Game #27 | Thunder @ Cavs | Dec. 10, 2022

[KilgoreTrout]

I miss JA's massive fro from last season.

It certainly WAS MAJESTIC…

Y

Your also more stagnant on offense. Neto, Cedi and Okoro shit up the joint in the second half.

Neto should be playing much more than he is.

 

[ICWakefield]

When Neto is in, he hands the ball off to a wing or DG, and then goes to stand in the corner while his man completely ignores him and doubles the guy Neto just handed the ball to. JBB played DG, Okoro, and Neto last night and it was so predictable: 3 guys on DG, turnover.

Neto can score. I Washington fans liked him but complained he was an under-sized 2 with a good handle. The coach had asked him to score. I'm pretty sure he's doing exactly what the coaching staff asks of him.

 

[Benway]

Okoro’s a weird dude. Same pose every time.

They might be photo-shopping the same still into the shot every time-- you know, just like they keep photoshopping that still into the actual Games.

We don't have that kind of staff here in Cleveland right now.

His power comes from his hair. He is like Samson.

Can someone explain to me how SGA is allowed to bait and jump directly into players?

I thought the NBA was cracking up on that move? (I clearly remember Love being called for an offensive foul earlier this year, and his move was nowhere as egregious as what SGA does.)

Anyways, I’m not impressed with SGA. Seems like he needs the refs to give him some very preferential treatment for half his points. Way too many FTs.

He also pushes off with his off arm almost every time around the paint. All the OKC guys either pushed off or hooked on drives. A few times it got called, maybe one foul for every 4 or 5 times it happened.

He played like a PG last year. Don't know what changed

He doesn’t have his full peripheral vision back from his swollen eye yet and doesn’t have the spacing he had last year. He’s been playing with that eye issue the entire year and every time it gets close to better he gets whacked in the face again.

Trae Young plays the same way. It’s infuriating.

Do you know if he's considering getting goggles/glasses? It just seems like the best move right now since everyone seems to be "inadvertently" going after his face.

Yup, noticed that too.

This is not fun basketball to watch. What fan wants to see the same 2-3 cheat moves on repeat?

I mean they make stuff to prevent that.

If he's not gonna wear it because he doesn't like it, even after being injured, then he kinda owns the resulting issues from it happening again.

Lotta excuse making for his poor play lately.

He’s like James Harden, Jr.! An affront to the game!
