One can only hope (at least I do).
Any expiring, especially if this expring could give us some quality minutes, would be amazing.

are you acknowledging that dennis schroder is a liability next to westbrook? that's a start. you had been an advocate for playing 'our five best players' in the past. that included schroder.

i'll consider this progress.

Can we end this Nader nonsense now? He's a scrub that should not see the floor.

How does being 6'1 keep Schroder from doing what Ferg does, which is basically stand in the corner and shoot wide open shots or run in transition?

Last two games:

Schröder since missing that one game due to a suspension:

11.4 PPG/3.0 RPG/3.5 APG on 35.9 % from the field, 22.5 % from 3, 64.7 % from the FT line. 41.2 TS%, 85 ORtG. 13.8 NetRtG with him off the court, -5.6 with him on the court. -19.4 On/Off.

Schröder must be in the worst slump in league history:

the chart below is the top 150 usage seasons since 1979-80 charted by their usage% and ts% relative to league average. this really puts westbrook's futility into perspective.

Spoiler:

NOT GOOD.

Glad to hear this, that was a brutal fall.

Westbrook's true shooting is basically Hillary's emails for slick.

Post #2236 » by **slick_watts** » Wed Jan 9, 2019 5:48 pm

the turnovers and assists narrative for westbrook has completely evaporated. his assists and turnovers per team possession are now virtually the same as last year, with his tov% still a career high. his orb% is lower. he's getting to the line less. his ts% is at "worst since post-merger" levels of futility relative to his usage -- which is also the lowest it has been since his sophomore season.

i'm not sure whether or not schroder or westbrook is a worse problem for this team right now. westbrook is certainly worse relative to my expectations.

Thank God. Have you informed the other GM?

apt analogy. westbrook might be characterized as a criminal in the later years of his current deal if this continues.
