Pretty sure their coach sold blue meth on Breaking Bad.
OKORO BITCHES
holy shit. Guys. I'm pacing the floor right now. I need a xanax
Why the **** is ant taking the last shot? Wtf were we doing? Lucky win
What and effing final possession. Guys fighting their asses off for boards and Samir finding Okoro underneath the bucket.
Rather be lucky than good sometimes...
That took days off my life.

wow, HYGs looked not so G tonight. gotta get some other pieces working
was wondering the same thing. No way that was by design
Thank God for Okoro. My heart is still going nuts.
15/6/6/2/2. Sir Isaac stuffing that stat line.
Trying to not get too emotionally attached to Sir Isaac since it's looking more and more likely that he'll only be boogin for one year
Sir Isaac is everything I thought he’d be and more. Good lord that young man BOOGS hard
I thought we played well until we melted down with 3 mins left. Not sure why we suck shooting FT’s. Small sample size, but that’s not something you can fix over night. It’s going to bite us at some point.
In the end huge win and teaching point tonight. Overcame serious road adversity in a hostile environment with a newly bonding team. SA ain’t no joke. They gonna beat some people. One of a few teams that athletically can hold up against our HYGs. Enjoy Okoro this year guys. He is going to takeover the league before the year is done. Freaking BALLER!
i'll give them a pass, but all the crap handles need to be fixed and someone has to find away to get to the hole. i'm looking at you Danjel.
Defense led the way for most part but can’t let up at end of games. Danjel can’t only have 2 points. He has to find more ways to score.
Hate to use an age old adage, but this win in that cracker box is gonna loom large for this squad reaching maturity & growing together. Imagine being in that dressing room after this victory. Probably took some of these young Boogs back to Steven’s dungeon in they minds.
J'Von's JUCO FT stats scared me a year ago and then he had a pretty decent season I believe from the stripe. But your PG needs to be 78% or better. He's gotta be a guy you can trust to hit those. He missed entirely too many. 0-3 I believe and at least 2 were front ends, I think it was all 3. Brutal.
We're not going to survive a lot of nights where Danjel gets 2 points and Wiley gets 2 points (no buckets, only FTs). Those dudes were NOT good tonight and I expect at least one of them to be average every time we get out there. They were abysmal. If they are their normal selves we're cruising cause Okoro was excellent, Jamal gave us big shots off the bench, Samir was solid and J'Von got us 3 from deep while Mac had a good offensive night. That should be stretched out to a double digit win but we had 2 dudes not show up and we botched some basic stuff. Just keep getting W's while we're figuring this out.
Still crazy cool to see Stretch come off the bench and get two fuggin blocks in less than 4 minutes of PT. That kid is gonna be a beast
One other thing...Okoro and Samir just made winning plays in those final minutes. We screwed a ton up but those dudes just kept making winning plays. Samir got BOTH ORebs that kept the ball alive for us. Okoro took it to the rack on our previous bucket and then made the winner at the end. People that watched him play HS ball talked about his competitiveness and how he just made winning plays. It shows already. Kid was one of the most mature, focused, ready players on the court when it was crunch time and things looked bad.
Kids a damn stud. He'll make everyone else better.

I was boogin’ my lil heart out in the living room when he got that first block. I think he can really provide some quality minutes. Especially since Wiley appears to have stayed the same since freshman year.
Flexing, smiling, celebrating every play.
I'm gonna love watching the process of him becoming whatever the hell it is he becomes. Even if its not great it's gonna be hella entertaining.
Wiley ain't it. Just ain't there. Body is great. No hands, no real feel for the game. It's a shame. Probably born 20 years late TBH. Game done changed.
He looks like fvcking Adonis out there but he’s just so awkward and unathletic. I fail to see how catching a basketball when your hands are the size of trash can lids could be so difficult. Plus he never really bodies anyone up when he does actually get the ball in the paint. He falls away from smaller defenders all the time. It’s infuriating.
Once every 3 games or so he'll make a few strong moves and I'll find myself believing he's put it together. Nope, those are the outliers. He just doesn't have the fine skills. Bad hands, lumbering around, not quick enough etc. He's like 70% to get the ball stripped if he shakes off one defender and goes to dunk/lay it up. I'm not sure how it's possible to be that easy to strip when you are that huge with monster hands but it feels like it happens all the time.
Yea that missed ally op scared me how un-athletic he looked trying to catch it. Will have to watch again maybe it was a bad pass, but he just does not look like he can get to the rim. Maybe he does not need to if all the others can (Samir, Okoro, J’Von, Flanigan, Cambridge). Spot up and play the BB role might be ok. We will improve dramatically as season goes on, but the FT issues scares the crap out of me.
Negatives I’ve noticed so far:
purifoy is still too passive. Has chances to drive every game but just will not go to the bucket and take a shot with contact.
J’von does not handle pressure well. At all.
Austin. That’s it. That’s the post.
Backup PG is no bueno. Needed someone better than Samir to get those minutes, but Turbo is either too far behind because of the injury, or he’s not a true PG.
FT shooting.
Good things:
Okoro is so smooth and we should never have a scoring drought without giving him 5 straight touches.
stretch is gonna be fun to watch every time he’s on the court
jamal is an excellent 6 man
Flannigan looked much improved. Thought we played best tonight with him on the court.
Two straight games of excellent Mac
