Lonzo is starting to get comfortable out there. I expect some big games from him in a couple weeks (if he starts)

Jonathan Simmons is fukking the thunder up lmao

starting to think billy donovan should be fired

The team is ass. Outside of Adams, Westbrook, George, Melo, Grant, Felton there are no functional NBA players on the team

Wtf are you supposed to do with Huestis, Abrines, Patterson, Ferguson, Singler, Collison?

Don’t know why Presti hasn’t scooped up Tony Allen to replace Roberson and signed somebody to add depth to the bench. Jordan Crawford get buckets.

I agree but disagree about the offense. The offense pretty much breaks down to 1 on 1 ball w/ Melo, Westbrook, PG almost all the time with Melo, Westbrook, and PG taking a lot of contested shots. With 3 (you could argue 4 w/ Adams) stars in the starting lineup, I think the starters work too hard to get shots. I don't see a lot of easy shots except for maybe in the first quarter until the inevitable offensive collapse in the later quarters when everyone goes cold. They get wide open shots but the wide open shots goes to non shooters like Grant and streaky shooters like Felton instead of Patterson, Abrines, etc. Maybe it's just me but the half court offense is awkward as hell. They are amazing in transition though.

i feel like with the offense the ISOs come down to decision making. donovan isnt telling them to do that they just take it upon themselves. i feel like this mainly russ and melo. melo should strictly be a floor spacer unless he gets a little guy on switched on him. russ is russ.... i mean, nothing is going to change him you just have to take the good with the bad and hope he will make more good decisions than bad ones. since december they still usually put up well over 100 pts so if they can get the defense back to what it was early they will be ok.
