Apparently Booker has been battling some illness. That explains why he's looked a bit off.

Yes, it hurts to watch. Oso might be better off working on his mid-range game or his shot near the basket.
To me it looks like he's over doing what the coaches told him about snapping his wrist through the shot. It also could be a drill where they have him over exaggerating a motion to break down what he was doing.

Happy to be wrong about Plumlee. He's been solid so far. He barely looked like an NBA player in the preseason. He is a banger who knows his limitations and plays within himself.

That is what frustrates me most about Nurkic. He has talent and when he's on he is reality good but he tries too much. He's not Jokic and shouldn't try to be. He'd be a 10-15 best.Center in the league if he stuck to playing to his strengths. He's like Jonas Valenciunis with higher BB IQ but he's not physically capable of doing what he envisions. For every great dish or nice floater there are close to a half dozen bad plays. He also needs to get used to his body. He's probably lost 30-40 pounds since coming over from Portland and he.doesn't have the strength or bulk he did before.

Bol Bol is in the doghouse. I wonder what the plan if for Bol since he hasn’t sniffed the court this year.

What's frustrating about Bol Bol situation, is even in spot minutes, you see he makes guys alter their shots, and look to see where he is on drives to the basket. He's the one dude we have that other teams pay attention to on the defensive end. Yet he gets zero minutes. I get minutes are tight, but when we go defense for offense, or just in second unit time, get this guy out there. We are way overplaying our top guys in minutes right right now. Bud has to get them more rest. You have to trust your bench. It's a LONG season.
