It's why I keep saying they need to be willing to go more into the high post and run their sets out of it with Nurk when the "stand around the 3pt line" is sucking ass.

Should've done it more in the Raps game too. If someone would freaking cut to the hoop in it they'd get even more open looks.

Still sceptical reminds me of earlier games when Durant gets gassed after a close 3 quarters

Well... at least it's under 10 going into the final quarter.

Durant missed his last 4.

Probably needs another 4-5 minutes rest.

Be looking for some shooters can make some 3s as I don't think the bench lineup has the craft inside.

Gordon, Allen, Little, Bates Diop let it fly.

He had a wide open look and him missing is how it goes sometimes. It would have been pretty huge had he hit it though.

It looked to me like Okogie deflected the ball of Jackson's legs.I'm not sure about the rules, but I thought that should've been a backcourt violation!?

With each and every game in which he plays, Allen solidifies his value to the team and makes clear how integral he has become to it.

Gordon and Allen feast or famine 3 minutes here

I wish Bol Bol could become a Javale McGee type. We could use a lob threat.

Good effort to stay within 2, Durant hasn't been able to close these games solo so he'll need help, rebounding looks key given both teams are missing more

At least it's been entertaining.

I hate this post.

I'm not saying you're wrong. But I hate it.

I will not budge from my position of **** Grayson Allen.

Holiday's another guy that seems to hit every jump shot when he plays the Suns.I remember him burning the Suns in game when he was with the Pacers.Every time he shoots, I expect it to go in.So frustrating when it's a scrub player doing it to you.

..... and this is the type of game where you need your superstar to take over in clutch time.

Can we swap Josh and KBD's body types?

Mulhollanddrive · Post #98 » by **Mulhollanddrive** » Sat Dec 2, 2023 5:14 am

Durant 0 of last 7 needs to find shooters seen this ending before

Clear as day shooting foul on Durant. These officials are trash.
