Bottom half of the west hasn't seperated themselves for me to want a full on tank + Thibs firing..I'd never root for this team to lose unless we were mathematically eliminated from the playoffs.

I still believe, but something's not right..Our defense has fallen off so bad, was it really a honeymoon period with RoCo and our defense??

Biggest difference i see is that we arent commumicating and reacting, instead we are following more of a system about being in a soecific spot on the floor. We were also doing more switching, now we are just getting rubbed off a screen and then the big falling back which leaves open shooters.

Some things I see last games that are very positive:

1) KAT passing the ball to cutters. I really enjoy KAT as facilitator. To bad often our spacing and ball movement is messed up, but even Wggins started to cut more.
2) Okogie, RoCo and Tyus tunneling their opponents in defense, they try to steal the ball, block shot or at least use their body a bit to defend. Which leads to the next improvement.
3) KAT weakside defense. With better perimeter defenders KAT has more time to position better under the rim. And as result block shots
4) Wiggins showed some signs of life as 2nd option in offense
5) Tyus controlling pace is a joy to watch. However Tyus better plays with dominant offensive players(see KAT, Wiggins), when he has to create scoring opportunites for himself - he struggles mightly.

I'm feeling very positive now. A win at OKC missing two of our best players.

Malik is 38% from 3 so far this season. 10 of 19 games over 40%, 5 of those games over 50%.
Not bad in a mess of a season start. Still expecting him to get it over 40% by season end.
