This team has got to figure out how to get Patterson involved in the offense.

Pretty much.
Good lord.......
Am I missing something? Like a winning record? A reigning mvp who hasn’t played like garbage? Multiple blown leads?

He goes to crap after he comes back from the first break regularly.

Jump off the cliff if you want to, I have decided to ride it out. If you don’t want to that’s cool.

I have the right to my opinion so you’re also welcome to jump off a cliff.

Or if he gets a no-call, that just seems to trigger him and turn him into a 2K player in the worst possible way

Just tried, and misses a wide open 4 foot floater in the lane.

We're getting outcoached by Alvin Gentry. What lows have we reached...

At this point can we really get much worse if we replace Donovan?

How does any nba player miss that? It’s like good players come here to die. Oladipo is going to be a starter in the all star game this year.

This is some slump. I’ve never seen one this long for a player at his level

I said if you don’t want to ride it out that’s cool. That means I fully support your right to your own opinion. I will not be jumping off of any cliff, I don’t react to every little instance of adversity that way. I’m in it for the long haul.

How is Adams not in the game, only 2 fouls and he's been one of our best players tonight

I was thinking more from the perimeter, but, point taken.

I base my opinions of years of watching an offense that makes my eyes bleed. It made sense last year when I thought we didn’t have any help alongside Russ. Of course domas and Victor are proving that wrong. We get less out of our players than other franchises. I’m just sick of it. Maybe it’s all Billy. I dont know. I definitely think you move he coach before you move the superstar. Unlike many, I’m not ignoring how screwed we are next year If this experiment doesn’t work.

Re: 11/20 - 7PM CST | G16: Oklahoma City Thunder at New Orleans Pelicans
Sadly, after we lose yet another game by following the all too familiar trend of jumping out to a big lead then playing like crap the last 2 or 2.5 quarters, we'll be back to three games below .500 after Wednesday night.
Said in a thread about which point guards would make OKC better if they replaced Westbrook:

I agree with moving the coach over a superstar, especially when this particular coach seems to have changed nothing since we had Brooks. The system is the same, our defense is till really good, we still run ISO plays all the time with our star players and we're still one of the bottom passing teams.
Honestly if we don't see an improvement within the next 10 games then Donovan has to be fired. 3 years with no improvements is just pathetic.

Just let Russ play without PG and Melo. Maybe that will trigger MVP Russ

I’m not sure what we are arguing about here. You are absolutely entitled to your opinion, I have a different one. I have been watching this team for years too, like since the late 70’s.
