Damn the whole TNT crew is just **** on Billy. Just called him out on National TV for not having any idea on how to have the team play without Russ.

Why else would we trade for Dougie and then not actually use him in games where we have absolutely no spacing and Abrines is missing everything?

What would it matter anyway? We're not running anything for shooters. Never have, never will.


I know. Part of me just hopes.

I mean today McBuckets was out there for like a minute. He was running around with a guy glued to him and couldn't get open.

So instead of finding ways to get him open, Donovan just benches him.

I think Donovan has absolutely no idea how to put players into position to succeed. There's a reason for the very little player development that happened under him and the way roleplayers just suck.

One thing that's consistent is that Jerami Grant falls down.

Gave up a vastly superior player and a 1st round pick for him.

It doesn't matter. He's athletic so that means it's a good trade.

They are also indirectly calling out presti, for this attrocious roster construction (kd was hiding ALOT of flaws with these guys)which as I've been stating is clear as day they need to surround westbrook with shooters, and have no need for 1 way defensive guys. Don't they know Robersons dprmg %? Can't they see how well he makes klay takes somewhat more contested shots than usual at the expense of having a cohesive offense?

We really needed an athletic wing that can't score. Clearly Roberson and Huestis being on the roster just wasn't enough. Now when they announce team dunk contests, presti has ensured we will be victorious. Thank you Sam for being the GOAT GM.

I struggle to fight my back my "burn it down" feelings right now.

Semaj has been our best player tonight.

One way players in general suck. Kanter and Roberson need to go. Maybe sign Roberson so we can trade him and not lose him for nothing.

I didn't see the game. Why didn't Westbrook play in the 4th quarter?
