oso again with the insane +/- (goody too)

game changes when he comes on the floor - other team's benches can't handle it

excellent game. the first quarter seemed like an extension of the prior game with us getting killed with size (and, of course those 3's). The rest of the game was played hard by both sides. Reminded me of the energy and effort of college ball. Says a lot about these guys and the coach with Booker and Green on the bench and Brooks having a poor offensive night.

We baited Portland with our early first quarter work to make them think drop coverage is perfect against a team that can't hit the broad side of a barn.

Rope-a-doped 'em. ;)

On some nights, Grayson Allen is a version of Devin Booker, part 2.

With how often a single poster will call someone out here and then they turn it on in the game, it makes you wonder if we live in a simulation.

Invariably, calling out a player in the game always seems to get them going.

Goodwin, Oso and Gillespe dragged this team to a win.

I don't want to disparage Williams, he got a lot of lob baskets and a few good stops, but we dominated the Oso minutes.

The team is really good, it is deep and guys, mostly, know their roles. We've got a defensive rebounding problem that I am not sure how to address. It is our only real weakness, but I don't know how we can address it without substantially diminishing something else.

Brooks, offensively, when Booker isn't out there is often crazy bad. But, I don't know how you fix that... what makes Brooks great at what he is great at is also the same reason he takes a lot of really bad shots. He reeeeeeeally needs to shoot less, he should be a hot/cold guy on offense.

This is rough. Im getting texts from a friend rubbing it in each team Camara does something positive. I still hate James Jones for allowing his inclusion in the Ayton deal.
Don't forget, we got Allen. Ball game!

He should've sold it, but in a weird way, despite how often he flops, if he REALLY gets smacked, he is unwilling to sell it.

He's such a character. If this was almost anyone else, it gets reviewed as a hostile act, especially if it is Brooks on the other end, and rightfully so. I was shocked the play where Brooks got a legit rebound, passed it and in the same motion bulldozed the guy trying to box him out and got called for a foul, it was unnecessary and really obvious, that could have been so much worse, especially since almost every stop in play during the first half featured a montage of Brooks yelling at a ref.

Most nights, he's great, I love it, but some nights... yikes. He is Raja Bell turned up to 11.
