Adams freaking sucks. What is wrong with this dude? Catch a freaking pass!

Shai is starting to look like a player that just takes stupid shots. I get having a couple of off games but it’s time to wake up and quit forcing that weak stuff at the rim.

Maybe he's been with the Thunder long enough that Donovan is finally starting to affect him.
"I don't know of any player that, when the shot goes up, he doesn't want it to go in," Donovan said

All these years Serge took a bunch of heat about his age but it turns out that Adams was really a 40 year old man. I get that his knee might be hurt but his hands are horrible. Arthritis?

On the bright side while losing they are only losing to top teams by 1-5 points. They are competing. They definitely could have won the Clipper game and they were in this Lakers game as well. My concern is that their moral will drop if they don't start winning soon. They are like 2 guys short. They need another guy that can get them 15 points and 5 rebounds to help out.
My eyes glaze over when reading alternative stat (not advanced stat) narratives that go many paragraphs long. If you can not make your point in 2 paragraphs it may not be a great point. :D

For the sake of everyone involved, rest this guy for a couple of weeks.

Why does this organisation continue to run players into the ground? Rest him up ffs, we aren't competing so why are we pushing players that are banged up?

Adam's main strength in his first few years was that he was an agile center for his size. He held his own from time to time defending guys on the perimeter. Now he just looks slow and tired.
