We will see how we fair with Williams playing center now.

4 whopping minutes for Richards and 20 for Oso against the warriors...SMDH
Both had 2 pts, and 1 asst. Oso had 5 rebounds and Richards 0.

Get Williams the ball, he should see a steady point production of 15-20 a night.

ott talked about oso and dunn in the second half and how they figured out what the warriors were doing on offense - and how they helped us make a couple runs - that's why they were in there

it is all oso funny to me - so deja vu too - ott likes oso better than richards in most scenarios - this is why oso gets minutes at center by himself

when ott does have richards in at center he likes to have oso in there to TO HELP OUT WITH DEFENSE because oso is fast and long and has the high basketball iq richards doesn't

you don't need 5 guys with a jumpshot on the floor at all times - 3 point shooters don't have to dunk and dunkers don't have to shoot from outside - you need a balance of offense and defense

get used to oso lol

Jalen Green is PROBABLE versus the Clippers.

Dillon Brooks is OUT.

I am not impressed with Oso whatsoever. I don't really see any progression. If he isn't cleaning something up or next the basket he is pretty useless offensively. Oso should not get off the bench unless the two guys in front of him are in foul trouble. I know he is still young and learning but I just don't see much there. Maybe there is still some potential but I don't see anything out of him that says he should be playing ahead of the guys in front of him. At least not yet.

What is curious, is Jordan Ott's insistence on playing him. I'm not sure if it is a lack of NBA ready depth at the 4/5 or the energy and effort he brings.

I have to agree on Oso, I thought I did see some improvement in summer league, but he has been pretty awful as of late. I really don't see what he is bringing to the table that Richards or Maluach couldn't do just as well or better.

Ball handling and passing as well as high basketball IQ.

Through 8 games Oso's numbers are, overall, worse than last season's stats.

Both Jalen Green and Grayson Allen look to play.

The way the Suns played against Warriors game left a bad taste in my mouth. I do not want to see it again this season.

It's not a matter of winning or losing for me. It's how they play.

Don't know, I missed it too. My best guess is P&R ate him alive. It does that every now and then, no matter where we fall on the political spectrum.

It happened on the Cardinals forum.
