And that’s why we are seeing Schroder out there. Now try imagining a competent NBA team with Felton as your back up ball handler.

Schroder showing OKC fans who he is tonight. He’s so good at getting to the basket.

Looks like PG and Schroder are going to be the only guys touching the ball in the half court for the rest of the night.

If you are talking about Schroder going to the hole, he had a lane to the basket and he has to take that, because that’s where the action starts. Now, Abrines and George have to make shots because Gentry will adjust to Schroder’s penetration. Unless Gentry tries to get Davis to help, then Adams gets buckets.

He was the one guy mentioned that offseason that I wanted less than Billy.

The '16-'17 Clippers comes to mind off-hand. They won 51 games with Felton playing in 80 and starting 10 that year.

No, I was talking about the George contested layup.

Everyone needs to be going to the hole except for Abrines.

George has to go strong to the hole there. Instead he settles for a 5-foot jumper.

Wow, this is actually Billy's offense, it has nothing to do with Westbrook.

This is where you miss Westbrook’s athleticism. Late in the 4th, when everyone is tired, he would be flying to the rim.
