Yeah I don't know what Donovan was thinking doing that in Game 1. They did a lot less of it in Game 2 it seemed like. OKC has a bunch of limited one way role players. Guys like Roberson and Jerami Grant are solid defensively (Roberson is excellent really) but limited offensively. Kanter can't play D. These are the guys they chose to surround Westbrook and KD but now KD is gone and you're left with a flawed roster.

Adams is the guy most capable of making a jump on their roster but it will take time.

The thunder really need some outside shooters to spread the floor. It's especially glaring in a matchup with the rockets who have a plethora of options.

They're pretty capped out money wise. It would be hard to move Kanter I think who is way overpaid

Spurs one of the least penalized teams in the league vs the Griz who are 27th.. Wtfrick he think would happen? And can he honestly try to say the Griz aren't known for being physical bruh?




They got their calls last night, but even so, that's not why SA lost. We were putrid. Turnovers everywhere. 12 missed freebies. Figured we'd lose after the rant, but we deserved that L.

Get it back in gear for game 4. Especially if Houston wins fame 3 vs. OKC.

Kanter is an absolute liability on defense.

Harden outplayed Russ, but both players were mostly unclutch.

Russ split 3 trips to the line to basically ice the game.

Harden missed 2 3s to take the lead with seconds to go.

In the end OKC won't be able to shoot like they did tonight again. And its likely Harden & Co don't turn it over as much.

Rox in 5.

This has been what I have picked up as well. I will never understand how posters will let a couple of guys get them so worked up that it can motivate their rooting interests

Its pretty sad. However, spent some time in non Rox threads this morning and came to the comforting realization that 3 or 4 of the posters that I thought hated the Rockets/Harden are actually unbiased lunatics that truly just have bad takes about everyone.

Thunder are +3 with RW in the game and -40 with him on the bench... Amazing with as little as he sits they could accumulate that kind of deficit lol

I'd be interested to see what the +/- for the 4th quarter is. He really seems to shoot his team out of games late by jacking up bad shots and playing hero ball.

It appears that way because the game tightens up further in the 4th, and especially on him as their focal point. This compounds their issues with lack of other viable scoring options.
