:jbhmm: McGary adding a corner 3, Waiters not settling for long 2s every time down, actual 3 point shot defense, & Russy getting more post ups all seem like good things.

Also nice to see Singler actually make a couple shots.

So, now we're working on extending Waiters, and rushing to do so before November...
How we feel about this brehs?

Extension for Dion Waiters? | Daily Thunder.com

Per Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo Sports:

Guard Dion Waiters and the Oklahoma City Thunder are actively exploring a contract extension with the Nov. 2 deadline looming, league sources told Yahoo Sports.

Waiters, 23, has been enthusiastic about working toward a deal with the Thunder, eager to compete on a contender and comfortable with his growth in a strong atmosphere for player development.

As part of the NBA’s 2012 draft class, Waiters is eligible to extend his deal. Waiters’ agent, Rob Pelinka, and Thunder general manager Sam Presti have met and had ongoing discussions on the deal over the past several weeks, league sources said.

Have fun.

That just felt right watching KD basically say fukk you & close it out :noah:

Some thoughts now that preseason is done.

As a team - Need to work on cutting down fouls, we give up so many unnecessary points putting other teams on the line what feels like close to 30 times a game. I expect turnovers because of the style of play, but some of these passes are just terrible passes. Offense looked great pretty much all the way through, defense generally looked great at the start of games & would kind of drift the rest of the way.

PGs - They were what was expected for the most part. Russy is a monster, DJ sucks at defense but solid on the other end, & CamPayne showed flashes when he wasn't going 100 mph.

SGs - Robes still can't throw a grape in the ocean from a boat. A-Mo seemed to be struggling with his shot but I don't remember him getting much time with Russy & KD which should help. Waiters was really good, outside of 2 games he was exactly what we need him to be.

SFs - KD is good. Singler for what we need from him is fine, feel like he would also benefit from minutes with Russy & KD. Novak is Novak. Huestis will be back with the Blue.

PFs - Serge is going to have some goofy games this year where he randomly leads the team in scoring while teams try covering other people. Mitch needs to get he backup minutes. Nick's shot is gone, still think he'll get minutes because of defense.

Cs - Adams looked sneaky great. His hook is developing & he just seemed like a more consistent player overall from game to game. Kanter does what he does.
