Crutcher to McGriff just did their very best Ball to Bridges impersonation.

Yeah the box score from last night is pretty wild.
That, plus only being able to dress 9 guys at this juncture of the season really is a head scratcher. Not sure how you can possibly justify it.

Re: Greensboro Swarm: The G-League Thread
Uhhhhhh Jalen Crutcher had a 24-13-11 triple double on good shooting and Scottie Lewis had 28 points on frickin' 13-14 shooting. How about a few call ups so we can actually dress a full roster of players??

Re: Greensboro Swarm: The G-League Thread
i think Crutcher is a free agent, but there is nothing stopping us from giving him a 10 day. Scottie Lewis would be handy to look at just for defensive purposes.
But instead, we've gone for the "name". Like how we were linked to Westbrook.

With Oubre and McD playing so well it will be impossible to find time for these two.
