Scoring. Ideally we have an athletic C surrounded by shooters...we know they can also iso as well, which is a plus if they don't overdo it.
Would be nice if Oso could turn into Amare 2.0.
OK, that might be a lot to ask for.
Oso does seem to be our best rim deterrent though in this extremely small sample size (I know Amare didn't do that...just noting it).
I think he's closer to Diaw minus the post game and 3pt shooting.

Clippers arent going to lose the home opener in their new building. Not with all these Suns turnovers and mindlessness.
Basketball is and always has been a game of runs. In this 3PT era, 10, 15 and even 20pt leads could evaporate on anyone

Oh, man. I hope Budenholzer isn't counting on or expecting Nurkic to be even remotely decent from range out there. If it's not a straight on, it's not going in or looking decent.

We don't need Nurkic shooting too many 3s. The only guy with more attempts is Allen.

This is bad. And that's being kind.

I don't see that. Diaw was like a big PG...awesome court vision. He didn't shoot the 3 that well. He had a couple good seasons.
Oso is good all around aside the 3 though. He is a solid rebounder, smart player, and is a pretty good passer, and gets blocks and steals. He averaged 1.5 and 1.3 bpg his last two years in college and 1.1 steals his last year.

Re: Game 1: Phoenix Suns @ LA Clippers | Wednesday, 23 Oct | 7:00PM
Feels like our game completely changed. Went from swinging it around the 3pt line, to people getting it and then driving for a short shot, or trying to pass inside. Not working.
It's like they stick with the game plan they were probably coached to death on and by the 2nd half revert to their tendencies.

Dang, we are struggling with a Kawhi-less Clippers ball club, aren't we?

Glad they don't have Kawhi. And George.
Westbrook even played great against us.

We'd be down 20 if that were the case.

Kind of weird we only have 1 player with more than 2 made baskets.

Our stars just let us down. So many careless turnovers by our best players. Still a problem from last year
