I truly believe JJ is a mutant with teleportation powers.

JJ is a menace on defense...his recovery even after mistakes...special.

It wasn't was JC was doing on defense that sent him packing. It's what he wasn't doing.....ie all that.

Again...confused between DJ and Kobe  

The new twinsees haircut made it hard.

This D is like Christmas.

Engage Alpha mode activated.

He showed more personality in that moment than 1000 Nate folded arms death stares.

LOL at Q. Stern look at Mo G after that pass but can't hold it and cracks a smile.

Braves elimination game starts in 10 min.

Ya'll staying here or going to watch the Braves get bounced?

Staying

Gueye forcing things. Bufkin looking like a 19 tear old in the 3td quarter.

Ugly shot by Bufkin there. Forced it.

What is wrong with AJ and OO? 

I think they're struggling to adapt to the new system. Seem out of rhythm.

Shot attempts from the starters 3/4/6/7/8.  That's pretty balanced.

It's preseason and only 1 half but did we hold anyone to under 50 points in the 1st half last year?

What are we watching? This ain't the Hawks

Facts!

I forgot what all coaches on the same page looks like. Totally different look subbing in/out and bench work.  I'm watching weird crap tonight.

I was gonna say that. He looked like he felt disrespected on that 3.

Some missed shots jipping people of assists, but this is some very different offense. Saw a few off ball screens, some slashing to move the defense off the 3 pt line.  Our defense challenging off ball movement instead of just chasing it.

Defensively, it's been hit or miss so far. 

Some active hands thus far.

I feel like he went from a 20/10 guy excited about where things were going to someone who was basically told on offense to stand outside and function as an outlet shooter while Trae and Clint ran the pick and roll.  I didn't see the same degree of degradation on defense you did (actually think he improved in some respects there after CC's arrival) but I am sure he felt marginalized and that it led to him disengaging and disappearing at times the last year or two.  It will be interesting because I've got lots of questions for how he fits in Utah.  (Like, a lineup with him at center and with Lauri at PF is not real big and strong. That could struggle on the boards and with rim protection, etc.)

Its just one season and a lot of factors go into it, I know.  But 1.7 PP/100 possessions better on defense. Its  hard to explain and is all subjective but stats do back up his defense had regressed.

2020-21

2021-22

2022-23

His 2020-21 numbers to 22-23 is a crazy drop-off.

We got worse as a team which is adding to it but the defense regressed.

I can't believe I'm this excited to watch a preseason game.

This is ironically pretty ignorant @sturt. @AHF is being quite lenient. As @JeffS17 said it ain't up to you and it doesn't take a high school English essay to get the point.

Let's look at Intent. I dont think he intended to offend. I'd say let this go and move past it. Bigger fish to fry out there.

Am I the only one that thinks Okongwu is a bad ass name and doesn't beg a nickname?
