Ayton's stats have taken a hit. Is Portland's guard play that bad?

He seems disinterested to me - started out fine and quickly seem to fade into background &/or injury.

I love the skill & body but seems he may not love playing.

Loved seeing Julius, Jalen & team make what looked like a concerted effort to look for OG - something I thought they did not do against Wiz.

Also - did Deuce sub in earlier than normal tonight or am I imagining that?

Look at this passing and movement. This is a dream for me. Passing, movement and defense is all I ever wanted.

This! Though I’d also like to meet some of Todd cheerleaders.

Brogdon would be great pick-up regardless how well Deuce may play short-term.

Brogdon is gamer and could lead bench group - sometimes maybe along with Deuce + cheaper vs D Murray

Is it those meaty meaty thighs or calfs? His legs like tree trunks

Or maybe you a shoulder guy?

Strange things happening since the "we will never lose another game" comment.

This should fix things.

Something about the female body - more specifically an NBA cheerleader body.

Precious does look sketch but think I prefer his potential over Sims - think Sims has missed his opportunity.

I watched Portland feed - will have to watch Gus.Clyde tomorrow.

Portland announcers weren’t even looking at scoreboard but at one point they were talking about new Spolstra contract and Lamar Hurd said I’m not even sure how many we are down but about the size of Spolstra’s contract.

Not sure if this has been mentioned, or what to make of it (though i suppose it’s some form of secret code), but…

OG plays the 3 and his name is 3 letters off from RJ.

OG length and core strength gets him to loose balls and rebounds. Bit like Josh. Josh is foot speed is higher but these guys get in there and make things happen. RJ and IQ are offensive minded. not too diminish either talent to defend. both were capable and showed it in their careers. OG and Josh are wired different.

Og does have some very strong legs. he gets the ball under the basket its in. RJ got blocked.
different games and attributes. RJ is a more polished finisher and this year took it up a notch using a softer touch at the rim.
OG might still be more of a force on offense than has shown. Different games, different players and knicks needed what he brings!

Funny but Toronto seems to be also benefitting from what RJ and IQ are bringing to its team.

These are my favorite games to watch! Blowouts with no stress! And having Clyde, who was HILARIOUS, and Gus call it made it even better.

Very happy to see both Deuce and Grimes play well. They are taking full advantage of the opportunity! Combined 8/16 from three and Grimes even had 3 FT's!

I have to admit I was wrong about OGA. I always thought he was overrated because of his stats and lack of offensively skill but he plays winning basketball and has fixed our defense.

You're in for a treat! I don't think Clyde has ever been funnier!

Brogdan **** the bed in his job interview last night but you have to look at the entire resume. He'd be a great addition and his contract is also attractive for a future trade. I just don't want to send Deuce back to the end of the bench. He's playing so well!
