he's right though
Billy Donovan should be fired
OKC's ineptitude on offense and lack of system has nothing to do with Billy D. This is clear if you watched the Scott Brooks era of OKC and have seen Billy D coach at Florida.
Melo: OKC had "No strategy to me being here"

Dudes in here shytting on Westbrook like Melo is not missing OPEN shots. I mean if you can’t make open shots then there needs to be no strategy. You just suck
Lmaoooo why and how did he work Bron into a segment about OKC getting bounced

It was probably the best move tbh.
Nah, he’s going to Juwan Howard his way into a ring before he retires.

Change is inevitable...
Should have stayed in NYC, stupid
If Melo starts taking bee pollen he could become a 7 footer and extend his career into his late 30s

Lol bet he sign for that 28 milly though
Melo after signing " i love the fans and the team here i feel we can win the whole thing. We worked out our issues."
What’s wrong with that when he’s making 28 million dollars?

Come on Melo...he just keeps digging that hole
because he bullshytting that's why. He sign that extension he gonna do what they tell him to do period
When I watched their games, he just wasn't a good fit. ISO ball is pretty much his game. In this game, you have to be able to take ppl off the dribble (1 or 2 dribbles) and you're scoring or pulling up. He slowed the paced on offense with his ISO mid-post game (which isn't a bad thing, but most of his action came from that set-up), but some of that falls on the coach as well. I saw PG coming off a lot of screens that were set by Adams, which PG used to get off his 3 pointer shot or he would curl the screen and set up for the 15-12ft jumper. I would have liked to see more off ball-screens set for Melo. The movement for Melo in the offense was bad. He was either in the corner, standing, watching or he was playing ISO ball mid-post. That's not going to work for 90% of the teams in the NBA, you have to be used in all 4 phases of sets within the offense.
1. ISO ball (mid-post)
2. Pick N Roll "45" 4 and 5 pick n roll set (Him and Adams at the top of the key, or corner iso with them 2, playing 2 on 2. etc. I didn't even see a lot of "14" Pick n Roll (1 Russ and 4 Melo) Pick n Roll action.
3. Off-ball screens (Adams set screens to free open a player for jump shots) Pin-downs, flares, double flares etc. (away from the ball action)
4. One on One (perimeter action)
