Suns made me nervous for a moment.

 

[Covert Rain]

They did a really good job not giving Grayson any shots 2nd half.

We’ve been stuck multiple times this season trying to get past 11 games over .500.

Another opportunity on Saturday… agaibst the best team in the league.

 

[BirdGangThing]

that's game - it wasn't pretty but it wasn't a fire-able offense - is this team frustrating - sure - but do i have a but - not really - they're hard to watch for long stretches and Vogel - he falls asleep at the wheel man - he does his normal thing - other team adjusts and he just keeps doing his normal thing - granted we have a winning record but we're freakin loaded and lifting up couch cushions trying to scrape up enough change to beat the broke ass raptors in our own house man wtff

Lol… my post wasn’t really that positive. I’m not expecting us to be able to get over the 11+ hump.

 

[BirdGangThing]

okay i just seen it - first time all season - when Olynyk knocked Grayson down on the break.... I hope someone can zoom in on the look Grayson gave Olynyk lol pure evil

 

[Muggz]

Any win w/o Book is a good one.

Bol Bol: 11 points tonight

The rest of the bench: 11 points tonight

Bol Bol and Eubanks both had 8 boards tonight - Eubanks has picked it up late in the past 2 games with nurk in foul trouble but come on man - dude is streakier than stripper panties - id much prefer figuring out Nurk's foul issue pronto because teams exploit our weaknesses before the ESPN dogs us about them

The recipe of not losing the 4th qrt battle is to have Beal and Allen handle the ball most of the time, with it landing into KD's hands in a more flowing way most of the time, as what happened in this game. From 2nd qrt on, our defensive attention became not as good and gave up too many open shots, but we returned to tight defense to close the game. Beal's block was huge there, as well as his PG play throughout the game.

Most concerning however was Nurk's off. foul and other TOs. He needs to keep it down, not irritated by guys like Olynik.

 

[BirdGangThing]

Sorry for all the posts tonight - hoping main is back soon

 

[Germz249]

Take it however we can.

 

[Covert Rain]

Any wins we can rack up with Book out is a good win. Some final stats:

Durant: 35 PTS, 3 REB, 1 AST, 1 STL
Allen: 26 PTS, 3 REB, 3 AST, 1 BLK, 8 3PM
Beal: 20 PTS, 8 AST, 2 REB, 1 STL, 1 BLK
Bol: 11 PTS, 8 REB, 1 STL
O’Neale: 10 PTS, 8 REB, 6 AST, 1 STL, 1 BLK
Nurkić: 7 PTS, 14 REB, 5 AST, 2 BLK
Eubanks: 6 PTS, 8 REB, 1 AST, 1 STL, 1 BLK
Gordon: 5 PTS, 2 REB, 1 AST, 1 STL

Good win without BOok

There was nothing good about that performance.

Yeah they won, but that was a bad team they were facing. For a team supposedly ramping up for the playoffs that was not good enough.

They played well without one of their leading scorers, Toronto never led, got out rebounded.This is a team they usually lose too at full strength so dont tell me this isnt a good win especially without Book.

Playing Saben... They never guarded him, dared him to shoot (which he deferred on), then attacked him on defense, and attacked him with ease. He's unplayable as much as Okogie is. He is the best ball handler and can weave in and out of traffic, but once he does, he just defers and gives it up to KD by default.
