his man in this case was the remains of tyson chandler but it was still a good take.

Right, but I didn't know Noel even had a crossover in his bag of tricks.

When schroder and Russ are out there together, what’s the point? We do absolutely nothing with this lineup that tries to utilize either players strengths. It’s like it’s sams cheap imitation of the rockets.

there is no point. it's going to hurt the team relative to other options. neither of them can shoot and we're giving up something defensive against most teams. taking the ball out of westbrook's hands is really dumb in the first place unless you have a kd or something of that caliber. but sam has to make sure schroder stays happy and as productive as possible because value.

Has anyone tried telling jerami Grant that he's a terrible offensive basketball player?

I shut it off for football, did the starters just not play during that comeback?

Russ did for what we can only assume we're triple double reasons.

So they're really just that bad. Even worse than I thought.

Grant for 10 mil may look real terrible soon

I mean Russ played for part of it and they were obviously just going through the motions.

Fair. PHX was ready to be the first team in 48 years to lose 5 straight by 18+. This team isn't a playoff team.

Not that I necessarily disagree, but this game wasn't indicative of that at all and you're posting after not even watching it.

Oh agreed but just would have been a fun statistical note and I'm all about that stuff. I'm weird.

Regardless of the outcome, the issues weren’t fixed. We aren’t a playoff team and I don’t think promoting Mo Cheeks to interim fixes it.

I watched the whole thing and I guess I’m not near as upset as many of you guys.

Nerlens played well, 2Pat played well

I know Phoenix made a big run, but no one on OKC cared.

There are still a bunch of issues, but I don’t think this game means the season is over/finished.

I think it's way too early to say that. They started last season with a 4-7 record. Finished as a top10 offense and top10 defense.

Getting that first W. Still had some uneven moments. All in all its something to build on though (except for Diallo who won't be building anything other than to show up when coaches tell him).
