They'd better not take their foot off the gas for even a second if they want to win this game. They've finally scored some momentum and have the fans engaged. Losing either at this point will be a deal breaker.

I'd rather see Jock play guard than watch Shamet

Those guys have gotten like 10 minutes combined all series. Hard to say they've even gotten a chance

It's because Craig has an impact with the second unit and Monty actually gives him regular minutes, while okogie isn't as adept with the second unit and Monty doesn't give him any minutes

Okogie just doesn't have the size to defend Kawhi, and KD guarding him full time is asking for foul trouble. Okogie will end up playing the second most minutes off the bench at this rate anyways. Craig is playing really well.

Nice to see Suns playing defense.

I hope not, so far 9 minutes with zero contribution offensively but he can defend though. He hasn’t taken a shot yet so that’s fine maybe he’ll hit a few threes tonight.

Scott Foster getting a hard on with this crowd gaining energy. Man loves nothing more than sucking the energy out of the building like a dementor.

And we all know the reason why: Monty Williams has the wood for Shamet for some strange reason.

He got his eyes fixed or so the commercials say, but you'd never know it based on what he's shown us.

Craig is playing well, but Okogie is just a better fit with the starters, both offensively and defensively.

Craig is the better shooter, but in terms of actually creating gravity, he's not particularly superior to Okogie at the 3 point line. They're both left open in the same manner. Okogie's advantage he's he's a far better ball-handler and passer, and is actually decent at attacking the closeout.

You can even use Okogie as a ball-handler or a screener, which you can't with Craig since he can't handle or pass.

As a defender, Craig has more length to bother Kawhi, but Okogie is far far better at screen navigation and actually denying penetration.

Craig is shooting 40% from 3 on the season, Okogie is shooting 33%. That's a pretty big difference. I don't want either of them trying to create much on offense either way.

Agree to disagree on Okogie guarding Kawhi, that's a mismatch to me though.

Kawhi is so freaking good man

sunsbg · Post #334 » by **sunsbg** » Wed Apr 19, 2023 3:29 am

Man, how can you waste 18s to setup any kind of halfcourt play. Bad coaching.

RedIndian · Post #335 » by **RedIndian** » Wed Apr 19, 2023 3:29 am

Book needs to be taking 7 threes a game. We can't be losing the 3P battle so badly.

kennydorglas · Post #336 » by **kennydorglas** » Wed Apr 19, 2023 3:30 am

SHOOT 3's
ITS NOT FORBIDDEN YET

Not to jinx him, but Torrey is awesome.

We are lucky Clips havent deployed the Westbrook postup on Paul.
