Kia Center, Orlando
TV: FanDuel Sports/TNT - 6:00 PM
Held the bucks to under 100 points, forced 19 turnovers, Bucks only shot 43% from the field. You going to win most nights in the NBA when you hold an opponent too those numbers. Offense was just bad. Also interested in seeing the over all numbers of minutes played. Mark really went I feel too a playoff rotation. Wiggins didn't play much. Joe had 19, Caruso 24, Wallace 23 and the 15 for Kendrich and 16 for Mitchell will probably go too Chet. I-Hart, Chet, Dort, SGA, JDub, bench of Carusco, Wallace, Joe . Really only need 8 come playoff time. 9 is good Wiggins/Kenrich could be the 9 or Trade and get another playmaker/shooter.
We are 19th in the league in 3 point % this season but last night was ugly to watch.
Chet would have made a big difference as well on Giannis in the paint.
We're going to have off nights but the ice cold shooting is a bit of a concern when you look at overall field goal percentage and 3 p % as a whole this season- we are way down there in the league.
Bench Points too me is the biggest issues. Isaiah Joe will come off the bench when Chet is back but we had 9 bench points vs the Bucks and I Think we had 14 points the night before vs the Rockets. We don't have a guarantee 10-15 point every night bench scorer. Joe can be up and down. Caruso is up and down also Wallace. We need someone coming off the bench that can create their own shots and give us 10-15 points every night not every other night like our current role players.
Reminds me, didn't we hire a shooting guru a couple years ago? Some guy that had worked with the Spurs and others, and was regarded as the best shooting coach in the league?
I think the Cup Final was an anomaly since we shot so horribly. But it shows how much we need Chet. Without I-Hart that was a 40 point loss.
Also why is Wiggins just nowhere to be found anymore? He can score. Ajay Mitchell looks to be our most assertive bench guy, which is wild.
If we shot our average of 35% from three last night we win the game. Bad shooting night. Lots of missed open looks.
Where's the best place to look for single game tickets? Going to use them as a Christmas present for my daughter.
I've looked at seetgeek, stubhub & ticketmaster.
Ticketmaster and there is a group on FB that vets ticket sellers, you can usually get better deals there because both seller and buyers are avoiding fees.
Also I have seen this at Costco: https://www.costco.com/nba-oklahoma-...000324378.html
Two tickets in 300 section with 20 food voucher for 80 bucks. Not a terrible deal and lets them pick a game. (Sections 305–312 & 320–327, Rows G-R)
Team valuation is listed at 3.55 billion per Sportico: https://www.sportico.com/feature/nba...st-1234697991/

Oklahoma City Thunder @ Miami Heat
Kaseya Center , Miami
TV: FanDuel/Bally Sports Oklahoma - 7:00 PM
https://x.com/ThunderChats/status/18...v5_7vW9mQ&s=19. Not sure if anything will happen but I think we are looking. Once again we had a bad third quarter yesterday versus Orlando. It's a tough call because we may not be having any of these scoring droughts with Chet.
