Seriously, if we want to have a chance on sunday we need to take care of those stupid fouls. Harden can't get to the line so much.

Referees are very bad as well. But it won't change so we need to adjust.

I would say we need Oladipo to step up but obviously that isn't going to happen. Another disappearing act in the second half for our $20 million shooting guard.

He stepped up for 5 minutes during first quarter! That's worth 20 millions right ? :banghead:

To be fair, he was playing good defense, but we need way more from our supposed ''second best scorer''

You don't know that. You've given me no reason to change by belief in what a guy like Hill would bring to this Thunder team that would make them better. I've stated all of my thoughts on it on the GB, however all you have done is run back to the perceived safety of your own teams board to hideaway and try to trash my take.

Keep the sig, and maybe stick to the Thunder board if you need that safety net. They'll provide you the comfort it looks like you need.

I'm sorry, but I see no reason to argue against such an absurd and, quite frankly, stupid belief.

Coxy, it's the worst take I've ever heard on this site. It's about as reasonable Seth could replace Steph and make GSW better.

If we get nothing else out of this series other than this thick headed Coach and organization realizing Semaj Christon shouldn't be playing (really at all or at least not getting minutes) as was the case tonight, then this series will have been a sort of success.

They forgot to write that he can't shoot free throws either. 0/5 again :nonono:

IMHO starting with a possible 25 mln/year for a full-fledged elite defender
- can't shoot 3 pts = 20mln/year
- does not have any jumpshot but can finish at the rim = 18mln/year
- can't shoot free throws = 15mln/year

Fair enough, if you don't think so, again, each to their own.

Maybe replace Russ with a Seth then maybe..... :eyebrows:

I mean, it really is sig worthy. It's incredible. I literally started laughing when I read it. Been here going on 5 years and that comment takes them all

No one's mentioning that our 25 million dollar "third option" Center had 4 pts & 6 rebs in 25 mins in a pivotal game. But thank goodness our 21 million dollar SG had 12 pts on 5-8 shooting.

Let's all take a moment to realize that it took our coach till G3 of the 1st round to realize that Taj has got to play the 5 and that Semaj Christon completely stinks.

I get where you're coming from, but in this game, those two were very important. They were the only guys with a negative NetRtG off the floor.

Also on a related note: Our best 3-Man-Lineup after the ASB Russ-Dipo-Gibson now has a +21.6 NetRtG in 50 minutes over the last two games. Taj is vital to this team.

Oh I've mentioned it. He obviously had a huge tip in but when I watch him, he's just kinda there. He's not moving, hustling or anything. Steven is a thunder guy, and it's causing people to ignore how bad the contract has become. Oladipo frustrates me too but his deal isn't near as bad as Adams deal.

I don't get it. I thought maybe he was nursing injuries we didn't know about but it's gone on so long I doubt that. Is it is it just because he got paid? Could it be that simple?

Perk Punt from DT said he might be overweight. That would explain a lot to be honest.

Does he look significantly heavier than last season? He doesn't to me.

I have no idea to be honest. IIRC, he's coaching basketball, so he might have a better eye for that. i can't judge a person's weight at all. It would explain Adams being a step slow in so many situations tho.

That does sort of sound plausible I got to admit. And all we hear about him on a personal level, is how he loves to eat!

When did George Hill become the most overrated player in the league? LOL.

Donovan finally came to his senses, you got to give him that. Though why the hell it took him so long to realise Semaj is useless, especially if you are posting Kanter up every possession...
