It is one game, even a bronny james has a good game once in a while too.

Best game yet. He's still only a bit player until he learns how to shoot.
I get it. But he does so many other things well, and he doesn't try to shoot it when its not there.

I looked at his shot chart. He has not taken any shots this year outside of the key or above the free throw line. Yikes.

However, the team seems to play well when he is on the floor. Better than with Richards, but not as well as with Williams.

Yeah, I'm more disappointed that Maluach isn't getting any minutes behind two #3 centers...I don't see Oso or Richards being any better than that for various reasons.

I infrequently watched the show, now not at all, since Gerald Bourguet and Lindsey Smith are gone.

I really watched when they were all there; sal, gerald, espo and lindsey. Then I stopped this year after march when people were let go and moved to other shows.
And I can't stand erik ruby, but now I really have no choice as the their show is the longest which makes it the best to listen to them while on the road since i drive a bit every week.

He finally showed something. It was awesome to watch but I am not going to get excited about one game. I still don't see any game outside of 5 feet from the basket which isn't going to give him a ton of minutes in this league. Hopefully, this game is a steppingstone.

Yes, he was quite good tonight as well.

His free throw no longer looks like a disaster either. He is now playable as a center.
2-2 last night! I was way too excited that he made the first one let alone both.

He had a nice floater from about 8ft out. That's another crucial piece to keep working on for him to take the next step.
You mean the forwards leaning quick push shot? That's ugly. He always has to rush it making it a low % one unless wide open. His only chance to stay long in NBA is to abandon it for regular hook shots, fallaway jumpers, finger rolls.

props to oso for his stellar 2 point performance in the win against the warriors - homie was crazy last night - some could call it illegal defense but he isn't just bouncing between 2 guys - he's playing the ball off ball - anticipating what the ball handlers intentions are so he's bouncing between guys and taking up space in the paint and passing lanes - it deterred a lot of golden state offense from ever starting - and oso was tracking the ball for rebounds - getting it out fast - it was one helluva 2 pt performance

The guy does a lot of things really well... except scoring. I know he's sort of a punching bag on here, but he brings a lot to the table, especially in the eye test.
word - oso was a -12 on the +/- last night

mark williams was a +12

but ott stayed with oso
