Did we start Huestis last time these teams met? Roberson was out in that game as well

Perfect summation for this team in a nutshell. :lol:

Had to look it up. We started Alex in that game.

Given that all our backup wings are horrible, we HAVE to slide George and Melo down one spot and start Patterson. But of course Donovan will start Grant, preferably at SG. :lol:

This is what I would do as well considering CHAs 2-4 are pretty big anyway. Melo can sag off MKG. George and Batum are similar sized.

Might as well get Ferguson some minutes. With the way this team has looked, we need to try and find some type of spark. It’s a travesty that he only had 2 FGAs in 30 minutes against POR.

Where’s Durant challenging Westbrook to get 20 assists when you need him?

Ferguson is a scrub. That one half against the trash lakers doesn't change that.

He's talented, but this season should not be about getting some late 1st round picks minutes if he can't perform.

Agreed, but you have to try and find some spark if you are OKC. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Well, without Roberson, it’s broke, so you gotta do something.

Got a better idea? And please don’t say moving Melo to the bench. Getting tired of hearing that. If he was okay with going to the bench we would have done that.

What would actually work?

Yes. Start Patterson at the 4, slide both George and Melo down one spot. Mix it up after that.

I don't give a flying **** if he's OK with or not. This is not some kind of vacation year for him. And playing him with the bench is not the same as him starting the game on the bench.

Start Felton, bring up hamilton for a few games. Him and George can facilitate the 2nd unit. Ferguson is a long way off, Russ can guard opposing 2s better than him.

At this point what should this season be? Trying to secure the 7th seed? At this time next year we might be glad Ferguson got a few more minutes.

It’s just feels like MKG belongs in a thunder uniform.
