god dammit the thunder are fukking trash

You don't need to stagger minutes.. that's like saying golden State should bench klay Thompson so he can score for the 2nd unit.. maybe harden should come off the bench in houston.. You know how dumb that sounds

U got to be the dumbest lol. Harden and west pretty much both played PG for the thunder. Them being on the court together all the time would offset they effectiveness cause one would turn into a spot up shooter when both are most effective with the ball in they hand, harden learned to play off bal later in his career.

Harden was coming at the 9 minute mark and shyt, not like he was getting minutes. Or that he had a problem coming off the bench, he was a mismatch to everyteam 2nd unit. His last season in okc he was pretty much the 4 option behind, ibaka, Russ and kd. That lineup got them to the fanals

Presti hangs up immediately.

The Knicks' best assets are their own picks which wouldn't look as good with Westbrook on the team (maybe not that much better; it would be Westbrook, Kanter, and a bunch of Westchester Knicks for at least half of next year.)

In terms of assets the Knicks pissed away a lot of that shyt (hell, one of their arguable more positive pieces was a player OKC traded to them in Kanter)

Eh, they have their pick this year, next year and could add in Frank as well.


The market for Russ would be small but there's no doubt teams would want him and I have no doubt the Knicks would be one of them.

nikka you didn't watch the thunder back in 2012. Every analytical # shows that they were better with Thabo playing defense and Harden coming off the bench. Harden was a PG and when him an russ were on the court it wasn't that effective.

Harden was destroying 2nd unit guys that aren't even in the NBA anymore. That's how they got to the finals.

I hate to see the thunder losing like this, but if they end 6 or 7 i won’t complain. Avoid the rockets as long as possible is their best chance of long playoff run. If it’s 8 seed it’s definitely over round one.

I still feel most of their problems are correctable but mostly comes back to coaching. Westbrook needs a coach that isn’t afraid of upsetting him by calling him out. . He shot 32 times last night. Shot 9 threes. Someone has got to point out to him that isn’t his game. When he shoots threes they lose about 80% of the time.

I still think they can be a dangerous team in the playoffs if billy Donovan can smarten up with the rotations. The year KD left they had a terrible up and down season also but got it together in the playoffs. That is the only hope left at this point. I don’t expect Donovan to get figure it out though.

I don't give a fukk about no computer numbers.. You play all 3.. You gotta be the dumbest nikka

They are .5 game behind SA for the 4th seed. Spurs/Wolves/Thunder all have 44 wins, falling hard how?

Cats talking about trading Westbrook, ya'll hot takes & overreactions are the worst.

bytch don't be mad y'all lost 2 in a row

Ya coach looks like the next school shooter on the news fukk the thunder, Corey brewer playing in the 4th got you mad

Look at ya schedule and eat those L's

No. And he's not that better than Bird.

 

[Malta]

Good riddance if he leaves.. he has fallen off badly

I disagree, he's on a team that straight up doesn't move the ball which leads to a lot of standing around, the Thunder are dead last in passes per game. You can't do too much with those ball stoppers in Melo/Russ, everyone looks worse with that kind of system, especially since he doesn't have a dominant personality.

I’d be shocked if Frank is back next year in NY regardless


And none of that shyt comes close to Westbrook. That shyt wouldn’t get you PG

Westbrick is fukkin trash. nikka just athletic and aggressive but everything else about his game is garbage. Westbrook is a bozo

 

[Jesus Is Lord]

The thunder are like 15-1 when Westbrook takes 1 three or less. They are 31-32 when he takes 2 or more

And 82% win percentage when he gets a triple double.

 

[Jesus Is Lord]

Everyone is blaming Russ, and not Billy or Melo? Or lack of a real bench?

dat too. But I see too many games where they in striking distance and Russ chucks bad 3s or has turnovers in CONSECUTIVE possessions B

He's clearly the problem
The blueprint for winning is already laid.
He's still playin like it was last season
