don't sleep on the Thunder. Shai Alexander and Josh Giddey are one of the best young backcourts in the league.
im sleeping on them. they are a bad team. you think our roster contruction is bad? they lack everything. Giddey would come off our bench even with guys out.
Dort is the only guy who is trouble on that team.
Shai? yeah no thanks.. he is basically just a healthier levert. An inefficienct chucker who very little positive impact on winning and who is a complete brick layer.
41% FG, 27% from three, 52 TS%
You need to actually start watching games bro.
Going to basketball reference to pull up numbers isn't good research. You need to actually watch guys plays. SGA/Giddey/Dort are going to be an elite trio soon. SGA's efficiency is down but when you look at his career numbers the dude is a killer
Watch games.
No, they wont, not close. and even if they do become good at some point, that some point is FAR from now. SGA isnt a killer. he is a decent player surrounded by awful offensive talent. Even if he was elite talent it shouldn't be tough to gameplan stopping him, which the rest of the league has had no problem doing.
You cant give up 130 points to the worst offense in basketball... especially when you consider we had defense heavy lineups in there. Absolutely pathetic. We did absolutely nothing to take advantage of their lack of scoring prowess, lack of ball handlers, lack of interior/paint threats, lack of pick and roll game. we just played straight up with 0 passion and overreacted to every pass like they were the 2017 warriors.
No doubling to force it into their scrubs hands, no zones, no packing the paint
Everyone is crying "we have not shooters tonight we have no shooters tonight" and saying they are packing it in and swarming harden... Well guess what, they dont have shooters. we could have packed it in and swarmed SGA just the same.
I could have lived with a let down game and a loss. I can not live giving up 130 points to the worst offense in the NBA, at home, while we have defense heavy lineups in there.
Nash needs to go. period. he F'd us last year he is going to F us again this year.
unacceptable loss and i wont hear the nosense excuses.
to me this is worse then the portland loss, by a ton
