Man we just have no room in the paint despite George being on fire. Adams is getting swarmed.

Westbrook had a great defensive quarter.
“If you're getting stops and you're making threes and the other team's not scoring, that's when you're going to see a huge point difference there,” coach Billy Donovan said.

Does that mean that our (oftentimes very questionable) shot-selection is exactly what the coaches want?


westbrook is much better at making them at the rim, and play-making.

schroder is just playing like he always has. 0 FGA for abrines and patterson with him. if westbrook played minutes with them consistently things like that wouldn't happen. schroder is lobbing the ball or shooting.

I honestly think Schroder might have 50+percent of his passes out of the p&r be lobs.

JG should dunk it like that every time: he sometimes tries to finesse it when he doesn't need to.

Michael Cage is a freaking moron. “I’ve never seen Lopez reader like that.” Maybe do an Ibaka/Lopez YouTube search.

Ferguson deserved a tech more than russ. He gave Payne a little shove for no reason.
