god dammit the thunder are fukking trash

[Rigby.]

smart coaches know how to play westbrook and adjust. And they also know that okc switches in D all game and creates mismatch. Kerr will eat Donovan alive this time around.

Kerr is a fukkin bum

GSW players natural intelligence will eat OKC alive*

Russ is an absolute sieve

There’s no arguing this

Westbrook for Lonzo Ball, Kyle Kuzma and a first round pick.

he knows how to get his players to play at their best .. ie Clark, Speights, now Cook, Bell etc ..

that's what you want a coach to be able to do. same with brad stevens or spoelstra. they just know how to get the best out of their players and keep them playing at their own comfort zone instead of trying to make them something else.

His adaptations for the most part are ass though

GSW would’ve been down like 3-1 before he finally gave David Lee burn if it wasn’t for some bounces. Then the year after he gave Festus far more minutes than he deserved once Fagut went out

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

Can’t blame Billy when you have a PG who wants to play his own game. Westbrook is one of my favorite players but he gotta listen to someone eventually.


And Melo was boderline washed when he went to OKC. Adams is a better player.

 

[Devil Plisken…CMS]

And there it is. The truth of the matter.
They need to get a coach who can convince Russ to take a half step back, facilitate and take better shots

Red Auerbach, Phil Jackson, Pat Riley, Popovich, Larry Brown...these are the only 5 men that could have applied pressure on him

 

[Devil Plisken…CMS]

Paul George should have been the number #1 offensive option but Russ won't ever defer

Also the team still suffering from their whole build the team around KD & Russ with people who are good at one thing and horrible at everything else but they not even good at that one thing

smh lol You boys don't get it

A number 1 option isn't waiting on the next man to "defer" if he is a number 1 option

Paul George is doing what he should be...playing Robin

 

[EBK String]

what makes you think OF won't resign. He doesn't seem like winning is important to him he just wants to hang with his teammates and fukk ig thots.

Don't just breeze through stats. 42 games 71 shots 43%.. No way in hell should he have been starting over Harden..

It’s fine. Sefolosha was a 3&D guy and Harden was playing 30 minutes off the bench. He was practically a starter.

The point was to have some defense in there and stagger the minutes so Harden could run the second unit and the ball doesn’t stick with three ball dominant players.

No such thing as "ball dominant" if you actually have a coach. Everything is ok in Houston with ball dominant players.. GS is fine.. It would actually be damn near impossible to double team them.

as a thunder fan, i'm starting to get sick of them.

no offensive creativity, no heart, no team chemistry, pg and westbrook just doesn't mesh well. melo is too old and slow, the bench is way too garbage and they have the worst coach in the NBA.

on paper they look like they can compete with anybody, but with a team full of incompatible player along with a rookie coach that only has ncaa experience, they suck and if they do make it to the playoffs, they will lose in 5 or 6 max.

Stop blaming Donovan...

Westbrook is uncoachable. As long as he continues to play basketball like this is MyPlayer in 2K by monopolizing his teams possessions for triple doubles they are going nowhere. As long as he continues to jack threes as a 29% 3PT, take contested early shot clock midrange dribble pull-ups, force interior passes, blow defensive assignments and closeouts chasing rebounds, and force ill-advised drives the team will go nowhere. Westbrook’s body language is often trash as is his decision making down the stretch.

Paul George is a beta. The man is 6’10 with handles and athleticism yet he prefers to play finesse and shoot from the perimeter all day. Only 241 shot attempts at the rim all year, only 36 dunks all year. He is not a good closer, Durant did a much better job at taking the ball out of Russell’s hands and was an elite clutch player.

Melo has no lift or first step anymore. He is not a knock down three point shooter more of a streaky volume shooter which hurts his role as a floor spacer. OKC should have kept Kanter and McDermott. Enes is a walking double double off the bench and McDermott could shoot and cut. Presti went chasing for stars.

Roberson is trash on offense but an elite defender, a guy who cuts and doesn’t need the ball at all, and a good screener and rebounder. A glue guy around high usage players. They have missed him. Brewer was a good addition though.

Adams and Grant are solid AF.

Felton is

Ferguson is only 19

Huestis and Patterson are

Abrines is a low end spot up shooter, Collison is basically an assistant coach at this point.
