Ok we’re going to lose now. It just feels like we’re slowly bending over.

The ball movement from the beginning of the game is now non existent.

As Melo take less shots, it must be hard for him to believe that this team is better off watching George and Russ murder the game of basketball.

This team isn't even fun to watch. We know what is going to happen every night, like clockwork. We are watching a rerun.

the only player who consistently moves on offense is andre roberson. sets backscreens constantly, cuts, etc. so many possessions go -- westbrook pass to george or melo, then watch from 28 feet away as they go one on one.

westbrook and melo are both cancers; they might be ruining paul george's career.

He's 2 for 10. He's ruining his own career.

This team is trash
“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.

Damn Westbrook and Melo making George miss open threes, pump fake and try to draw non existent fouls, and chuck up shots with hands in his face.

lots of these plays are similar to the ones where westbrook and melo do this too. i call it the takie-turnie offense. westbrook gives the ball to george and stands 28 feet from the rim statuesque.
when i say ruining his career i say ruining his enthusiasm for nba basketball. say what you want about george on offense, he is locked in on defense 99% of the time this season and has done his job as a 3 and D wing. and he looks visibly shook when westbrook or melo are chucking 18 footers with 16 seconds on the clock.

A simple reading of shot clock segment data says Russ & Melo are terrible after first 10 seconds. PG alright in middle of clock but also terrible in crunch. This team probably should play fast. It might get ugly sometimes but it is already ugly a lot. Instead they play 7th slowest pace. Of course that is affected by defense but they could / should play faster.

George could've passed to grant for the easy dunk but instead takes the foul.
