-Abrines-Patterson needs to play, but Donovan refuses to put that lineup out there
-They play disciplined defensively more often than not, but then can't reward themselves on the other end. And at some point, the defensive breakdowns start happening...


Schröder is worse than I expected at finishing at the rim. I hope that improves.
Dononvan never quits tinkering.
Jerami Grant needs to be traded for trey Lyles asap.
This organization hates Patterson. That being said, he needs to quit being so inconsistent.
Yep we played the right way for a while and when we do that and still can’t shoot, it will inevitably result in hero ball.

I kinda think they need a PF more than a guard at this point

Since Westbrook's return they've been 18th in offense and 7th in defense. Slight plus net rating.

Yea I agree. I’m still higher on Diallo than Ferguson. He’s threes look like Roberson shooting. Move him and/or grant for something that doesn’t suck.

If Patterson is gonna keep being used like this and never get a rhythm I'd look at his market too. Just tried a deal on the trade board.

I like Patterson far more than Grant, but I don’t think either are really worth playing minutes for this team right now.

I’d still give Patterson more chances but Grant has no place on this team

It’s a matter of discussing what we should do as opposed to what we will do. They love grant and don’t appreciate Patterson. I also worry that dialo could be moved too.

I hadn't checked the DRTG recently, but it seemed solid. Didn't know it was that good though.

I think they like him too personally. Agree on Grant and he's been not good. I tried a deal w/ Boston and Phoenix, TLC/Nader/Patterson and a 2nd for Morris and Troy Daniels

Read on Twitter


Somebody find the post where I asked the over under until George claimed he had some lingering injury.
“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.

Which one? I think Diallo's shot looks terrible. He releases it on the way down about half the time.
